Alarm.com IPO shows possibilities for profit in smart home services

While 1 in 5 broadband-connected U.S. households pay for some kind of professionally-monitored home security systems, fewer than 1 in 12 have installed so-called smart home gear, according to a survey by Parks Associates that was cited in the Alarm.com filing. The smart home security and automation market is projected to grow 21% annually, hitting $15 billion worldwide in 2018, according to Juniper Research.

Of course, not all rosy projections come true. Smart home technology is still fairly new, and many consumers are concerned about the privacy and security implications of installing smart home devices. And the warring software standards may persuade many potential buyers to wait for a consensus winner to emerge.
