Market Definitions
Home Automation
Home automation is defined as a control system that, when installed in a home, is capable of providing integrated control over at least 2 systems. These include lighting, security, audio, video, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC). Such systems should have the capability to interface with more than 1 functional application area (such as lighting and security) even if initially installed primarily to control one of these. These control systems communicate via a variety of methods that may either use a proprietary or a standard communications protocol. Home automation systems also vary in their functionality, technical capabilities, and user interface.
Mass Segment
The mass segment contains systems that are inexpensive and affordable for most of the households. A value system would have a basic user interface that has less elaborate functions. Average price is another key differentiator between value and luxury systems.
Luxury Segment
The luxury segment includes systems that are specially made for affluent customers and are installed in expensive and typically large houses. A typical luxury home automation system contains sophisticated software with multiple touch screen user interfaces.
Entertainment Controls
Entertainment controls include, but not limited to, home theater controllers, audio or video switchers and processors, audio and video system operation and distribution, multi-room audio or video, outdoor entertainment controls, gaming controls, whole-home integrated controls, touch screens, and keypads.
Lighting Controls
Lighting controls include, but not limited to, whole-home lighting control systems, dimmers, switches, day lighting controls, window treatments controls, motion sensors, touch screens, and keypads.
Security Controls
Security controls include, but not limited to, alarms, access control systems, surveillance systems, door contacts, motion sensors, touch screens, and keypads.
HVAC Controls
HVAC controls include, but not limited to, thermostats, temperature sensors, humidity sensors, and keypads.
Geographical Segmentation
Asia-Pacific refers to Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand.
End-user Segmentation
The home automation market in this research is segmented by application—luxury segment and mass segment.
Market Size/ Pricing/ Revenues
Selling prices and revenues from manufacturers to distributors/contractors/end users are included. Figures do not include design and installation costs. Contract values for operations, and scheduled and ad-hoc maintenances are also excluded. Selling prices and revenues indicate the prices of main home automation system only. The revenue figures do not include the technology used for the transmission of signals, such as wires and switches, or the devices that are controlled by the system such as the audio-video equipment, motorised blinds, lighting systems, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment.
