In addition, growing disposable income and consumer awareness towards energy-efficient solutions have allowed homeowners to feel the cost-cutting effects of energy costs over long periods.
Homeowners are increasingly seeking solutions to improve comfort and convenience hence, an automated system that controls light and temperature with minimal effort is necessary. For instance, in August 2022, Hunter Douglas released an expanded library of control drivers, the PowerView Gen3 series into the most popular home control systems. This aimed at making installations of motorized shading effortlessly for the custom integrator market. The new drivers help maximize the possibilities of adding automated window treatments into projects. Thus, the residential segment will remain a leading driver of the trend, as sustainability concerns shape purchasing decisions, while innovations improve user experience and functionality.
Product type (Blinds, Shades, Shutters)
Shade is the major segment in automated shading systems market, based on product type, mainly as it provides flexibility, functionality, and aesthetic appeal to the market. The reason for the market propelling is the increased demand for energy efficiency and a greater focus on interior design. With consumers looking for products to give comfort and enhance their decor, automated shades help effectively control light and add flair to a variety of decors. For instance, in September 2024, PowerShades added smart lighting to its list of solutions, which includes flex RGBW strip lighting and down lighting. These lights are dimmable to 1% and respond very smoothly.
Other enhancements such as UV-resistant fabrics and smart control options have helped the cause of shades further increase the adoption rate. For instance, in May 2024, the battery-powered Lutron Triathlon Roman fabrication kit and guide is a modular system that can accommodate various fabric weights without degrading its battery life. At the touch of a button, it provides UV protection and seamless, whisper-quiet privacy. The automated shading systems market is expected to continue to evolve and have shade remain at the top of the industry as the need for stylish living solutions is surging.
