As part of the Internet of Things, intelligent living – or smart home – is an essential part of digitalization. The topic of smart homes is also becoming increasingly important in the consumer market. A survey by Statista shows in which areas users rely on smart homes: The most popular are networked lighting products such as light bulbs that can be controlled via a smartphone app. This is followed by virtual assistants and entertainment products, such as speakers. Devices that can make the household more sustainable and safer only made it to the bottom three ranks. Experts expect the smart home market to grow strongly in the coming years: global sales will grow by an average of 27.5 percent per year by 2022.
