Global Connected Home Revenues to Reach $101Bn in 2013

Tuesday 8 January 2013, Amsterdam

In an increasingly saturated market place operators continually struggle to find new revenue streams. The connected home offers the potential for new revenue streams, as operators partnered with content providers and OEMs can capitalise on the unique opportunities offered by an emerging ecosystem of smart devices.

For operators the connected home can turn all households into high ARPU households. For content providers the connected home will provide a surge in demand for commercial content. Overall, the connected home’s interoperability allows content and services to be delivered to ultimately more end-points, thus increasing revenue opportunities for both content and service providers.

While the connected home comes in various guises, our research shows that many consumers are already utilising many smart devices and services for low-level smart home functionality. Building on a foundation of consumer interest, ecosystem members and new market entrants must act swiftly in order to stake a claim in a market which will be worth $101 bn in 2013.
