Smart technologies are playing a pivotal role in shaping the electric switch industry. As smart homes gain traction, the demand for smart switches controllable through smartphones, voice assistants, and other IoT devices has surged. For instance, in January 2024, Legrand introduces Matter-enabled Wi-Fi smart switches, dimmers, and outlets from the radiant collection at CES 2024. These devices, compatible with major smart home platforms like Amazon Alexa, Google, Apple, and Samsung, enhance smart home control without needing additional apps or plugins.
These smart switches not only provide added convenience but also boast energy efficiency and security features, making them attractive to tech-savvy consumers. Furthermore, innovations such touch-sensitive panels, motion sensors, and remote-controlled systems are now becoming standard in contemporary homes, steering the market towards more advanced and interconnected solutions.
Energy efficiency and sustainability have become key focuses in the electric switch market. As consumers and businesses grow increasingly aware of their energy consumption and its environmental impact, the demand for energy-efficient switches has risen. These switches not only reduce electricity usage but also lower carbon footprints. Concurrently, governments and regulatory bodies are implementing stringent energy efficiency standards and promoting eco-friendly electrical products. This shift towards sustainability is encouraging manufacturers to develop switches that comply with regulatory requirements and appeal to environmentally conscious consumers.
