DUBLIN --(Business Wire)--

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/8clgc4/smart_bulbs) has announced the addition of the "Smart Bulbs: Reaching Towards Mainstream. Global Market for Smart Light Bulbs to 2019" report to their offering.

The report is an analysis of the global market for smart light bulbs. Smart bulbs are LED-based bulbs with built-in wireless connectivity and are controlled via dedicated smartphone/tablet apps. For many households around the world, smart bulbs will be an introduction to the 'Internet of Things.'

Companies discussed include Philips, Belkin, Google (News - Alert), Samsung, Insteon and others. The report provides market readiness scores and recommendations.

The market for bulbs is going through change on several fronts as environmental factors and the early growth of the Internet of Things intersect creating a market for conneted bulbs. The bill of materials are coming down at the same time as advanced home networks are going up. These are still niche, early-adapter products, but the author believes that 2015 will be the year when smart bulbs go maintream as prices fall and consumer awareness grows. We are particularly encouraged by the retailer push for the 2014 holiday sales season. Key retail chains in the U.S. such as Best Buy, Home Depot, and Target (News - Alert) are dedicating valuable holiday floor space to connected home products with bulbs at forefront.
