United States. The National Association of Systems Contractors (NSCA) and the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) revealed the latest Commercial-Residential Smart Market Report, which examines opportunities, challenges and perspectives of integrators in both areas.Despite the challenges of the last two years, 54% of integrators have a more optimistic outlook in 2010 than in 2009. According to the report, the main audiences of commercial integrators are corporate facilities, restaurants, shopping centers and schools.
The report also notes that there is still a significant difference between commercial and residential integrators in revenue-generating applications. For example, Home Theater, automation and multi-hall systems are the main applications for those who are involved in the residential segment, while for commercial integrators the main applications are based on the different audio ranges (fixed installations, live sound) and A / V.
