Smart Home Automation trends3.1.2 Home Automation Is Perceived As, What Matters?
§ Home automation is mostly seen as a luxury and not a necessity by homeowners. Due to the high cost of the products at present, Home Automation is considered as affordable by individuals with Net Worth over 5-7 crore. While there are 182,000 millionaire households in India.
§ Individuals with a Net Worth of less than 5 Cr cannot appeal to Home Automation as an add-on because other home objectives will then compete for the same budget (e.g. kitchen modules / bathroom fittings / jacuzzi / pool / consumer durables such as high-end TV).
§ Since home automation is still considered a luxury bid, the finish, look and feel of the product as well as the brand identity associated with the product is essential, rather than just the technological features or price value of the solution.
3.1.3 What Works and Why?
Let’s analyze how the Indian Home automation market is structured currently;
Figure no 6: Current brackets in home automation sale
Since the ticket size of each unit is quite high (relative to Indian purchasing standards), the focus is on the luxury aspects of the product offering (look, feel & finish, and the brand image).
3.1.4 Market Size & Potential – India + Global Trends:
Current Market
- The estimated home automation market size in India currently stands at $300 million and some of the features of today's industry offerings are
- Current Offerings Suite does not target the mass market: Automation products are not commonly developed, nor are they marketed or priced to meet the needs of the average Indian middle-class customer. It is still considered a high-end home niche add-on that currently targets only HNIs or Premium Villas / Apartments purchasers
- Home Automation design and implementation is still a professional & technical process and cannot be done by the user himself. Many modern Indian electricians will lack the information required to use controllers and the programming involved in protocol environment.
- Products with good specs and finishing are expensive: Some multinationals like Crestron have good solutions with excellent finishing and technical specifications but they are all priced outside the reach of most Indian consumers.
- Lower priced solutions look and build shabby: Some Indian startups and companies have some products in the tens of thousands of Rupees price points which, given their convincing value proposition, do not have a classy look and finish due to which they were not accepted by the consumer.
Growth in Automation Market in India
The next step for the home automation industry will be focused on a few key improvements in the technologies available in automation, such as improving Wireless Automation solutions as well as rising price points as the market continues to accept larger quantities of home automation use.
Some of the trends we anticipate for this sector phase are
- Major companies like Philips, Siemens & Schneider will eventually introduce mass-market automation devices with an appealing user interface, but at a lower price than they do today and more consumers will be able to afford the products.
- Offers of solutions will slowly move to a more user-friendly design where customers can buy and use automation products themselves, apart from a few key components, without any technical expert's assistance.
- Most foreign players will have a high-end automation niche and concentrate on the premium (> 20 Lakh ticket size) segment
3.1.5 Opportunities in Home Automation Industry in India:
- Home automation technology represents the next step of automation, focusing primarily on the residential sector, which has the second highest demand market after the hospitality industry.
