What's the US smart home market really worth, and where's the growth coming from? In this episode of The Integration Conversation, host James Bliss sits down with Ryan Bardach, CEDIA's Director of Research, and Eric Voyer, Director at the Farnsworth Group, to break down the findings of CEDIA's newest US Professional Market Analysis. They dig into the eye-opening headline number (an estimated $33.8 billion market), why larger firms are capturing an outsized share of that revenue, and why 77% of integrators expect their business to grow in the next 12 months, even against a backdrop of inflation, tariffs, and economic uncertainty. The conversation also covers how AI is already reshaping day-to-day operations for integrators, why staffing has become the industry's top challenge, and what the data reveals about the gap between integrators and non-integrators installing smart home technology. Plus, a preview of the new housing data included in this year's report and why it matters for anyone making business decisions in this space. The full US Professional Market Analysis report drops September 16 and will be available on the CEDIA store.
