Covid-19 Analysis

The outbreak of COVID-19 affected numerous industry verticals. The surge in the number of COVID-positive patients globally forced governments to imply policies such as stay at home, social distancing, home segregation, and others. However, the demand for blockchain-enabled smart home devices reported significant growth during an unprecedented crisis. The semiconductor industry faced supply chain issues, production scarcity, shortage of raw materials, transportation, and logistics irregularities that has hindered the growth of the market, while the demand from several end-use industries was increasing consistently such as smart home devices, IT and telecommunication during the lockdown period. Work and Education from home/remote has drove the smart home devices market significantly.

Market Dynamics

The Global Blockchain in Smart Home Market is expected to witness substantial growth during the forecast period, primarily due to the increasing demand from the smart home devices. Furthermore, enhanced smart home performance is expected to add to the market growth. However, the high cost of adoption is one of the factors responsible for hindering the growth of the blockchain in the smart homes market. On the other hand, the market is opportune by a wide application base. Moreover, the market faces challenges such as bulk data generation may cause data storage concerns.

• IMPROVED SECURITY AND INCREASE IN REMOTE CONTROL AND IOT-ENABLED APPLICATIONS

Smart homes comprise a variety of home appliances, including air conditioning systems, refrigeration units, water heaters, lighting, television, sound system, smart locks, to automate tasks and control remotely as per the requirement and convenience. Although, the integration of smart home devices with blockchain technology was introduced to create an infrastructure of connected devices that work together for users’ convenience in day-to-day household activities. Blockchain enables the empowerment of IoT devices in smart homes to enhance security and bring transparency to IoT ecosystems. This has led to drive blockchain in smart home market significantly.

• HIGH COST OF ADOPTION AND THIRD-PARTY ACCESS TO USER DATA

It is an obvious that the integration of blockchain and IoT for smart home applications requires a lot of processing power and data storage capacity for smooth functioning, hence require high installation cost. Also, the decentralization of users’ sensitive personal data onto several computer servers belonging to different third-party entities can risk data privacy owing to their access. The user data can be further used and sold for different business purposes without permission. This is creating concerns over the user data and is thought to be one of the restraining factors to the blockchain in smart homes market during the forecast period.

• WIDER APPLICATION BASE

Smart home appliance market is way large. The end-use applications of blockchain in smart home can be broadened to numerous solutions in day-to-day life from thermostats, smart televisions, refrigerators, and many other IoT-enabled use cases. The integration of blockchain technology with smart home devices can be implemented in applications such as water management, lighting, energy efficiency, home security systems (including smart locks and smart security cameras, parental control, others), pet management, and many others.
