Smart thermostat, an app-enabled smart home device, allows occupants to remotely control the home’s heating and cooling temperature through internet-connected devices. Using advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI), the device learns home schedules and preferences over time, allowing it to conserve energy and significantly minimize the utility bill. In this scope, we have considered companies that provide these devices such as Emerson Electric Co., Honeywell International Inc., Johnson Controls, Venstar Inc., and others. Many companies launched new touchscreen smart thermostats for multiple functionalities of smart homes.


For instance,



  • In March 2022: Bosch Thermotechnology Corp. launched a new touch screen smart thermostat “Bosch Connected Control (BCC100)”. It offers multiple functionality for smart homes including Wi-Fi connectivity, remote monitoring, and control of home HVAC systems.


COVID-19 IMPACT


COVID-19 Limited the Demand for Smart Thermostat Among Customers which Hindered Market Growth


The outbreak of COVID-19 has disturbed normal life and prompted individuals, governments, and organizations to reconsider their business activities. The construction industry plays a vital role in the country’s economic development and progress. The global construction sector, especially smart homes, buildings, and city projects, has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Construction project delays had cascading effects on the economy. The main reasons for project delays are due to supply chain issues and lack of investment in commercial and retail real estate. But in recent years, during the pandemic, the popularity of the home automation industry has increased among users and lockdown limitations have forced individuals to spend more time in their homes. As a result, a larger number of traders have entered the market. Also, more businesses entering the market and a rising proportion of online sales have expanded the range of home automation products. For instance,



  • In 2020, Entergy Arkansas, LLC launched an online marketplace for customers to purchase discounted smart thermostats, air purifiers, dehumidifiers, and LED bulbs.

Growth in Smart Buildings and Smart Projects to Boost the Market Development


The urbanization of society continues to upsurge, with a focus on smart cities, where the Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and connected technologies are used to improve public safety, critical infrastructure, city lighting, traffic flow, energy efficiency, and traffic congestion. The aim is to make the city a better place to live, work, and play while reducing its carbon footprint.


Furthermore, air conditioning and heating, ventilation, lighting, security, and electricity are all automated in smart buildings. Sensory data, such as carbon dioxide concentration, indoor and outdoor temperature humidity, and occupancy status, are required for automation. Data is used in a mix of technologies to make smart buildings more energy efficient. Since HVAC systems consume roughly half of a building's energy, smart buildings employ smart type of thermostats that automate HVAC settings and therefore can learn the temperature preferences of residents or occupants.



  • According to a report by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, buildings consume roughly 40% of the energy consumed in the U.S. and account for one-third of global CO2 emissions. Making buildings more energy-efficient is not only a cost-cutting measure, but it is also an important climate change mitigation strategy. As a result, "smart" buildings are increasingly becoming the norm around the U.S.


DRIVING FACTORS


Increasing Adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) Solutions and Smart Homes to Accelerate Market Growth


Smart thermostats are used in homes to control temperature and humidity while allowing fresh air flow and maintaining air quality. Further, from local or remote locations, one can monitor system performance and respond to system-generated alarms. This device use wireless communications, internet connectivity, mobile devices, and cloud computing to save energy, control HVAC system operation, and reduce costs.


IoT platforms are one of the most important global economic drivers of the smart home market. At home, IoT-based devices offer energy-saving features. According to GSMA Intelligence 2020 report, IoT connections are expected to reach approximately 5.1 billion in North America by 2025, up from 2.8 billion in 2019. With high-speed technology such as 5G, it shows that within some years, there would be a massive cluster of sensors and devices. Such growing proliferation of IoT devices in North America is likely to surge the demand for smart homes toward a higher growth trajectory.


Thus, the rising demand for smart homes is anticipated to boost the market in the future.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


High Manufacturing Costs and Installation Complexities of the Product to Hinder Market Growth


Improved control systems and innovative smart thermostats require significant investments. As a result, it may be difficult for small and medium-sized businesses) to enter into the market. Also, consumers with low spending power could find it difficult to afford the price.


Since these devices are often hardwired into the home, setting them up precisely might be challenging unless the technician is tech-savvy. For optimal operation and failure prevention, HVAC systems with smart thermostats need fine-tuning and specific manufacture of parts during installation. As a result, competent technicians are required to install these thermostats that are integrated with HVAC equipment properly. If the installation is not completed by a qualified professional, the end-user might have to pay extra for repairs in the future, or the HVAC systems may not function properly. As a result, the need for experienced labor raises the cost of system installation.


Therefore, high installation complexity, manufacturing cost, and various compatibility requirements are expected to hinder the growth of the market.
