The Connected Decade:

A Look at Consumer Demand for Interconnectivity over the Next 10 Years through Assurant's Research & Innovation Project

Assurant’s Connected Decade Study

Assurant's latest research explores consumer attitudes towards connected devices. In Australia, most households own an average of 6.7 connected devices and 68% of respondents agree that technology has a positive impact on lives.

 

Technology adoption is at a high level and respondents are keen to see more value-added services and tech support availability to move them from the considering phase to the buying stage.
