The global market for smart home devices is expected to grow 26.9% this year to 832.7 million shipments, reports IDC. Annual growth is predicted to continue at about 16.9% from 2019 to 2023 with 1.6 billion devices forecasted to ship in 2023."2018 was all about getting products into consumers' homes and both Amazon and Google excelled at this through low-cost smart speakers and multiple bundles across device categories," said Jitesh Ubrani research manager for IDC Mobile Device Trackers. "However, 2019 will be more about tying the various devices together to form a more cohesive experience and more importantly, layering in additional services."
While Amazon and Google will likely dominate the smart home market, Apple is expected to make gains. The company's move to expand services to non-Apple products may help the company entice users into their ecosystem. IDC also predicts Samsung will be another company to watch as its products extending into every category.
