Tom Kerber, Parks Associates research director, concluded that big-box retailers have taken note of the market’s trajectory. “I think that all of the big-box retailers that are not currently offering products are considering adding a smart-home section to stores prior to the Christmas season.”

The smart home, he said, “represents a new product category with huge growth potential.” Retailers, he said, “will certainly make smart home part of their holiday promotional material.”
