"Forty-​three percent of US broadband households plan to buy a smart home product in 2019, but many markets have struggled to transform this interest into actual sales, specifically among new buyers," said Elizabeth Parks, President, Parks Associates.

  • Smart Speaker with Voice Assistant: 25%
  • Smart Light Bulb: 24%
  • Smart Smoke/​CO Detector: 23%
  • Networked Camera: 22%
  • Smart Door Lock: 21%

Additional data from Parks Associates:

  • 35% of consumers report experiencing a data privacy or security issue in the past 12 months.
  • Smart thermostats and networked cameras are the most highly adopted smart home devices.
  • 25% of US broadband households plan to buy a smart video doorbell in 2019; 25% also plan to buy a smart speaker with voice assistant in 2019.

Last year, according to AudienceSCAN, more than half of High-​Speed Broadband Internet Subscribers for Home Use took action after receiving email ads. The most effective messages included coupons/​discount codes and limited-​time offers/​sales. So, it's no surprise that these consumers were also driven to action by direct mail ads and coupons and ads on daily deals sites such as Groupon last year.
