CEDIA Expo presented a vision of a new, blended
market, bringing hope, support and opportunity
for a bright future for our industry as a whole.

AS THE WORLD RETURNS to a semblance
of normalcy following the pandemic years,
it is clear that our industry has been hit hard
by a lack of product availability. Even now,
as we begin to close out 2022, supply
shortages still plague manufacturers and
integrators. Integrators on both sides of
the industry - residential and commercial
- are scrambling to fi nd solutions to meet
client needs due to the lack of available
products and the need for consistent, accurate
and easily supported performance.
Integrators are fi nding they must be creative
with the products available to them,
regardless of the market in which that
product is typically found. A quick glance
through the exhibitor list from CEDIA Expo
2022 shows that many manufacturers off er
products viable in both the residential and
commercial markets.

are now seeking any product of
similar performance, whether that product
is usually deployed within the residential
or the commercial market. Since more
manufacturers are creating products that
can be viable in either market, there is a
growing interest among both residential
and commercial integrators to familiarize
themselves with manufacturers on both
sides of our industry.
Product availability isn't the only reason
for these blurred lines, however. Our
industry has also seen a signifi cant rise in
demand for projects and applications that

the increasing crossover between
commercial and residential.
can be considered both commercial and
residential; hence, the term " resimercial "
was born. In light of the growing popularity
of resimercial projects - think restaurants,
bars and small businesses - and the
technology needs of those who work from
home, commercial integrators are specifying
residential products and residential
integrators are specifying commercial
products.
This raises an interesting question: Is
there really that much diff erence between
