electronics and mobile communications partnered with Tovala. The partnership of
integrating Tovala IQ technology into LG smart ovens benefits both the
companies and the customers as the customers can scan the Tovala's food package

Cybersecurity paves risk to any
smart appliance market with hackers providing a way to operate the appliance to
cause harm to the user in any means. The smart microwave ovens can be set to
pre-heat or can be controlled for temperature adjustments remotely which means
a hacker can potentially cause harm to the user. In 2017, hackers could control
smart home appliances of LG including smart ovens of millions of customers due
to a security flaw in the smart home appliances. The vulnerability in the LG
Smart ThinQ mobile app and cloud application Home Hack allowed to control
user's smart appliances. LG in 2016 sold around 80 million smart home
appliances including smart ovens to customers all of which were effected by
security flaw. In 2019, June Oven, a smart oven of June was reported to
pre-heat by itself without the interference of the user overnight. The safety
issues arising due to cyber-attacks might hinder the market growth during the
forecast period.

of the meals being prepared. In 2019, Amazon launched Alexa smart oven with
Scan-to cook feature which is a combination of microwave, convection cooker,
air fryer, and food warmer which works well with many pre-packaged foods those
by Amazon-owned Whole Foods as well. Whirlpool introduced the first

takes guesswork out of cooking and results in perfection which is expected
boost the demand of smart microwave oven market.
