Restraint

High Cost of Smart Locks

Since smart locks are much more expensive than conventional locks, price is a major factor limiting the global smart lock market growth. Additionally, smart locks have significant switching costs, which dissuade consumers from investing in them.

Since many smart lock models run on electricity or batteries, a power outage can also affect their functionality and leave them vulnerable. Therefore, the smart lock market is limited by the high cost of products. A professional may be required to install the lock and connect it to Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, as smart locks can cost significantly more than traditional lock and key systems. When smart locks break, fixing them can be expensive.

Market Segmentation
