Home automation has crossed from early-adopter category into mainstream consideration in Nepal's urban centers.
Industry data shows 40% YoY growth, with the steepest curve in mid-range price tiers (NPR 50,000–200,000 systems) — a clear signal that middle-class households are the engine of this growth.
Three categories dominate: smart lighting and switches, gate and curtain motors, and access control (fingerprint and RFID locks). Full whole-home systems are still rare.
What customers want most: simplicity. Apps that work offline. Devices that don't depend on cloud subscriptions. Reliable installation that doesn't require a tech specialist to maintain.
