Smart homes are residences equipped with internet-connected devices that allow for remote management and automation of systems and appliances.
Now, AI and Gen Al are pushing convenience, efficiency, and personalization to another level in the smart home market. What these advanced technologies bring to the next level are smart devices; they are capable of learning from user behaviors and adapting to user preferences to reach an accuracy never seen before in the prediction of needs.
House managing automation, energy consumption optimization, safety measure enhancing—all AI-driven. Gen Al works on the development of more intuitive and interactive user experiences. Further down the line of development, one continues in the same vein: Al's inclusion in smart home ecosystems is going to bring in an overhaul experience for everyday living at home—smarter, safer, and more responsive to the unique requirements of its occupants.
Increasing number of internet users and growing adoption of smart devices
The IoT has gained much attention among residential consumers, given the advantages attained by connecting household products to the internet. Connecting products, software algorithms, and services with end users, and providing them with flowability, the IoT facilitates data smoothly, aiding in real-time decisions. It has shown its efficiency and enhanced the quality and consistency of the automation systems. That is why scale companies across the world are putting huge investments in the loT industry. It appears that traditional practices of most businesses are trending toward loT; hence, it would reach huge numbers of application areas, such as lighting, HVAC, security, healthcare, and entertainment.

That is to say, the consumer shift towards video doorbells, voice-assisted technologies such as Alexa and Google Home, and surveillance systems is expected to drive the smart home market. On the other hand, growth in consumer loT adoption is driven by the increasing penetration of the internet, growing usage of smartphones, and expansion of social network platforms. The growing internet users across the world are likely to increase the growth of the overall loT market, as there is a rise in the adoption rate of internet-enabled smart devices such as radio frequency identification, barcode scanners, and mobile computers.

Favorable government regulations to promote green buildings
A green building is a structure that uses environmentally responsible and resource-efficient processes in order to reduce negative impacts on human health and the environment, which goes all the way from siting through design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and demolition of a building's lifecycle. Significant methods of developing sustainable buildings incorporate specifications for:
Local green building materials, reduction of loads, system optimization, and on-site renewable energy generation are some of the strategies. Buildings use up to 40% of total energy while GHG emissions are 30% of the global source of these gases, according to the United Nations Environment Program. For instance, in Hong Kong, building GHG emissions are nearly 70%. These facts demonstrate that sustainable development of buildings would massively help decrease the quantum of GHG emissions coming out from the construction industry into the atmosphere.
Basically, any green building design balances homebuilding with a sustainable environment. Due to the reduction in the consumption of energy and proliferation of environmental wastes, the concept of green buildings has been supported by various initiatives across the globe. Although the number of new buildings is increasing yearly in Asia due to rapid urbanization, the low electricity prices of some Asian countries often do not encourage energy-saving practices in buildings. Under such circumstances, it is often the government that initiates building energy regulations to promote building energy efficiency.
Building energy efficiency standards can be either mandatory or voluntary based on the country. For instance, countries such as Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Vietnam have mixed standards-that is, both mandatory and voluntary-while Singapore and Thailand have opted for mandatory regulations for energy conservation in their building energy performance requirements.
The smart kitchen segment is expected to register a growth of 11.7% in the CAGR. This increase in segment is attributed to the increase in demand from consumers for convenience and efficiency that drives the adoption of smart appliances, making cooking and kitchen management easier
