(29 October 2026) – Following the release of the CEDIA UK 2026 Professional Smart Home Market Analysis report earlier this month, the newly formed CEDIA Research Department has launched its latest project: the UK Smart Home Recruitment and Salary Survey 2026.
Recruiting skilled workers remains the biggest business challenge for UK integrators, so CEDIA is conducting this report to provide valuable information for both job seekers and employers in the smart home space.
The 2026 UK Smart Home Recruitment and Salary Survey is the second edition of CEDIA’s research into recruitment and salaries across the UK smart home industry, following the inaugural survey in 2023.
The survey aims to gather insights into the current state of the smart home job market, including demand for specific job roles, most common salary ranges, and the top benefits and perks offered to employees in the industry.
“We are excited to launch our next research project in the UK,” comments Ryan Bardach, Director of Research at CEDIA. “Our aim is to equip the industry with practical insights that support stronger business decisions. Workforce development is central to CEDIA’s work, and the findings from this survey will help inform and advance those efforts.”
Participation is free, and the survey takes approximately 5–10 minutes to complete. UK smart home professionals are encouraged to contribute their insights. Take the survey here.
