As an emerging category in recent years, smart homes have received great attention from the market in recent years, and the growth rate of the entire industry in the past two years is also quite obvious. In January, the well-known market research company IDC released a forecast for the Chinese smart home market in 2021. IDC believes that in 2021, the growth rate of smart home appliances will exceed 30%, and the growth rate of smart lighting will exceed 90%. Moreover, they predict that by 2022, 85% of devices will be connected to the Internet platform, and 15% of devices will be connected to the Internet of Things. So, with the help of new technologies such as 5G and AIoT, what breakthroughs will smart home have in the next 2021?
5G blessing, unification of the bottom of the ecological platform
Although the current smart home has a relatively high degree of popularity, a great problem is the inconsistency of standards. Including a variety of protocols such as ZigBee, Bluetooth, WiFi, and the different ecology between different brands, resulting in the current status of smart homes are relatively fragmented.
With the popularization of 5G technology, it may be expected to change this status quo. In IDC's forecast, it is mentioned that by 2022, 85% of the devices will be able to access the Internet platform. Supporting this data is the all-round development of the basic network. With the characteristics of 5G high bandwidth and low latency, smart home devices can change the current terminal-gateway-control system structure. Each terminal is directly connected to the cloud, thereby solving the agreement barriers between different brands. Users can according to their own needs. , To build the whole house smarter more freely.
Smart sensors are more popular, AI computing power becomes the key
At present, in the field of smart home, scene-based smart experiences rely more on various smart linkages preset by users. With the improvement of technology, AI technology will also enter the field of smart home more comprehensively. Various sensors, including vision sensors, will become a new growth point for smart homes. Home appliances will become smarter, and it will be possible to adjust the condition of various electrical appliances in the home according to changes in the environment.
At the same time, home interaction centers are also developing toward screens and large screens, including smart screens and smart speakers with screens becoming more and more home smart centers. At the same time, home furnishing equipment is also more linked with mobile terminals and vehicle-mounted equipment. Smart home has broken through the original concept of "home". Behind all of this, it relies on the comprehensively improved computing power. Under the action of 5G, cloud + edge computing will gradually become the norm for smart homes.
Real estate developers enter the game to seize the smart home pre-installation market
In addition to technology companies such as Xiaomi and Huawei, or traditional home appliance companies such as Midea and Hisense, we can see that more and more real estate developers have also begun to enter the field of smart home. Unlike these home appliances and technology companies creating smart ecology, real estate developers pay more attention to the field of smart home pre-installation.
Different from the after-installation model that users add on demand, real estate companies can use smart home as standard equipment, and realize a native smart home experience through pre-installation, which can achieve a purer smart experience.
And not only real estate developers, in this process, including custom home furnishings, integrated intelligent decoration, etc., to give users more choices. And began to build smart homes by users themselves, and experience the geek-like fun during the period, transforming them into enjoyment when staying in, and intelligentization has become a natural part of daily home.
Write at the end
After several years of development, smart homes have initially completed the education of the market, and more and more users have begun to accept such a lifestyle. At the same time, the overall development of 5G, edge computing, WiFi 6 and other technologies, as well as the increase in computing power, have also allowed smart homes to develop more perfect at the technical level, bringing users a more intelligent experience. The addition of more manufacturers can further promote the development of the entire smart home industry. Facing 2021, we may be able to say one sincerely: smart home, the future can be expected.
