How U.S. Tariffs Impact Smart Home Device Manufacturers and Demand for Devices
New U.S. tariffs on imported smart home devices—some reaching up to 46%—are putting pressure on manufacturers, particularly those relying on Chinese or Vietnamese assembly, to either absorb costs or pass them on to consumers. While consumer demand may soften due to rising prices, enterprise and property management sectors are expected to remain resilient, sustaining overall growth in the smart home market.
