Research and Markets: Smartphone Applications - A Major Threat to In-Home Displays

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/6dd21c/smartphone_applica) has announced the addition of GlobalData 's new report "Smartphone Applications - A Major Threat to In-Home Displays" to their offering.

Smartphone Applications - A Major Threat to In-Home Displays provides an analysis on the threat posed by the energy management applications of smart phones to the market for In-Home Displays. Smartphone applications are emerging as a potential threat to In-Home Display units (IHDs). IHDs are deployed at the consumer premises to give information on energy consumption, real-time electricity prices and the consumer's electricity bill. The information provided by IHDs enables consumers to monitor their energy consumption.

A smartphone with an energy management applications installed on it can also be used as an interface to provide the information needed to monitor and control energy consumption. Smartphones and the applications required for energy management are more economical than IHDs, are widely available in the market and avoid the need to install a separate device to keep track of electricity consumption data. These factors, along with the preference for smartphone applications, are acting as major barriers for the penetration of IHDs globally and are likely to hamper the market for IHDs.
