Rising Energy Costs and Demand for Efficiency in Residential Living
Australia has experienced sustained increases in residential electricity prices over the past decade, prompting homeowners to seek ways to manage and reduce consumption. Home automation systems have gained popularity as effective tools for controlling lighting, heating, cooling, and appliance use. These systems provide real-time energy data, enabling users to make informed decisions about power usage and avoid peak-rate periods. The integration of smart thermostats, lighting controls, and appliance scheduling into daily household routines is becoming more common, especially in metro regions such as Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane. Consumers are also showing a preference for devices that work seamlessly across ecosystems—such as those compatible with Google Home, Amazon Alexa, or Apple HomeKit—allowing broader and more intuitive control. On February 18, 2025, Schneider Electric released the third edition of its Home & Distribution Consumer Survey, revealing that while 87% of Australian homeowners rank energy efficiency as their top home improvement priority, 60% remain hesitant to adopt smart home technologies due to high upfront costs. The survey highlighted a gap between environmental intent and actual action, with only 28% planning to switch to renewable energy sources and 53% expressing reluctance to use AI for household tasks. Despite this, younger Australians are showing more willingness to invest, spending 30% above the national average on energy-efficient upgrades. As energy efficiency becomes a higher priority, particularly with the shift toward time-of-use tariffs and solar integration, automation offers both convenience and cost mitigation. This is a major factor driving Australia home automation market growth, particularly among homeowners investing in solar-plus-storage systems and smart metering. As energy retailers and hardware providers collaborate to deliver bundled services, more Australians are adopting home automation as a standard feature of modern living.
Increased Penetration of Smart Devices and Broadband Connectivity
The widespread availability of high-speed internet and falling prices for connected devices have accelerated smart technology adoption across Australian households. With over 90% of homes now connected to broadband, and growing 5G network coverage, consumers are better positioned to install and operate connected home systems. The average Australian household owns multiple smart devices—from TVs and voice assistants to connected security cameras and lighting systems. As digital literacy improves and integration becomes easier through app-based platforms, even older demographics are embracing smart home products. On February 29, 2024, Samsung Electronics Australia released its Australians@Home in 2029 report, revealing that nearly 50% of Australians are open to AI transforming their homes in the next five years. The report, developed with futurist Steve Sammartino, outlined five trends set to reshape Australian living: Ambient AI ecosystems, Rolling Lounge Rooms, Soft Robotics, AI-powered Energy Management, and Transparent TVs. It also highlighted that 63% of Australians plan to buy smart home devices in 2024, with Gen Z and Millennials leading adoption. Retailers are responding by expanding product ranges and offering flexible installation services, including do-it-yourself kits and professional smart home packages. In addition, cloud storage, remote monitoring, and mobile alerts have made home security automation more appealing, particularly in suburban and semi-rural areas. The ability to monitor homes remotely, automate lights or locks, and control appliances from smartphones adds a level of convenience and safety that is increasingly considered essential. Growing consumer awareness, combined with affordable device pricing, is contributing to greater product penetration across both new constructions and retrofitted homes.
