Growth in number of HVAC equipment users

HVAC systems are being increasingly adopted globally for their energy
efficiency. With the help of heating and air conditioning equipment, the
temperature can be maintained within a household. Smart thermostats help
in monitoring and controlling the temperature from remote locations
also. Therefore, the growth in the construction of residential and
commercial buildings is expected to drive the demand for HVAC equipment,
thereby spurring the demand for smart thermostats.

Anju Ajay Kumar, a lead tools
and components
research analyst at Technavio, says, “The number
of ACs installed in residential households in the US increased
significantly during 2010-2016 and is expected to rise in the next five
years. Consumers have become highly conscious of energy costs and the
conservation of energy. Hence, they prefer investing in technology that
aids in reducing costs. This is expected to drive the demand for smart
thermostats, thereby driving the growth of the market.”

Increasing popularity of smart homes

Smart homes use electronic communication devices such as smartphones or
tablets to connect domestic appliances like air conditioning units,
lighting systems, TVs, computers, heating systems, security devices, and
cameras. Smart homes are gaining popularity globally as consumers give
higher preference to their comfort and convenience. The global smart
homes market is expected to grow exponentially during the forecast
period due to the increase in the adoption of smart devices. These
devices can be controlled remotely and can report their own maintenance
needs, which makes it more convenient for the consumer.

“In most of the developed regions like Europe and North America,
there is a high rate of adoption of smart thermostats. North America is
the world's most advanced smart home market and is witnessing
significant growth mainly due to the need for energy management in
households. Innovations in IT and growing consumer acceptance are the
key drivers of the smart homes market,” adds Anju.

Government initiatives to promote the use of thermostats

Government agencies are an important factor in driving the sales of
smart thermostats in the US and European countries. Governments across
the world are working to educate their citizens and formulating policies
and legislation that are designed to reduce the carbon footprint. This
has contributed to the growing awareness about the need to protect the
environment. Consequently, consumers are willing now more than ever to
take energy-saving initiatives, and smart thermostats help users reduce
energy wastage by cutting electricity consumption.

The smart
thermostats market
in Europe is being driven by the emission
reduction targets to combat climate change. Energy efficiency
certifications for commercial and residential buildings are also helping
the market in Europe to grow. Also, increasing awareness among consumers
regarding the user-friendly features and convenience of smart
thermostats represent a major market growth driver.
