Dublin, Jan. 08, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Addressing the Smart Home Opportunity" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Smart homes are an area that has received a lot of attention from operators but has yet to deliver the looked-for returns. Digital players, particularly those with a smart speaker offer, have so far taken the majority of the market opportunity and dominate the current market.

In the future, the author believes that value-added smart home services (as opposed to standalone systems) will become the largest opportunity, and telcos need to act now to ensure they are optimally positioned at that time.

Inspirations

• A fast-growing market with lots of potential
• Currently dominated by digital players and smart speakers
• Relative lack of market success of telco-based offers to date

Issues

• Lack of customer willingness to pay for basic connectivity/storage
• Now, the agility of digital players provides a key advantage over telcos
• Equipment market to experience future price pressures

Implications

• Telcos should position strategically for a future service market
• Partnerships, innovation and value add are all key
• Commitment needed now, or agility of digital will trump telcos in the future
