DALLAS, TX--(Marketwired - Apr 4, 2017) - Security research from Parks Associates shows that adoption of interactive services among U.S. households with professional security monitoring has experienced a 50% CAGR from 2011 to 2016, reaching more than 8.3 million U.S. households. From 2016 to 2021, adoption of interactive security services, such as monitoring through an app and mobile control, will grow at an estimated 13% CAGR from 2016 to 2021, according to Parks Associates' forecasts from Home Security NUMBERS™ .
"Although consumers tend to over-report adoption of interactive services, this trend is clearly positive -- today 38% of professionally monitored security subscribers have interactive services, and that number will grow to 60% by 2021," said Tom Kerber , Director of IoT Strategy, Parks Associates. "Interactive services have fueled growth in the security industry over the past five years and will continue to do so over the next five years."
Kerber will be speaking on the session " Leveraging Emerging Smart Home Technologies to Grow your Business " at 10 a.m., April 5, at ISC West in Las Vegas. Parks Associates is supporting ISC West, the largest event in the U.S. for the physical security industry. The event covers access control, alarms and monitoring, biometrics, IP security, video surveillance/CCTV, networked security products, and more.
The session will analyze how voice technology, gesture control, and entertainment/smart home hybrid systems are changing the smart home market. Speakers also focus on strategies that security dealers and manufacturers can leverage to expand their customer base. Joining Kerber on the panel are the following speakers:
- Mitchell Klein, Executive Director, Z-Wave Alliance
- Jeremy McLerran, Director of Marketing, Qolsys
"The security industry is the leading channel for smart home services, but competition from smart product vendors is heating up," Kerber said. "As the smart home transitions beyond early adopters, a simple, seamless user experience is paramount. Voice and artificial intelligence are increasingly shaping advances in the user experience."
