Market Trends of Smart Thermostat Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Smart Thermostat Market according to our research experts:
Increasing Demand for Energy-saving Devices
- As smart thermostats aid in saving electricity, owing to such characteristics, the demand for smart thermostats is expected to grow over time and has been influenced by the augmented demand for energy-efficient solutions.
- According to a study conducted by Nest Labs (a part of Google LLC), the company compared the energy bills of real people in 41 states before and after the installation of Nest Learning Thermostats. The study was conducted via two independent studies - from real Learning thermostats and real homes with real families.
- As per the result, on average, the Nest Learning Thermostat saved approximately 10% to 12% on heating and approximately 15% on cooling. Further, based on typical energy costs, the company estimated an average savings of approximately USD 131 to approximately USD 145 per year. That means the Nest Learning Thermostat paid for itself in under two years. Such positive results are expected to promote the adoption of smart thermostats in the market globally during the study period.
- According to the US EIA, the global energy demand will grow at 2.1 % per year to 2040 with the current stated policies scenario. The demand surge will raise the electricity share in 2040 to 24%.
- The use of technologies, changes in government policies, developing economies, and market conditions are driving the growth of low-carbon sources to maintain the environmental levels. Electricity consumption has a direct effect on the carbon footprint as electricity generation requires the burning of non-renewable resources and leads to a carbon footprint.
