Abstract
The Asia/Pacific home automation services market is expected to grow quickly
in 2008 and 2009; however, the market development within the region is uneven.
Japan and South Korea are expected to continue to take the leading positions
in the region in terms of the technology. Australia and New Zealand have high
development potential, providing that most single-family homes require a
higher level of home security. China, Taiwan, Thailand, Hong Kong, and
Singapore are potential markets with the need for more customer education.
India and Malaysia will contribute to the regional home automation services
emergence in two to three years, while Indonesia and the Philippines will not
contribute significantly to development in the short-term, due to their weak
infrastructures.
Included is related information from the Residential Technology Survey (RTS)
which was conducted in 2Q07. The data for this report were obtained via
web-based questionnaires, and the respondents were members of global online
consumer panels in countries that are considered "e-ready." Over 800 responses
were obtained from Korea and Japan. The results indicated that Koreans had the
highest ownership rate among all the markets for home automation systems.
