How big is the home networking/home automation market?
Since there is no universal definition of home networking and home automation, it’s difficult to measure the size of the market. We can say that the number of homeowners who have embraced home connectivity as CEDIA defines it has grown tremendously in the past decade, as newer and less expensive technologies have been developed. More homeowners are beginning to understand the value of these systems, in providing security, comfort and cost savings to their families. According to survey results released by CEDIA in 2003, CEDIA member companies are positive about the growth of the industry, with 71 percent of survey respondents reporting that business increased in 2003.
