This led to decline in manufacturing of home automation as well as their demand in the market, thereby restraining the growth of the home automation market. Conversely, industries are gradually resuming their regular manufacturing and services. This is expected to lead to re-initiation of home automation companies at their full-scale capacities, which… help(ed) the home automation market to recover by mid of 2022.”
