With the rise of fast-paced lifestyles, consumers are increasingly turning to smart home environments where digital devices work seamlessly together to enhance comfort and control. The living room is transforming into a connected hub, combining smart TVs, voice assistants, and IoT-enabled lighting. Convenience plays a pivotal role in this shift, as the ability to control various devices such as TV, lights, thermostat, and curtains through a single voice command or smartphone app is highly attractive.
Automation extends beyond ease of use to deliver personalized experiences. Smart TVs recommend content based on user habits, while voice assistants such as Alexa and Google Assistant provide tailored responses by recognizing individual voices. According to the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) in India, the electronics market is projected to reach $300 billion by 2025-26, driven by government initiatives such as the PLI scheme and 'Make in India'. The digital economy's expected contribution of 13.42% to the national income by 2024–25 further supports the expansion of connected living room technologies.
The market faces significant challenges due to privacy concerns and a lack of transparency from manufacturers. A 2024 U.S. Federal Trade Commission report revealed that nearly 89% of smart products surveyed failed to disclose software update durations, exposing consumers to security threats and eroding trust. These concerns are amplified by incidents such as Apple’s $95 million settlement over Siri’s unauthorized recordings. While regulations such as the GDPR aim to address these issues in regions such as the European Union, enforcement gaps and complex opt-out procedures continue to hinder user control over personal data, especially in smart TVs using Automatic Content Recognition (ACR) technology.
In addition to privacy issues, the market is limited by unequal digital connectivity across regions. As of 2024, 68% of the global population is online, leaving around 2.6 billion people without internet access.

For instance, Apple’s AirPlay and Google’s Chromecast are at the forefront of this synchronization, enhancing convenience and user engagement, especially in households with multiple devices and users.
The rise of second-screen experiences further enhances the connected living room trend, as additional devices such as smartphones or tablets complement primary TV viewing. These second screens enable users to interact with supplementary content, such as social media feeds, trivia, or shopping options, while watching their favorite programs. The increasing screen time among U.S. teenagers, with 50.4% of those aged 12–17 reporting over 4 hours of daily screen time, reflects the growing trend of multi-screen usage.
Based on product type, smart TVs are projected to generate a share of more than 30% in 2025, driven by the increasing demand for integrated entertainment systems. The growth is further fueled by the rise of streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Disney+, which have led consumers to seek more connected and interactive viewing experiences. Additionally, advancements in AI-powered features and seamless connectivity with Internet of Things (IoT) devices are significantly contributing to the growing popularity of Smart TVs. According to a recent study, Smart TV household penetration has surpassed 54% globally, with over 1.1 billion households owning a smart TV. By 2026, it is projected that 5.63 billion people will have a connected TV in their homes.
On the other hand smart speakers & voice assistants are estimated to show decent growth in the forecast period due to rising consumer preference for hands-free control and seamless integration with other smart home devices.

As consumer demand for interoperability and ease of use grows, Bluetooth continues to play a crucial role in creating a unified and immersive digital ecosystem.
North America is predicted to experience a market share of 32.1% in 2025, finds Persistence Market Research. High-speed internet forms the foundation of connected living room ecosystem in North America. In the U.S., broadband internet subscription reached 94% of households in 2024, up from 85% in 2018, with smartphones being the most common computing device, followed by desktop or laptop computers and tablets. In Canada, rising internet penetration has facilitated the adoption of connected devices, transforming traditional living rooms into smart hubs featuring smart TVs, voice-activated assistants, and integrated entertainment systems.
Government support, including the U.S. General Services Administration’s $80 million investment in smart building technologies and Canada’s Strategic Innovation Fund, is further accelerating this adoption.
