Parks Associates has published the results of its consumer research project Connected Consumer in Europe, which surveyed broadband households in the UK, Germany, Spain, and France to track adoption and future purchase plans of IoT, smart home, and connected entertainment solutions. The project found that approximately 9 per cent of these Western European broadband households own at least one smart home device and 57 per cent own at least one Internet-connected CE device.

Regarding future purchases, 33 per cent of these broadband households plan to purchase a smart home device in the next 12 months.”
