Heat detection and Infrared sensors are widely used Sensor type in smart homes which further utilizes touch pad and voice command recognition as a primary source of input from the user.

Dataset:
There were a total of 7560 patent families (collapsed by INPADOC). The total number of patent publications considering all the family members were 8156.

In recent years, seeing the trend analysis, the use of voice assistant being the emerging and the most focus area of smart homes.

The global blockchain in smart homes market is garnering significant traction as it assures better security for IoT systems used in the smart home ecosystem with its decentralized nature. 

Heat detection and Infrared sensors are widely used Sensor type in smart homes which further utilizes touch pad and voice command recognition as a primary source of input from the user. 

The global smart home devices market (By volume) is predicted to grow a CAGR of 10% with more than 895 million devices shipped in 2021 to more than 1440 million devices in 2026 globally.

The global smart home devices market (By Revenue) size is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.9% from USD 78.44 billion in 2021 to USD 92.48 billion in 2022. At a CAGR of 17.5 %, the market is estimated to reach USD 176.10 billion in 2026. 

​

The fact that Smart homes is an upcoming and evolving field can be illustrated from its Portfolio Summary wherein it can be seen that majority of the Patent Applications are still in the “Pending” stage, i.e under examination in various jurisdictions while a relatively smaller chunk has been “Granted”.

Smart Homes – Legal Status

Patent Trend – Application Country

• China has been the most preferred jurisdiction for patent filing in the domain of smart homes followed by US and Korea stands third in the list. ​
• The domination of China in the domain might be due significant enhancement in R&D. 

Patent Trend – Application Year

• The year wise patenting activity indicates inconsistent filings with gradual overall increase throughout. ​
• Notably, in the last decade there has been increase in the R&D activity towards Smart Homes. ​

Please note that the trend for the year 2021 might not be complete as it may take 18 months for a patent application to be published. ​
