A Smart Home Industry Forecast for 2019

Brainbean Apps CEO and visionary Alexey Pelykh

The biggest problem the industry’s challenged with today is fragmentation. While every company wants to simplify the life of their customers, in total they’re offering a too wide variety of options to manage. Customers find themselves frustrated to keep in mind how to use their smart toothbrushes, bulbs, pillows, kitchen appliances they might have and recall specific details (like root passwords) about every smart device once it requires maintenance.

We, at Brainbean Apps, collected the list of actual and rapidly growing trends for Smart Home Industry at 2019. It is a part of our new e-book “Smart Home Industry In 2019: Trends, Perspectives, Forecasts”.

So in 2019, the industry will further seek for simpler ways to control ALL devices within a single interface or from a single place, whether it’s a separate hub or a digital assistant on their phones (or both?).

By the way, with the further development of hubs, we’ll also see how they get more features, such as video surveillance and sharing, security alarm, Wi-Fi enabling capabilities and so on. They may also get smarter and analyse incoming data to suggest additional security measures and device expansion for more comfort and protection.

The next things will also happen in 2019 though will make a lesser impact on the industry:

Smart home functionality will be brought to your car. For instance, it can show event alerts and provide voice control for your home while you’re on the go. Toyota has already been putting efforts to integrate Alexa into its cars, and Samsung’s currently pushing Bixby to households and cars.

Further progress on standardisation. With the introduction of WPA3, Wi-Fi connectivity should get even more secure, and Bluetooth 5 is expected to eventually win the market of low-energy devices, bringing easier interoperability between solutions of different manufacturers.

Our mobile phones will not only gather data but transmit it to other smart home devices for better interaction and multi-angle data analytics.

Businesses will find ways to gather user information for further analysis and monetising without compromising their privacy and security.

Insurance companies will further seek ways to jump into the smart home industry and take advantage of sensors and video cameras to control and decrease the risks of accidents or minimise possible consequences (especially in the cases of natural disasters).
