Global Smart Wiring Devices Market Size, Share & Industry Trends Analysis Report By Product Type (Smart Switches, Smart Outlets, Smart Dimmers, Smart Thermostat), By Application (Residential, Commercial and Industrial), By Regional Outlook and Forecast, 2022 - 2028

Analysis of Market Size & Trends

The Global Smart Wiring Devices Market size is expected to reach $14.4 billion by 2028, rising at a market growth of 10.6% CAGR during the forecast period.

A smart wiring device is an upgraded electronic solution, such as electrical switches, outlets, and other devices, that is integrated with wireless connectivity and may be remotely controlled via voice commands, a smartphone app, or other network-enabled devices. These devices offer enhanced energy efficiency, convenience, and security for residential, business, and industrial applications.

In addition, smart wiring devices are intended to enable users to optimize their energy consumption, reducing energy expenditures and contributing to a more sustainable future. Smart thermostats, for instance, may automatically alter the temperature to conserve energy based on their users' behavior. On the other hand, smart outlets and switches can be programmed to turn off appliances or lights when they're not in use, thereby reducing energy waste and power costs.

A smart dimmer is a device that controls the intensity of light. It accomplishes this by adjusting the electricity provided to the light bulb. This can be accomplished with an electronic circuit or a mechanical switch. Controlling the amount of light in a room is a typical dimmer application. Users can lessen a light's brightness by reducing the power it receives. There are both independent dimmers and dimmers that are incorporated into light switches. They are capable of dimming incandescent, fluorescent, and LED light sources.

Some dimmers feature a "night mode" that minimizes the amount of blue light emitted by bulbs. Supposedly, this facilitates a more restful night's sleep. A smart switch is a component that completes or pauses the electric current flow in an electrical circuit. A straightforward on/off switch may be utilized to turn lights and appliances on and off. However, devices like solenoids, motors, and LEDs can be controlled by more complicated switches.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The pandemic affected the construction industry, particularly on initiatives for smart cities, residences, and buildings. Construction project delays have a bad impact on the economy. Supply chain problems and a lack of investments in retail & commercial premises were the main causes. Lockdown measures implemented by the government to stop the virus' spread drastically decreased building foot traffic, leading to the insolvency of numerous important market players. The market for smart wiring devices experienced a fall in revenues and unit shipments in 2020 due to COVID-19. The market consequently showed signs of slowing during the pandemic period.

Market Growth Factors

Advent of IoT enabled HVAC systems

IoT has also penetrated the ventilation, heating, and air conditioning (HVAC) industry, resulting in unique and noteworthy improvements similar to how it has done in other verticals. For example, HVAC system management, data collection, and cloud data storage are all facilitated by IoT connections. In addition, the HVAC sector's collaboration with the Internet of Things has made it possible to regulate appliances remotely and offer greater customer-centric services. This will fuel market expansion.

Growing trend of smart homes

The trend of smart homes is emerging at a rapid pace. Artificial intelligence integration in smart home appliances for smart features is predicted to increase product demand. In addition, the increasing use of the internet and smartphones is accelerating the development of the internet- and smartphone-connected smart home devices. The rapid adoption of contemporary technologies like the internet of things (IoT), smart speech recognition, blockchain, and artificial intelligence (AI), among others, substantially impacted the market expansion. This is expected to contribute to the expansion of the market for smart wiring devices in the upcoming years.

Market Restraining Factor

High cost of installation

Standard cables pose a significant obstacle throughout the installation process. These blue C-wires give continuous electricity to a smart thermostat so that its software can run. In older homes, C-wires are typically absent, necessitating the usage of an adaptor. As a result, the user may have to run a cable from their thermostat to the closest power outlet, which may be problematic. Over the forecast period, the market expansion may be hampered by the installation's high cost and complications when installing smart wiring devices such as smart thermostats.

Product Type Outlook

Based on product type, the smart wiring devices market is segmented into smart switches, smart dimmers, smart thermostat, smart outlets and others. A network switch built to be handled by a network management system is known as a smart switch. The benefit of using smart switches is that they offer centralized network management, which can enhance performance and security. The expansion can be linked to the expanding acceptance of IoT-based home automation systems and the penetration of the electrical infrastructure.

Application Outlook

By applications, the smart wiring devices market is bifurcated into residential, commercial, and industrial. In 2021, the commercial covered a considerable segment revenue share in the smart wiring devices market. The expansion could be attributed to the growing use of these devices in various industries, including hospitality, healthcare, and education. In addition, during the forecast period, the segment is also anticipated to be driven by the rising demand for sophisticated security systems at offices and governmental buildings.
