The Middle East Smart Homes Market is projected to grow at a CAGR of around 24% during the forecast period, i.e., 2021-26. The growth of the market is driven primarily by the rapidly increasing concerns over home security entwined with rising customer awareness about various benefits of smart home devices, such as remote monitoring, improved safety, energy management & efficiency, video analytics & motion detection, customization, etc.
Of all countries, the UAE is projected to dominate the market with the largest share over the forecast years, most prominently due to the rapidly improving living standards of people and growing utilization of smart home solutions for greater convenience in line with luxury living.
