Presently, only two of the key players in the market offer smart room heaters with Wi-Fi connectivity: Jarden Consumer Solutions and Crane USA. We expect this number to grow considerably over the next five years as more consumers incorporate home automation technologies.The global room heater market in general faces high competition from centralized heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems and room air conditioners that also have the space heating feature. Portable air conditioner products that offer space heating options also compete with portable room heaters. An example is Royal Sovereign's Multi-Season Air Comfort System - ARP-51400HA with Wi-Fi Control.Smart thermostat offerings in the market like those of Nest, tado°, and Evohome allow users to monitor and control the entire home heating system from one point.The growing use of these, therefore, poses considerable barriers to the growth of independent smart room heaters.
