Impact of Covid-19 on the Middle East Smart Homes Market

The Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 had a decelerating effect on most industries across the Middle East. However, the Smart Homes Market did not witness any major impact of the crisis. The governments of different countries in the Middle East imposed stringent movement restrictions & lockdowns to curb the spread of this dreadful disease.

As a result, the market witnessed challenges like disruptions in the supply chain & lower production due to a shortage of laborers in the initial months. Additionally, since consumers cut short their expenses on non-essential items due to economic instability, the production & sales of smart home devices declined amidst the crisis.

However, stay-at-home limitations & lockdowns, on the other hand, gradually fueled the demand for smart home systems to bring more convenience & efficiency to homes. These devices enabled users to monitor their energy consumption & reduce utility bills.

Besides, the demand for smart devices like TV, video streaming sticks, & smart set-top boxes, among others, increased significantly. Moreover, people were able to avoid physical contact at doors, doorbells, lights, switches, etc., through voice controls in smart home devices.

Furthermore, the long-term effect of the Covid-19 and new sanitization & social distancing habits are anticipated to remain prevalent even with the gradually reducing cases. Hence, the market shall observe significant growth & create lucrative opportunities for the leading players in the coming years.
