The growing adoption of smart devices is fuelling the global universal remote controls market. Universal remotes are designed to control multiple brands of one or more types of devices. Universal remote controls help operate consumer electronic devices, such as TVs, audio devices, lights, AC, gaming consoles and others. Generally, these devices are classified as low-end, mid-end and high-end universal remote controls. Low-end devices have the ability to control very few devices that are set by manufacturers. Mid-end and high-end devices allow users to program and set the number of devices to be controlled.
In May 1985, Phillips launched the first universal remote control device under the brand name Magnavox. In May 1987, the first programmable universal remote control was launched by CL 9, a start-up founded by Steve Wozniak. The market for has witnessed several developments in terms of technology. With continuous developments in technology, vendors are offering universal remote controls with Wi-Fi, LCD touchscreen and radio technology. Wi-Fi enabled universal remote controls are gaining momentum in the market. They enable users to bypass the cable provider to find what’s playing on TV through a Wi-Fi network. In addition, the updates of a TV program are displayed on the LCD screens of universal remote controls. LCD touchscreen devices have luminescent LCD screens that display "virtual buttons." Radio frequency universal remote controls use radio frequency waves to control the electronic devices that are blocked by obstacles such as walls or cabinets. Universal remote controls are programmed with macros that enable the programming of several commands in one button. For instance, with the help of macro-programming, the TV as well as the satellite dish can be turned on with a single button.
