To gather both qualitative and quantitative insights, supply-side and demand-side stakeholders were interviewed during the primary research phase. CEOs, VPs of Product Innovation, heads of IoT platforms, and channel strategy directors from manufacturers of sanitary ware, smart home technology, and bathroom fixtures were examples of supply-side sources. Demand-side sources included multi-family housing developers, luxury residential architects, commercial property management firms, hotel chains' facilities management leads, residential construction project managers, smart home integrators, and hospitality procurement directors. Market segmentation, smart technology integration timetables, acceptance obstacles, pricing elasticity, and installation infrastructure needs were all supported by primary research.
