Carrier Global Corporation’s (CARR - Free Report) Carrier has been consistently expanding offerings from the Healthy Homes Program in China.

The company’s recent introduction of the Kidde MOON series of smart home devices in the country is a testament to the above-mentioned fact.

The new series consists of smoke detectors and gas, temperature, relative humidity, water leak as well as motion detectors. These devices together provide customers with a complete smart home experience.

With the latest launch, Carrier has expanded the overall product portfolio in China. This is likely to expand its customer base in the country and thereby generate revenues in the near term.

Smart Home Market Prospects in China

The Kidde MOON series launch is likely to help Carrier in penetrating the booming smart home market in the country.

According to a report by iResearch Consulting Group, the people of China more than doubled their usage of smart home Internet of Things (IoT)-based devices in 2020 than the previous year.

Further, a statista report revealed that revenues generated from the smart home market in the country are expected to touch $20.1 billion in 2021. It is anticipated to progress at a CAGR of 18.8% between 2021 and 2025, resulting in a forecast market volume of $40.1 billion by 2025.

The report also indicates that the number of active households in this market is likely to hit 122.5 million by 2025.

Further, the smart home market in China is expected to hit $48.2 billion by 2027, per a report by Research And Markets.

The abovementioned growth opportunities are attributed to the growing adoption of IoT-enabled devices, government support, increasing urbanization, rising awareness of smart home technology and greater importance of home monitoring from remote locations.

Expanding Portfolio of Solutions in China

Carrier’s growing portfolio of solutions is helping it expand its presence in China. The latest launch is a step forward in this direction.
