The smart home market is rapidly evolving to include more products that are accessible to everyday consumers. Gone are the days when connected home products are only affordable to the luxury segment. That isn’t to say that luxury products don’t still account for a significant amount of the market but solutions such as Alexa from Amazon and Google Nest have familiarized the everyday consumer with the benefits of smart home products.  As a result, it comes as no surprise that a new report from Grand View Research estimates that the global smart home appliance market will double in size from 29.03 billion in 2022 to $58.51 billion by 2030. Within that global growth, the United States market is expected to grow at a healthy CAGR of 7.7 percent. Although this rate is slightly below the global average, there is still a significant opportunity for retailers to capitalize. One channel for success is eCommerce. As of 2022, 63.9 percent of sales in connected appliances occurred through offline c

That’s because, for big-ticket items such as TVs, appliances, or computers, consumers typically want to get hands-on with the produ

RCA Accessories today announced its plans to enter the over-the-counter (“OTC”) hearing aid market with an assortment of RCA OTC Hearing Aids scheduled for launch on May 8, 2023. In August 2022, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) issued a final rule to improve access to hearing aids which may in turn lower costs for millions of Americans. With this ruling, a new category of over-the-counter hearing aids was born, enabling consumers with perceived mild to moderate hearing impairment to purchase hearing aids directly from stores or online retailers without the need for a medical exam, prescription or a fitting adjustment by an audiologist. This new ruling is expected to assure the safety and effectiveness of OTC hearing aids, while fostering innovation and competition in the hearing aid technology marketplace. RCA OTC Hearing Aids meet all FDA requirements and are FDA compliant. According to the National Institute of Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, close to 30 m
