Report Description

The global smart lock market is anticipated to project robust growth in the forecast period due to the rising concern for security and safety, increasing standard of living and increasing penetration of smart phone and internet. Using smart connected technology is a prominent trend anticipated to affect new product launches throughout the projected period.

Smart locks are electromechanical devices that lock and unlock doors by receiving authorization instructions from an encrypted digital or mobile key. Smart locks enable users to enter their homes or provide others entry without the use of a traditional key. Instead, customers electronically check and mechanically unlock the door with their smartphone or other devices. Smart locks are a sort of home automation that is used to increase house security. Smart locks, as networked devices, can be thought of as an extension of the internet of things (IoT). Smart locks can also use mobile apps or websites to deliver a virtual key to third parties, allowing users to authorize access to third parties.

Companies are constantly more focused towards their R&D investment in order to capture the larger share of the market. For instance, Huawei has introduced the Smart Door Lock Pro, which features AI 3D face recognition. Huawei promises that the door will unlock in less than two seconds and that the device has only one false-positive result in a million. For further security, the smart lock is powered by HarmonyOS and employs a 3D deep-sensing camera from Huawei's top P50 Pro phone. It also includes TOPS, an AI processor, and an algorithm that dynamically learns to improve facial recognition over time.

Rising Concern for Security and Safety Will Fuel the Market Growth

The rising rate of crime and privacy intrusion has heightened people's and organizations’ concerns about protecting their assets and personal information. Smart door locks are more secure than traditional keys since mechanical key locks can readily be hacked into by outside forces. For example, Venezuela has the world's highest crime rate index of 84.36. Armed robberies, homicides, and kidnappings are all growing at a faster rate. In comparison to traditional security solutions such as mechanical locks and passwords, smart locks provide a more secure and long-term method of authenticating a person's identity. They provide leverage over traditional systems' limitations, such as losing or forgetting a key, or breaking a key, because smart locks rely on security procedures similar to those used in online banking. Smart locks have seen significant market adoption in order to provide uniform security using innovative technology.

Increasing Adoption of Connected Devices Will Fuel Market Growth

Wireless connectivity has been extended beyond smartphones and tablets to a wide range of consumer appliances and other electrical and electronic devices, allowing them to acquire and transmit data. The Internet of Things (IoT) facilitates the connection of people and devices over the Internet. Many smart appliances have undergone changes as a result of the growing popularity of IoT, which integrates digital and wireless technology. IoT is affecting many technology vendors. According to a USENIX Association report, there were around 83 million IoT devices in 16 million homes worldwide. In certain regions, the majority of houses now have at least one networked IoT device. These are some of the advantages that are driving smart lock adoption among End-Users.

Increasing Usage of Smart Locks in Government and Commercial Sector Will Fuel The Market Growth

Organizations in both the government and commercial sectors need to issue digital keys or pin numbers to employees for identification. Smart locks are enabled for scheduled entry and exit and automatically lock when the door is closed. Smart locks are seen to be the ideal replacement to traditional locks and security systems since they keep track of the flow of people in business facilities. To address public and company safety and security issues, the government and commercial sectors have begun to implement smart locks. Globally, the use of smart locks is expanding to maintain a secure and viable economy. Companies in the commercial sector have begun to apply upgraded technology in order to promote decreased liabilities, increased employee accountability, strengthened compliances, and increased efficiencies.

Increasing Penetration of Internet Will Fuel the Market Growth

The increasing global penetration of internet and smartphone devices encourages the use of smart locks. Furthermore, mobile data is becoming more affordable across the board. All regions of the world are seeing an increase in mobile internet users. Smart locks communicate with other devices over the internet. They may be watched and managed remotely via the internet using smartphones, tablets, or PCs. As of 2022, the internet was actively used by 69% of the world's population, or 4.9 billion people. According to trends, the number of internet users increases at a 4% annual rate, implying that approximately 196 million new individuals access the internet each year. This, in turn, drives the expansion of the smart lock market.
