Parks Associates: Smart Home Device Ownership is 28% in the US, 16% in the UK, and 14% in Canada

DALLAS, Sept. 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — International research firm Parks Associates will host three industry webcasts in the coming months, with the first, “Looking Ahead to 2020: Smart Home and Security Trends in Europe and the US,” taking place Thursday, September 26, at 1:00 p.m. CT. This webcast tomorrow will feature consumer data and analysis on key trends in smart home solutions, residential security, connected health, and smart energy management.

“Several trends are pointing to mass-market potential for many smart home and IoT solutions—smart speaker ownership shows strong growth, seniors want independent living solutions, and 56% of households consider it very important to have an energy-efficient house,” said Jennifer Kent, Senior Director, Parks Associates. “Converting interest to actual purchases has proven difficult, though, so in our webcasts, we will look at key trends for the tech industries and strategies to communicate and deliver the value propositions consumers want.”

“Looking Ahead to 2020: Smart Home and Security Trends in Europe and the US” highlights recent consumer findings from surveys in the US, Canada, and the UK and puts this consumer data in context with key market developments, technological innovations, business model disruptions, and new, emerging sales channels.

The webcast “Looking Ahead to 2020: Video Entertainment and CE,” October 17 at 1:00 p.m. CT, features insights from the Parks Associates team on major trends impacting the connected consumer entertainment markets, including evolution of the smartphone market, impact of smart speakers, and convergence of CE and smart home. Parks Associates’ analysts will discuss the rise of OTT video services, the growth of ad-based services, and the decline of pay-tv subscribers.

The webcast “2020: Value Beyond Connectivity,” December 3 at 11:00 a.m. CT, will explore new ways for companies to build value for consumers and leverage connectivity to maximize adoption and profitability for IoT solutions. Parks Associates analysts will share consumer data and insights on new value-added services with strong revenue potential, new sales channels, and strategies to expand their customer base for connectivity solutions.
