The smart home and residential integration industry continues to expand through major international exhibitions and market research in 2026.

In North America, the CEDIA Expo remains a central event, showcasing innovations in audio, video, lighting, security, and AI-powered technologies. The industry is seeing a significant shift toward interoperability through standards like Matter, Aliro, and Z-Wave. At the expo, eleven Z-Wave Alliance members—including Samsung/SmartThings, Johnson Controls, Ring, and Schlage—demonstrated products across the security, HVAC, shading, and automation sectors.

Industry leaders, such as Forge CEO Paul Miller, have noted an evolution toward a “total home” approach, incorporating energy management and artificial intelligence. Following acquisitions by Apollo Global Management, Miller confirmed the CEDIA Expo will return to Las Vegas next year.

Expanding its influence into Europe, CEDIA is scheduled to present its 2026 UK Professional Smart Home Market Analysis at an industry event in London on September 30. Held in partnership with Essential Installation, the presentation will feature research by CEDIA Director of Research Ryan Bardach regarding industry trends, business performance, and market opportunities. This session will also provide insights from the 2026 U.S. Professional Smart Home Market Analysis to assist professionals in making data-driven decisions.

In Egypt, the Smart Home Technology Expo 2026 featured over 250 companies, including EnTech, which demonstrated smart building and home automation solutions for real estate developers and designers.
