“Rising Adoption of Energy-Efficient and IoT-Enabled Wiring Devices”
- The global wiring device manufacturing market is witnessing a strong trend toward the adoption of energy-efficient and IoT-enabled wiring devices such as smart switches, sockets, and circuit breakers. These devices allow real-time energy monitoring and remote control, helping users reduce electricity consumption and costs
- For instance, products like the Legrand Smart Energy Socket provide users with detailed energy usage data via mobile apps, enabling more informed decisions to optimize energy use at home and in commercial buildings
- Integration with IoT platforms is enabling wiring devices to communicate with other smart home and building automation systems. This interoperability supports automated workflows such as turning off all connected devices when a building is unoccupied, improving energy savings and reducing carbon footprints
- Growing regulatory pressure worldwide to improve energy efficiency in buildings is accelerating the demand for smart wiring devices equipped with energy-saving features, such as load sensing and automated shutoff
- The demand for modular and easy-to-install wiring devices is increasing, driven by the rise in retrofitting older buildings with modern electrical systems that support smart technology without extensive reconstruction
- Industry leaders like ABB and Honeywell are investing in R&D to develop next-generation wiring devices with embedded sensors, IoT connectivity, and compatibility with major smart home ecosystems
- This trend of energy efficiency combined with IoT connectivity is expanding rapidly in commercial real estate, residential construction, and industrial facilities, driven by cost savings, sustainability goals, and consumer preferences for smart, connected environments.
