NEW YORK, Oct. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- As technology
continues to advance and optimize little parts of life, smart home
devices are continuing to gain popularity across homes in the
United States.
ValuePenguin surveyed more than 1,000 individuals and found that
smart home devices are increasingly common, and owning one seems to
have a correlation with being concerned about climate
change.
Key findings:
- Sixty-five percent of Americans have at least one smart home
device, and many purchased the smart technology because it's better
for the environment. The most popular smart home devices among
our respondents included speakers (31%), thermostats (24%) and
lighting (20%).
- Men embrace smart home technology at much higher rates than
women. Eighty-two percent of men have a smart home device
versus 49% of women. Also, 71% of men are considering purchasing
another smart home device in the next six months versus 34% of
women.
- There is a strong correlation between climate change concerns
and interest in smart home technology. Seventy-four percent of
those who are very concerned about climate change have a smart home
device versus 58% who are somewhat concerned and 42% who are not
that concerned.
- Northeast residents are most likely to have smart home
technology, while those in the Midwest are least likely.
Northeasterners also reported the most concern about climate
change.
