Smart Thermostats Market: Growth Drivers

Increasing adoption of smart homes.

The energy consumption levels of an HVAC system can be optimized to a greater extent by using smart thermostats. Smart thermostats use wireless communications, internet connectivity, mobile devices, and cloud computing to conserve energy and regulate the operation of HVAC systems, lowering expenses. Customers' interest in adopting smart thermostats in smart homes has risen as technology has evolved and several gadgets have seen a rapid improvement. Moreover, home from home orders due to the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way how people interact and live in their homes. People are configuring their physical space to meet new functional requirements, including working and learning at home, creating at-home gyms, or finding new ways to relax and enjoy themselves. Connected homes, automated systems, and new technologies have played a critical role for the people staying at home. As a result, demand for smart thermostats is likely to rise during the forecast period as a result of the smart home revolution.

Smart Thermostats Market: Restraints

Smart thermostats have high production and installation expenses.

Upgrades to control systems and the development of novel smart thermostats will necessitate large expenditures. This makes it difficult for small and medium-sized businesses to enter the market for smart thermostats. HVAC systems with smart thermostats require fine-tuning and particular manufacturing of parts during installation for optimal functioning and failure avoidance. The end-user may have to spend more in the long term for repairs if the installation is not done by a trained professional, or the HVAC systems may not perform properly. As a result, the cost of system installation is increased by the need for a professional staff. In addition, concerns regarding data security and the lack of awareness are the restraining factors for the market growth.

Smart Thermostats Market: Opportunities

Increasing demand for self-learning devices

End consumers need automatic functionality because it reduces human labor and is more convenient. As a result, self-learning energy-saving gadgets are becoming more popular as a means of lowering energy use. Smart thermostats are ideal for residential and commercial applications due to their self-learning mode and ability to be controlled remotely via smartphones and tablets. The rising usage of these self-learning devices in residential applications is likely to provide market participants with a chance to expand their residential share. Self-learning gadgets will also assist the elderly in controlling HVAC equipment without having to deal with difficult programming.

Smart Thermostats Market: Challenges

High upgradation costs of existing systems

Traditional HVAC equipment is generally wired and is equipped with old hardware, which is incompatible with the advanced smart thermostat. Upgrading existing thermostat systems with smart thermostats involves not only the thermostats but also the connected equipment that they control, as traditional HVAC equipment is generally wired and is equipped with old hardware, which is incompatible with the advanced smart thermostat. Upgrading HVAC systems at the building level necessitates a comprehensive examination of existing systems and the preparation of a strategy to incorporate an updated smart thermostat into the existing HVAC system. The procedure includes design and execution, both of which are time-consuming and costly. Another difficult issue with retrofits is the update of incomplete devices, which results in an inability to recognise the presence of a problem in the system.
