Pure Architects segment (Hall 4.2),
which is celebrating its premiere
in 2018. The lifestyle-oriented
showcase at the interiors show is
closely modelled on the realities of
home living today. Many partners
and companies are collaborating
on the installation, which ties in
perfectly with the architecture-related
ranges such as lighting and
bathrooms that will be on show in
the Pure Architects hall. Partners
who have already confirmed their
participation include Rehau,
Häfele, Grohe, Biffar, Miele,
Atomé and Nolte.
On the threshold of the
mass market
Market researchers see the smart
home as being on the threshold
of penetrating the mass market.
The market volume forecasts vary
widely depending on the fields of
application analysed. But there
is agreement that dynamic and,
in some cases surging, growth of
between 10 and 50 per cent is to
be expected, depending on the
product area. The smart home
generally refers to the intelligent
networking of electrical appliances
in the home including building
services – heating, ventilation, air
conditioning, cooling and sanitary
installations – as well as communications
and security technology.
Consumers are currently most
interested in security and energy-saving
concepts. The smart
home can be controlled in the residence
itself via built-in interfaces
or on the go via a smartphone or
tablet for convenience. Self-learning
devices – devices that adapt to
their owners’ usage habits – will
increasingly dominate the market.
