Synopsis:

North America unit shipments for smart bulbs, lamps, fixtures and light strips will increase 12X in the next five years. Major drivers include: a strong US economy, smart home voice assistants, mass market retailers’ smart lighting investments as well as hub-less solutions using Bluetooth or WiFi with a low-cost entry point.

For this report, ON World conducted phone-based and in-person interviews and surveys in July/August 2018 and again in May/June 2019. This includes hundreds of retail stores such as Home Depot, Lowe’s, Walmart, Target, Bed Bath & Beyond, Best Buy, Apple Stores, Ace Hardware and True Value. ON World also conducted surveys with 6,600 smart home consumers through June of 2019.

ON World’s Q2 2019 survey with smart bulb buyers found that 77% purchased their first smart bulb within the past year. Current smart bulb buyers are planning an average of 5.7 additional smart bulbs over the next two years. However, 1 in 4 have returned at least one smart bulb over the past two years and 30% indicate that it was “moderately difficult” to “nearly impossible” to install their smart bulb.

Mass Market Strategies

Our research has uncovered significant smart lighting channel growth and consumer demand in the North America market. Voice assistants such as Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant have simplified the technical complexity of deploying and configuring smart home devices. This is illustrated by C by GE’s seamless integration with Google Home Mini that is hub-less and hides the user from the “pain point” of network integration.

This report analyzes these developments, evaluates the market leaders and innovators, and uncovers the user requirements and technology gaps for mass market smart lighting adoption.

Research Scope

This report-- based on extensive surveys and interviews across the whole smart lighting ecosystem with nearly 7,000 individuals-- analyzes the North America residential smart lighting market specifically for smart bulbs, light strips, lamps and fixtures.
