The market is experiencing growth due to increasing demand for convenient and secure access control solutions in both residential and commercial sectors. Smart locks provide advantages such as remote management, activity logs, and seamless integration with other smart home devices. The hospitality industry, in particular, is rapidly adopting smart locks to enhance guest experiences and streamline operations.

For instance, major hotel chains are implementing mobile key solutions that allow guests to bypass traditional check-in processes and access their rooms directly using their smartphones. Additionally, the rise of e-commerce and the growing need for secure package deliveries are driving demand for smart locks that can facilitate contactless deliveries. However, the market faces challenges such as cybersecurity concerns, the need for reliable power sources or long battery life, and the initial cost of implementation compared to traditional locks. Some consumers and businesses remain hesitant to fully replace traditional mechanical locks with digital alternatives due to concerns about technological failures or hacking risks. To address these concerns, manufacturers are investing in advanced encryption technologies and developing hybrid solutions that combine digital and mechanical locking mechanisms.

Smart Lock Market Key Developments

• In April 2024, Yale launched its first retrofit smart door lock, the $129.99 Yale Approach with Wi-Fi. The lock attaches only to the back of door, so people don’t have to replace your entire deadbolt to get access to smart features like auto-unlock and locking your door from your phone. The new lock includes all the smart lock features, including auto-unlocking, auto-locking, and one-touch locking (using the keypad). It can be controlled through the Yale Access app.
