Expert Predictions for HomeTech in 2025

The home tech landscape is evolving at a rapid pace, with new innovations set to dramatically change how we live.

From AI-driven smart homes to sustainable technologies that enhance energy efficiency, the next wave of home tech will focus on convenience, security and sustainability.

As voice assistants become more intuitive and immersive entertainment experiences take centre stage, the way we interact with our homes is going to be completely transformed.

We’ve spoken to a slew of experts in the world of home tech to get their predictions for the industry in 2025.

 

The Evolution of Smart Homes: AI, Automation and IoT Integration

 

The smart home industry is set to experience significant growth in 2025, driven by advancements in AI, automation and the Internet of Things (IoT). AI-powered devices are sure to become more intuitive, learning from user behaviours and adjusting settings to enhance convenience and energy efficiency.

Smart homes will see greater integration of devices, enabling seamless control through centralised platforms. Indeed, improvements in voice assistants, home security and climate control systems are expected.

Automation is going to make daily tasks such as adjusting lighting and controlling appliances, easier and more efficient than ever before. And, as more devices become interconnected, the ability to create personalised home environments will be more accessible, providing comfort, security and convenience at the touch of a button.

 

Sustainability and Security: How Green Tech and Smart Protection Are Shaping the Future

 

As the demand for sustainability grows, home tech in 2025 will focus heavily on eco-friendly innovations. Energy-efficient smart appliances, solar panels and green tech solutions will allow homeowners to reduce their carbon footprint while maintaining a comfortable living environment.

Smart energy systems will optimise electricity consumption by managing heating, lighting and appliances in real time, ensuring minimal waste.

Security technology will also continue to evolve, with AI-powered surveillance cameras, facial recognition systems and motion sensors becoming more sophisticated. These systems will not only protect homes from intruders but also provide peace of mind by continuously monitoring environmental factors like smoke, gas leaks, or water damage.

Ultimately, the combination of green tech and enhanced security will make homes safer and more environmentally responsible.

 

Voice Assistants, AR and the Transformation of Home Entertainment and Workspaces

 

Voice assistants are already a big thing, but they’re set to become even more integral to the home experience by 2025. These devices will go beyond basic commands, learning to understand context, emotion and intent to offer more personalised responses than ever before.

In home entertainment, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) will revolutionise how we interact with media, offering immersive experiences that blur the line between physical and digital worlds. AR will also enhance home design, allowing users to visualise changes to their interiors before committing.

The work-from-home revolution will also drive the adoption of tech that optimises home workspaces. Indeed, it seems pretty reasonable to expect advances in virtual collaboration tools, remote conferencing solutions and ergonomic devices designed for comfort and productivity. This interconnected and immersive technology will redefine how we live, work and relax going forward.

“I think 2025 will be the year when everyday items like car seats, chairs, tables, and even clothing start becoming smart tools for collecting data. This shift is happening because tracking technologies are becoming more affordable and advanced, and there’s a growing need for privacy in how data is collected. Unlike cameras and vision-based systems, these new solutions offer a more discreet and user-friendly way to gather information.”

 

Kirsty Lawson, CEO of Luminous UK 

 

 

“I predict that 2025 will be the year when breast familiarity will become part of more and more people’s daily wellness regime. Tools such as the Luminous Pro Series hand-held device will be vital to this. Luminous Pro Series is a brand new device which uses RED LED light technology to illuminate the tissue inside your breasts, giving you a better understanding and a visual reference of breast health and what’s happening on the inside and embracing an awareness lifestyle.

By making it as integral to our daily wellness routines as brushing our teeth, it will help empower people to understand what’s going on inside their breasts in order to help identify any changes and abnormalities early in order for effective treatment to be sought.

People are already starting to take a more holistic 360 degree approach to their health and wellbeing, and this is the final part of the jigsaw.”

Alex Dutton, Security Expert at Ultion 

 

 

“In 2025, home tech will increasingly prioritise security, responding to rising concerns around break-ins. Most burglars target homes with weak, outdated locks because they’re easy to break into but investing in a lock with advanced certifications like Star 3 PLUS and Sold Secure Diamond ratings will make all the difference. As holistic security becomes the norm, backdoors and secondary access points will no longer be overlooked.

Integration will be key: smart locks, cameras and alarms will work seamlessly through centralised apps, providing homeowners with comprehensive, real-time monitoring. Technologies like Ultion’s innovative locks will deter burglars before they attempt entry, emphasising prevention over response.”

 

Will Uttley, Managing Director at ProofVision

 

 

“Smart home products are now available for most rooms in the house and consumers are keen to upgrade their bathroom with smart tech solutions too, with an average of 8,000 UK Google searches per month for ‘bathroom TV’.

At ProofVision, we see the bathroom evolving into a space that incorporates advanced technology solutions that track our health and enhance our daily experience. The bathroom is quite a unique space in the house. It’s a place where you get some time on your own, a room you use every day, often for short periods of time, where you are busy dealing with routine activities, but your mind is free to wander to other thoughts.

At ProofVision, we aim to enhance daily living through innovative, waterproof, electrical technology solutions tailored for the bathroom. We are continually expanding our product range to meet the evolving needs of the future.”

 

Matthew Currington: Technical Director of The Lighting Superstore

 

 

“The first smart lighting systems required brand-specific apps or hubs, but today innovative systems have made integration and interoperability issues a thing of the past. AI is making smart homes highly intuitive, efficient and more user-focused than ever before.

“In 2025, we can expect lighting systems that predict and optimise schedules to match daily habits, minimise energy waste by responding to natural light levels, and enhance well-being and productivity by aligning with our circadian rhythms. With 3.4 million searches for integrated ‘smart homes’ in the past month alone, this is the future.”

“Consumers in 2025 will expect brands to go beyond functionality to foster meaningful relationships. From e-bikes to home electronics, it’s not just about delivering products but creating experiences that resonate emotionally. Brands that can achieve this will not only stand out but cultivate lasting loyalty.”
