Smart Home Growth Disrupting Home Service Industries

Shipments of smart home devices will reach 252 million units by the end of 2018, up more than 55% from 2017. “This double-digit growth is just the beginning of a market that will see 467 million smart home device shipments in 2023. Now, more than 70 million homes worldwide have one or more smart home devices,” said Jonathan Collins, ABI Research Director. Read more.
