Parks Associates: Consumer Familiarity with Video Doorbells Has Increased by 57% Over the Past Year

DALLAS, April 2, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- New research from Parks Associates finds consumer familiarity with video doorbells has increased by 57% over the past year. The firm's Smart Home Tracker reveals video doorbells now have the fourth highest adoption rate among smart home products in the US market, with very high growth potential in 2019.

"One-quarter of broadband households report intention to purchase a smart video doorbell in the next 12 months," said Patrice Samuels, Senior Analyst, Parks Associates. "Leading brands, including Ring, SimpliSafe, and Netatmo, all released new products in this category at the end of 2018. Several firms also announced new video doorbells at CES 2019, leading to a very competitive market. Parks Associates forecasts close to four million unit sales in 2019, up to more than five million by 2023."

The Smart Home Tracker notes Kasa, Ezviz, Tuya, and Maximus were among the firms announcing new smart doorbells at CES 2019. As more products become available, manufacturers will look to differentiate their offerings through unique, innovative features or by targeting new consumer segments. For example, the Ring designed its Door Cam model to target MDU residents, which will expand its market in the US and Europe.

"Many smart doorbells are bought standalone, but almost all of these products are part of a smart product ecosystem, where the manufacturer also offers smart cameras, thermostats, or other sensors," Samuels said. "The current popularity of smart doorbells helps raise the adoption prospects for a host of smart home devices."
