The technology has seen rampant growth and development, particularly over the last 12 months when many company's have launched products and systems relating to the connected and safe home market. According to the Intersec organisers, the market in the GCC has not only begun to realise the benefits in terms of comfort, security, and luxury, but also in terms of energy saving and increasing property value, and thus they predict that all these realisations will continue to lead to a booming market in the GCC.

Emphasis for this sector will be on various technologies such as KNX, X10, Zigbee, En-Ocean, Bluetooth and Z-wave.

According to a Kippreport the Middle East is approximately ten per cent of the expected Smart home market, which is expected to grow to more than $55.8 billion by 2020. Whether it is temperature, lighting, AV control, security or parking system, the modern home will be controlled by your fingertips.

Within this sector the global smart home market has an exhaustive product portfolio. The smart homes market has been segmented by product into energy management systems, HVAC control, entertainment control, security and access control. The energy management system is further segmented into smart devices and lighting control solutions. Different security and access control product solutions included are intrusion detection system, video surveillance, motion sensors, touch screen, and keypads.

Industry leaders like Schneider by Pelco, Fermax, Assa Abloy, Honeywell, Xtralis, CP Plus are already on board for the new concept and will showcase razor edge technology at Intersec 2016.
