According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, global energy consumption is expected to be $48 trillion, which will account for 37% of the global GDP by 2035. This is because of an increase in the energy requirement per household. The governments of many countries are encouraging the use of smart plugs to reduce energy consumption. This is creating more awareness among consumers about appliances that consume more power. The government initiatives to reduce energy consumption are driving the growth of the smart plugs market.

Manufacturers are facing a challenge in convincing consumers to upgrade their plug sockets to smart plugs because of these factors. These products are targeted at the high-end consumer segment, which includes a small consumer base for smart plugs. The technology used in smart plugs is complex and requires in-depth R&D, which demands a significant amount of investment. In addition, for the effective use of smart plugs, smart grid technology needs to be deployed globally.
