Smart-home technology affects users in Japan, China and South Korea differently

What do internet users in Asia-Pacific want in a smart home? Most agree that security is tops?but there’s room for much more education.

Internet users in Japan, China and South Korea had different ideas about how likely smart-home technology was to affect their lives?but they tended to have the same priorities within the realm of the smart home.

▲ Smart-Home Technologies that Internet Users in China, Japan and South Korea Find Most Appealing, by Category, Oct 2015 (% of respondents)

According to October 2015 research from GfK, three-quarters of internet users in China thought smart-home technology was the digital technology most lkely to have an effect on their lives, ahead of mobile payments, wearables and cloud computing. But in Japan, just 19% of internet users thought smart-home technology would be the most impactful?behind those same other options. Respondents in South Korea put smart-home technology relatively high, but believed 3-D printing would have a bigger effect on their lives.

But in all three countries, internet users were most likely to be interested in smart-home technologies that helped with security. In China, entertainment and connectivity devices were tied with security tech.

Health monitors were also relatively appealing, followed by smart appliances. Only in South Korea were energy and lighting applications more popular than other options.

The GfK polling suggests these figures may be preliminary however, as many internet users in all three markets reported little to no awareness of smart-home technology to date. As the technology evolves and consumers become more aware, they may get different ideas about the most useful applications of smart technology in their home lives.
