Changing Dynamics of the Smart Home Create Opportunities for Service Providers

The very connected nature of smart home products and their access to expanded cloud or edge intelligence provides the opportunity for a wide range of services to be attached that can drive recurring monthly revenue (RMR) or additional ad hoc purchases. Service providers from security and home automation to broadband, insurance, energy, and healthcare companies are uniquely positioned to capture value in the smart home era. They have large customer bases with a recurring billing relationship. Many have experience with end-to-end services for technology offerings, including sales and distribution, installation, support, and maintenance. Many can bundle products and services for personalized offerings with tiered pricing and financing options.

Yet, Parks Associates finds that about 70% of purchase Intenders for smart home products still find retailers the most appealing channel for device purchases. Security providers are found most appealing for device purchases by 18% of Intenders, and most appealing for installation and maintenance each by 23% of Intenders. Broadband providers come in as the third most popular channel with a 9-10% preference each for purchase, installation, and maintenance functions.
