CE Pro's annual Brand Analysis study surveys the top 100 highest-revenue residential integration firms, otherwise known as the CE Pro 100, to determine their preferred brands in the categories of audio, video, home automation, networking, lighting control, security and more.
In this category-by-category breakdown, senior editor Bob Archer delivers an in-depth look at the most frequently used manufacturers in 55 product categories. The numbers associated with each manufacturer reflect the number of CE Pro 100 dealers using that brand.
Surging past Auton, Future Automation lands in the top spot by adding 24 dealers.
For the most part, the rest of the Lifts category looks similar to previous years with Nexus 21, Chief and Auton holding strong market presence.
