techUK, in partnership with GfK, is delighted to release the seventh edition of our annual State of the Connected Home report, which surveys a nationally representative sample of 1,000 adults across the UK to ask about their awareness, interest, and ownership of a range of connected or ‘smart’ home products. The full report can be accessed at https://www.techuk.org/resource/state-of-the-connected-home-2023.html In this episode, our Head of Market Access & Consumer Technology Lewis Walmesley-Browne talks through the findings of the 2023 edition of the report with Trevor Godman from GfK who led the research. The 2023 edition of our report finds the UK connected home market to be performing robustly despite challenging macro-economic headwinds and low consumer confidence. We include for the first time some specific questions around the current cost of living crisis and the increasing cost of energy bills to understand how consumers perceive connected home devices in relation to energy saving.
