  • The last decade has experienced the emergence of a large number of small and medium sized players in the global home automation & controls market. Most of these players focus on selected few product segments such as lighting control or security control only. For instance, Lutron (U.S.) and Acuity Brands (U.S.) deal with only lighting control products, that too, mainly, in the U.S. Similarly, Tyco (U.S.) holds expertise in security and access control product segments only. On the other hand, companies such as ABB (Switzerland), Legrand (France), and Zumtobel (Austria) have considerable presence in the European lighting control market. Likewise, there are a few companies such as Honeywell (U.S.), Schneider Electric (France), and Siemens (Germany), whose product portfolios extend across all the segments of home automation & control. Out of these, Siemens, currently, dominates the global market of home automation & controls by offering products in all the segments such as lighting control, security control, access control, and HVAC control— across all the major geographies.

  • Traditionally, Europe and North America have dominated the home automation & controls market due to stricter government regulations for energy conservation in these regions, and also due to the high standards of living of the people. However, the Asian region lags far behind its counterparts as far as the implementation of home automation & control systems is concerned. One of the key factors responsible for it is the perception of high cost associated with automation products. Last year, the California Energy Commission unveiled the 2013 energy efficiency standards for buildings, both, residential and non-residential. These standards are certainly expected to reduce energy consumptions over the next few years. Along with the release of standards, the commission also gave an estimate of the amount of energy costs that can be reduced by building energy efficient homes. Such a ‘projection of savings’ is a vital information that needs to be provided to building owners in the Asian region to improve their awareness about energy efficiency.

Based on its solubility, these can be divided into two parts namely: Dyes and Pigments. The colorants impart color to the substance by reflecting light of a particular wavelength. The shade of a color thus depends on the amount of light reflected / scattered. Hence, a substance that reflects more light appears to be darker. However, in case of pigments, the light scattering also depends on the particle size and refractive index of pigments and its binders.
