South Korea smart home market is projected to surpass US$ 10.7 Billion by 2027. Smart home is a system that allows home owner to control and monitor different devices in home including the heating, lighting, security, and entertainment, automatically and sometimes remotely via the Internet. In South Korea, household penetration for smart home applications is estimated at around 30% in 2020. 

The Korean government is updating its national smart home standards to prepare for the era of the Internet of Things (IoT). The major Korean electronics manufacturers are also working actively on the IoT and smart homes. In 2017, South Korea launched an alliance of leading information and communication technology and construction firms to nurture the smart home industry. The alliance is supposed to exchange related technologies for the building of smart homes, develop big data-based smart services, standardize regulations and launch marketing activities for the expansion of this business field.

The growth of Smart home market is attributed to factors such as significantly growing IoT market, cost reduction measures enabled by home automation systems, large number of manufacturers expanding their product portfolios, and increasing importance of home monitoring from remote locations. With the increasing demand of smart home devices, security and privacy breach is also increasing. The issues pertaining to privacy and security breach are restraining the growth of the smart home market.

The number is still growing, and the duration of the pandemic is still difficult to predict. The home automation market has developed at a rapid rate in recent years, a trend which has been partially accelerated by COVID-19 and the fact that people have been forced to spend more time in their homes due to lockdown measures. The burden of household chores has increased during COVID-19, and smart appliances that help people save time will benefit.
