Summary
Convenience & The Logistics of Smart Homes | By 2029, there will be an estimated 300.88 million smart home device users in Europe, up from 221.36 million in 2024 (Statista, 2025). As their presence in the home multiplies, smart home brands are introducing intuitive interfaces, support for complex automations and upscaled designs – all features that ensure the tech remains an invisible (yet always available) assistant. |
Security & Home Monitoring | Among Americans who own smart home devices, 50% use a connected doorbell, while another 50% use security cameras – the most commonly owned devices after smart speakers (73%) (American Home Shield, 2025). This safety-conscious tech is evolving to offer users a more comprehensive overview of all activity around their homes, including improved facial detection and activity notifications. |
Homes Become Health Hubs | As noted in CES 2025: Home Electronics, the home is evolving into a silent health companion, equipped with devices that act as trackers and coaches to keep users healthy. These silent wellbeing supports are embedding into a wide range of products, from smart mattresses and workout machines to air quality monitors and showers. |
