The firm previously predicted there will be 300 million connected devices in Australian homes by 2021. The most important factor for consumers when purchasing an IoT device for the home, however, is ease of use, which includes being easy to set up and not requiring human monitoring. However, privacy and security concerns are impacting consumer decisions to purchase IoT devices. 41 percent of Australians are more concerned about cybersecurity than last year, Telsyte said, and 61 percent are concerned about their private information being exposed online.
Telstye notes smart speaker penetration grew from less than 10,000 smart speakers installed in Australian homes in 2016 to around 500,000 at present. Telsyte forecasts this number will grow to 37 by 2022 or 381 million Internet-connected devices nationally. Gartner had predicted that globally there would be 8.4 billion connected devices by the end of 2017, outnumbering the world's population. The COVID-19 pandemic has sparked a mini-boom in connected devices as Australians look to improve their ‘at-home’ lifestyle. Procell® provides a wide range of high performing professional batteries, from alkaline, lithium coin and high- powered Lithium.
INCREASING SAFETY AND RELIABILTY OF SMART SECURITY DEVICES
Among the current five million, around a quarter are considered ‘invested’ in smart home technology, with at least five different IoT@Home products already installed, including cameras, smart plugs, smart lighting and smart appliances. The most important factor for consumers purchasing IoT@Home products are that they are easy to use or “just work”. However, despite the potential growth of the IoT@Home market, challenges such as privacy and cyber security concerns are impacting consumer appetite. Some 41 per cent of Australians are “more concerned about cybersecurity than last year” and 61 per cent are concerned about their private information being exposed online, up 5 per cent from the previous year.
The Telsyte Australian IoT@Home Market Study 2018 revealed that the average Australian household now has 17.1 connected devices in 2018, up from 13.7 in 2017. Telsyte said an “internet-connected device explosion” will drive this number to 37, or 381 million devices nationally, by 2022. “The smart speaker category was the fastest growing IoT@Home product in 2017, with Google Home and Google Home mini being the market leaders driven by holiday season sales, free giveaways with Pixel 2 smartphones, and multipack offers,” the Telsyte report found. A study by Aruba has found Australian organisations are unsure of what to do with data collected from IoT-connected devices, despite a predicted 77 percent saturation rate by 2019. The Telsyte Australian IoT@Home Market Study 2018revealed that the average Australian household now has 17.1 connected devices in 2018, up from 13.7 in 2017. Telsyte said an "internet-connected device explosion" will drive this number to 37, or 381 million devices nationally, by 2022.
BERETTA TO SUPPLY NEW COMBAT SYSTEM FOR THE AUSTRALIAN DEFENCE FORCE
The Australian Internet of Things at home (IoT@Home) market grew 55 per cent in 2017, reaching $583 million, according to new research from technology analyst firm, Telsyte. And we haven’t even mentioned the potential workplace applications for smart glasses — seen by many as by far the largest market for the technology. Telsyte also said support services would be most important for sophisticated devices such as smart intercoms and smart locks and other smart sensor-based products such as smart water taps. The increase of more than 30% — from around four million households in 2017 — was primarily due to surging adoption of smart speakers.
This monumental growth effort has been spearheaded by the advent of the smart speaker, which was the fastest growing IoT@Home product in 2017. Google Home and Google Home mini established themselves as the market leaders driven by holiday season sales, free giveaways with Pixel 2 smartphones, and multipack offers. This surge in smart speaker sales is expected to lay the foundation for further demand in other IoT@Home products. And while concerns remained around privacy and security, Telsyte’s research showed there was a growing acceptance of smart speakers having access to different applications, devices and data sources, particularly amongst entertainment-related apps and security cameras. Telsyte also predicts smart speaker adoption to “lay the foundation” for consumer demand for other smart home devices. Comprising whitegoods, appliances and house and garden products, the sector’s uptake is being driven by manufacturers who are now incorporating connectivity into appliances as a standard feature, and making smart home tech more affordable as a result.
Smart speakers drive IoT@Home adoption
The research also found that among people looking to spend to make their home smarter, more than 40% of their budget is set to be spent on improving energy efficiency or making the home safer.

More consumers are now interested in enhancing their kitchen with smart speakers and smart appliances. Telsyte research indicates the IoT boom @ Home will be evolutionary at first as vendors will quickly move to integrate connectivity into existing products and services including whitegoods, gardening, security and energy management. “While smart home devices have experienced significant growth in the past few years, one of the concerns with the battery powered devices, is that frequent battery changes are required. At Procell, we work closely with manufacturers to design device-specific batteries for smart home devices that will appeal to the end-customer,” Jane Lo, Duracell Asia B2B Senior Director said. Energy-saving devices meanwhile such as smart batteries have helped make the smart energy segment worth more than one-third of the total IoT@Home market by revenue.
The ‘Internet of things at home’ market includes any ‘smart’ devices which use sensors, software, electronics and connectivity to allow for increased performance by sharing information with a range of other connected devices. Further growth will come from the commerce market, whereby consumers purchase goods via their smart speakers. Although in its infancy, Telsyte claimed the market will become mainstream within the next 10 years. Smart speakers currently - and will continue to - command the majority IoT@Home market, the report said. More than 2.5 million, or a quarter of Australian households, will be using smart speakers by end of the year, a rise of 1.6 million in 2018. And at the end of 2018, the average Australian household had 17 connected devices, primarily made up of smartphones, computers, tablets and other gadgets.
Technology analyst firm Telsyte has today released some interesting data revealing the rise of an emerging market referred to as the “Australian IoT@Home”, which has grown a whopping 55 per cent over the course of 2017. Additionally, IoT@Home services will form a growth area with currently a third Australians “interested” monthly subscriptions such as home security monitoring and energy monitoring and optimisation services, the report said. Telsyte estimates around half a million Australian households currently own a smart speaker, up from less than 10,000 in 2016. I’d suggest that this is really doing smart glasses an injustice and barely scratching the surface of their real potential, although there have been many suggestions that this potential lies in the workplace not the consumer market. He has worked as a journalist in all forms of media – newspapers/magazines, radio, television, press agency and now, online – including with the Canberra Times, The Examiner , the ABC and AAP-Reuters.
Smart speakers, which fall into the latter category, are particularly seeing a sales boom; half a million Australian households own a smart speaker, up from less than 10,000 in 2016, and the firm estimates this figure to hit 3 million by 2022. Telsyte believes the smart lifestyle sector – which consists of whitegoods, appliances and house and garden products – will be the largest sector by 2022, as manufacturers bring to market products that have internet connectivity as a standard feature. With the adoption of smart speakers paving the way for the connected lifestyle, Telsyte anticipates the smart lifestyle products will be the largest sector by 2022. SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – The Internet of Things at home (IoT @ Home) market is set to skyrocket as it climbs a technology adoption s-curve much like the Internet and smartphones did before it, according to a new study by emerging technology analyst firm Telsyte.
Research shows smart speaker users are twice as likely to purchase other products compared to non-users. However, despite the potential growth of the market, hurdles such as privacy and cyber security concerns are impacting consumer appetite. Some 41% of Australians are “more concerned about cybersecurity than last year” and 61% are concerned about their private information being exposed online. The Australian Internet of Things at home () market grew 55% in 2017, reaching $583 million according to new research from technology analyst firm Telsyte. “We listened to the market and heard that businesses were looking for alternatives to the never-ending cycle of purchase-use-dispose-repeat when it comes to batteries. From a consumer’s perspective, replacing batteries is often inconvenient and reliability in home security devices is key.” Jane Lo, Duracell Asia B2B Senior Director said.
Australia’s Internet of Things at home market grew 55 percent in 2017 to reach AU$583 million, according to Telsyte, driven by a rapid uptake of smart speakers and increasing internet connectivity for appliances such as air conditioners and security cameras. Australia's Internet of Things at home market grew 55 percent in 2017 to reach AU$583 million, according to Telsyte, driven by a rapid uptake of smart speakers and increasing internet connectivity for appliances such as air conditioners and security cameras. “Building connectivity into consumer products will allow manufacturers to develop new business models and provide intelligent services that not only change consumers’ lifestyles, but disrupt a number of traditional industries”. Growth is expected to be seen in the categories of smart energy, smart security, smart lifestyle, and smart hub devices.
