Global Smart Appliances Market to Grow 23.48% by 2020 - Increased Convenience & Functional Value of Easily Communicating with Appliances Remotely - Research and Markets

DUBLIN, November 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Smart Appliances Market 2016-2020" report to their offering.

The report forecasts the global smart appliances market to grow at a CAGR of 23.48% during the period 2016-2020.

Amazon introduced the Amazon Dash Button in 2015, which is an electric device designed to make ordering products from the Amazon website easier and faster. By sticking these Dash Buttons on appliances like dishwashers or washers, consumers can order products like washing powders from Amazon with just one touch. These collaborations between popular players and online retailer Amazon will help increasing the popularity and growth of smart appliances during the forecast period.

According to the report, wireless technologies like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and ZigBee can be used in or accessed by smartphones and tablets. But the inclusion of these technologies in home appliances (like air conditioners) is a means of product differentiation by manufacturers that is enticing tech-savvy consumers.

Further, the report states that when it comes to smart connected appliances, there are concerns regarding security and privacy. Due to the lack of a user interface, the automatic interaction between the connected devices in IoT is often invisible to users; this makes it easy for utility companies or third-party energy management and service providers to collect information, including private and personal data, without the user's knowledge.
