Abstract
Summary
In-Stat' s research shows that over three times as many households had a simple
electrical timer compared to a standalone automation system. The number of
automation systems in use per household will steadily rise over the next four
years. In addition, there were a few respondents with a system connected to a
PC home network; however, we expect that number to almost triple in four
years. We expect the number of households paying a remote access fee to
control or monitor their automation or security system in North America will
rise by a 24% CAGR from 2007 through 2011, while fee-based remote access
service revenue will rise similarly.
This report provides North American five-year forecasts for the following:
household penetration of home automation systems, households with remote
access to an automation system, the number of home automation systems per
household, the number of home automation systems in use, home automation
systems connected to PC home networks, households with remote access to an
automation system, remote access users paying a fee, average remote access
monthly fees, and annual remote access service revenue.
