The increasing demand for smart homes is expected to drive the growth of the automatic environmental control market in the coming years. A smart home, also known as an interconnected residence or home automation, is a living space equipped with a variety of networked devices and systems that can be operated and monitored remotely. The primary goal of a smart home is to enhance convenience, safety, energy efficiency, and overall living comfort through technology and automation. Automatic environmental control plays a key role in improving indoor air quality, saving energy, enabling remote monitoring, and reducing carbon footprints. In smart homes, sensors and automation regulate the environment, optimizing energy use, minimizing waste, and reducing consumption. For instance, in June 2024, Samsung Electronics, a South Korea-based consumer electronics company, reported that 79% of individuals planning to move within the next five years are interested in smart homes. These individuals are willing to pay a 7.7% premium on the average UK house price, amounting to approximately £21,774 ($27,816). Therefore, the growing demand for smart homes is driving the automatic environmental control market.

Major companies in the automatic environmental control market are increasingly prioritizing technological advancements, such as automated building management platforms, to enhance operational efficiency while reducing energy consumption and minimizing environmental impact across various industries. Automated building management refers to the centralized use of technology to monitor and control building systems like HVAC, lighting, and security, optimizing efficiency and occupant comfort. For example, in January 2024, Honeywell International Inc., a US-based multinational corporation, launched its Advanced Control for Buildings platform. This automated system is designed to support energy efficiency and improve operational effectiveness. It includes built-in cybersecurity, faster network speeds, and utilizes existing wiring, reducing installation costs, time, and waste generation.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs have influenced the automatic environmental control market by increasing the cost of imported heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration equipment, particularly impacting regions such as North America and Europe that rely on Asian imports. The tariffs have led manufacturers to explore local sourcing and production to mitigate higher costs. Segments like commercial and industrial HVAC systems are more affected due to bulk imports, while residential units face moderate impact. Positively, tariffs are encouraging investment in domestic manufacturing and innovation in cost-effective, energy-efficient environmental control solutions.
