The smart home and home automation market in Brazil is experiencing significant growth. Projections suggest home automation levels could reach approximately 21.5% by 2026, with potential revenue increases exceeding 90% over a four-year period.

Data from the first half of 2026 indicates that sales of domestic automation products increased by 37% compared to the previous year. Consumers are increasingly purchasing connected devices and programmable appliances to improve efficiency and convenience, a trend characterized by the desire to “sleep while your house works.” These automated products, such as robot vacuum cleaners, command average prices up to 15% higher than conventional models and now account for 22% of total revenue within their category.

However, this expansion introduces cybersecurity challenges. Many Internet of Things (IoT) devices lack robust operating systems or frequent security updates, leaving them vulnerable to attacks through default credentials or a lack of encryption. Experts suggest mitigation strategies such as network segmentation to protect sensitive data from compromised appliances.
