Research and Markets: Smart Grid HAN Strategy Report 2011: Technologies, Market Forecast and Leading Players

The HAN market, which began with a simple Wi-Fi router, is now emerging within the greater Smart Grid sector to serve the home with energy management and digital application solutions. The implications of the this scaling market, and its Home Energy Management (HEM) sub-market, for homeowners, utilities and Smart Grid vendors are profound, as utilities seek a means to implement demand-side management programs and Smart Grid players vie for early-stage positioning in what will become a $750 million market by 2015.

With the industry's competitive strategies continuing to evolve, the publisher expects market positioning and strategic alliances to be the main focus for the companies in the home energy and automation space. We predict vendors serving the HEM market to be locked in a competitive struggle over the coming years, with a massive industry shakeout inevitable. Further, research identifies the market's greatest opportunities in providing value-added services to utilities.

This industry-leading report offers forecasts for six HAN market sub-segments through 2015 and profiles more than 30 companies. In addition, the research examines the industry's key standards, competitive strategies, and emerging opportunities for leveraging home control technologies, as well as the utility business case for direct investment in the home.
