Off-The-Shelf Entertainment Systems Closing in on Installer System Counterparts

For those who are unfamiliar, the smart home entertainment market has traditionally been dominated by high-end installer systems but more recently, self-install, off-the-shelf smart home systems have bought a new wave of competition and smart home options to consumers. In a new report of smart home entertainment systems, ABI Research, a market foresight advisory firm providing strategic guidance on the most compelling transformative technologies, finds that off-the-shelf entertainment systems have the potential to be a significant threat to traditional installer system entertainment players.

 “Given the rate at which off-the-shelf entertainment systems are developing, as well as the significant backing from companies such as Amazon, Samsung, Comcast, and others, there is likely to be increasing fierce competition in the smart home entertainment system market over the coming years;” says Shiv Patel, Research Analyst at ABI Research.
