Zigbee home automation market

ZigBee home automation is nothing but a control system which is used in automated homes which can automate various systems of home which include entertainment system, lighting system, security system. ZigBee home automation system can monitor and control energy usage, HVAC systems of the home as well as health of an individual.There are various factors complementing the adoption of ZigBee home automation which includes, growing importance of home security and surveillance, increasing disposable income, awareness about energy efficiency, and others

The increasing adoption of home automation for smart home applications is one of the primary factors which is expected to drive growth of the global ZigBee home automation marke. ZigBee home automation is used in various smart home applications, which include entertainment, security and surveillance systems, smart energy/smart grid, AMR (Automatic Meter Reading), lighting controls, building automation system, HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) control, and others. The growing adoption of ZigBee home automation for safety and security purpose is one of the factors fueling growth of the global zibee home automation market. There are some market players, which offer safety and security solutions. For instance, HDL Automation company, which provides wired and wireless whole home automation products, offers ZigBee/Buspro Converter that supports ZigBee door lock device. Furthermore, adoption of smart homes in North America and Europe is expected to fuel growth of global ZigBee home automation market. Moreover, the increasing disposable incomes in Asia Pacific region are rising the standard of living of people and this is expected to drive the demand for smart homes. For instance, according to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), the per-capita net national income during 2019-20 was estimated to be US$ 1,839.92 Mn (Rs. 1,35,050), exhibiting a rise of 6.8 % compared to US$ 1,722.16 Mn (Rs. 1,26,406) during 2018-19 with the growth rate of 10.0 %.

Although home automation system makes operations of various home appliances convenient, the cost of full set up of the same is high. For instance, home automation systems consist of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, smart water meter,  centralized lighting systems, advanced kitchen appliances, entertainment devices such as audio video systems, and security & surveillance systems, which include door locks, alarms, smoke sensors, intrusion detection sensor, security cameras, and door & window sensors. Therefore, requirement of high initial investment for home automation is hampering the growth of the global ZigBee home automation market.

Global ZigBee Home Automation Market - Impact of Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic

COVID-19 has significantly disrupted almost all the industries including automotive, medical & healthcare, consumer electronics, clothing & textile, food & beverage, automation, manufacturing, aerospace & defense, oil & gas, construction, semiconductor, agriculture, and others. The global ZigBee home automation market was affected, as many key players in the market had to temporarily closedown in order to safeguard health of their employees. Furthermore, on the supply chain side, unavailability of raw materials for manufacturing of components due to complete lockdown is a major restraint for the growth of the market. Due to delay in supply of raw materials and components, the manufacturing companies were unable to deliver the products in the market. Therefore, global ZigBee home automation market is affected by the pandemic. As governments are opening up in phases in many countries, production is resuming, however, companies are still working with partial employees on the shop floor and remaining from home. Several ZigBee home automation companies witnessed decrease in sales of their products as the supply chain was disrupted by lockdown orders. The revenue of many market players such as Honeywell International, Inc., NXP Semiconductors, Renesas Electronics Corporation, and others decreased in 2020 as compared to 2019. For instance, in the period 2019 to 2020, revenue of Honeywell International, Inc. decreased by about 11.1%.

North America held dominant position in the global zigbee home automation market during the forecast period

Statistics:

North America held dominant position in the global zigbee home automation market in 2019, accounting for 37.3% share in terms of value, followed by Asia Pacific and Europe.

Asia Pacific region is expected to exhibit highest growth during the forecast period. The rising adoption of IoT, rapid urbanization, and increasing demand for wireless technology devices that consume less power are expected to drive the Asia Pacific market growth during the forecast period. In August 2020, Renesas Electronics Corporation, a Japan-based semiconductor manufacturing company, launched RYZ012 Module with Bluetooth Low Energy (LE), Bluetooth LE Mesh, and ZigBee. RYZ012 Module is specially developed for the internet of things (IoT) applications to reduce or mitigate these losses.

Single-Chip Solutions segment is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period

Among component, the single-chip solutions segment is expected to hold dominant position in the global zigbee home automation market during the forecast period. The increasing demand for smart home appliances and the internet of things (IoT) in order to reduce energy consumption is expected to drive the segment growth during the forecast period. In addition, in February 2016, Silicon Labs, a U.S.-based semiconductor manufacture company, launched wireless Gecko SoCs that are used to provide high performance and connectivity for IoT devices. Furthermore, several major players are focusing on launching products in order to strengthen their position in the global market. For instance, In February 2020, Silicon Laboratories launched EFR32MG22 (MG22) family, ultra-low-power ZigBee system-on-chip (SoC) devices. The device is specially developed for smart home sensors, lighting controls, and building and industrial automation.
