2019 smart home solution trend forecast

In the past 2018, smart speaker battles have come one after another, and connectivity solutions and whole-house system solutions have emerged in an endless stream. In 2019, what are the trends in system solutions, technologies, and chips that vendors are concerned about? Richerlink has put together some ideas, and in 2019, smart homes are still hot.
NB-IoT
As the core of the Internet of Things strategy of the three major operators in China, NB-IoT has gradually formed the world's largest industrial chain in China. To some extent, low-power wide-area networks have made IoT terminals and sensors a direct user service contact, bringing directly needed resources to operations, and have become an important factor in the development of the Internet of Things.
According to Machina Research's May 2015 report, the total number of terminals that have achieved network interconnection in the world in 2015 is 16 billion. By 2025, the number of M2M (Machine to Machine) connected devices will reach 30 billion.
In terms of market size, the research institute IDC said that the scale of the IoT market in 2015 is estimated to be US$698.6 billion, accounting for about 18% of the entire IT market; and by 2020, the Internet of Things market will reach US$1.7 trillion. It can be seen that the Internet of Things has a trillion-level market and huge development potential.
From the perspective of the industry chain, the entire NB-IoT industry chain can be roughly divided into five parts: chips, modules, terminals, operators, and vertical industries. The chip/module is located upstream of the industrial chain and is mainly controlled by large manufacturers. On the chip, NB-IoT chips are mainly produced by Huawei's Neul, Intel, MTK, ZTE, Datang, Spreadtrum and other major manufacturers. Because chip technology requires advanced technical support and long-term research and development, like Intel Large manufacturers of the class, SMEs simply can not compete.
In terms of modules, NB-IoT modules are also mainly produced by original 2G/3G/LTE module manufacturers, such as Ublox, Mobile Communications, Telit and other companies. Therefore, in the chip and module, NB-IoT has a high market concentration, mainly led by some large manufacturers. New players have no accumulation in technology and research and development, and it is difficult to develop in this field.
