COVID-19 Impact on Middle East Smart Home Market

The GCC countries have reprioritised their investment in smart home devices because economic fallout has led to a more frugal approach towards spending. We expect that GCC countries see a greater focus on energy-saving devices eg- thermostats, switches etc. and entertainment devices. Economic uncertainty, constrained physical retail opportunities, installation limitations, disrupted manufacturing, and distribution have curbed consumer spending. But we believe that this spending shortfall is temporary.
