The Smart Home market Smart Appliances includes connected versions of all kinds of household appliances. This includes large appliances (fridges, washing machines, ovens etc.) as well as small appliances (microwaves, coffee machines, vacuum and mowing robots etc.), provided they are connected to the internet. An indirect connection via a local network is also possible, as long as the remote access and control of the respective appliances via the connection is given.

Large appliances such as fridges, washing machines, dish washers, ovens
Small appliances such as coffee machines, vacuum and mowing robots, microwaves

The segment Smart Appliances includes connected versions of all kinds of household appliances. In most cases, smart appliances are incremental innovations which add new features to existing products rather than creating totally new devices. The high amount of revenues are generated mainly by relatively high product prices. Many customers as a first step purchase lower-priced small appliances such as smart coffee machines or vacuum robots, whereas people who already own products from other segments are more likely to purchase large, higher-priced appliances like fridges. We expect devices to be adopted rather moderately in Europe and North America, but more quickly in Asia.
