Research Finds Home Security Customers Value Choice, Prefer Standalone Products

February 02, 2022

The uncertainty caused by COVID-19 has heightened consumer anxiety about the safety and security of their families and homes. These circumstances have expanded the volume and type of consumers searching for safety-related home solutions.

At the end of 2020, Parks Associates’ research found that 27% of broadband households strongly agreed with the statement, “I am far more concerned about the physical security of my home than I was five years ago” — and that number rises to 43% among households with children.

While residential security system adoption held steady at 26-27% from 2014-2017, a 10% increase moved the needle to 36% adoption as of Q2 2021.

From the article "Research Finds Home Security Customers Value Choice, Prefer Standalone Products" by Jennifer Kent and Tam Williams.
