Smart Speaker Market

The Global Smart Speaker Market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of more than 20% during the forecast period 2021-2027.

Constant growth in the number of smartphones and the rising adoption of smart devices are gaining traction owing to increasing consumer preference for technologically advanced products globally. Ease of use and integration of smart devices with other devices such as thermostats, smart lightbulbs, and TVs are further boosting the demand for smart technology. Hence, the rising interest of users towards technologically advanced products resulted in the growth of 91 million installed speakers in 2019, considering 2018 as the base year of calculation; with the same growth rate, companies are expecting a tremendous growth by the end of 2021—resulting from long stay at home and growth in work from home practice due to COVID-19. The pandemic has boosted the uptake of home-based, voice-controlled devices. In the US alone, the smart speaker-installed user base is now 87.7 million adults in 2020, up by ~33% from 2019.

The smart speaker market growth is attributed to various growth factors such as growth in penetration of IoT technologies across the world, rising demand of smart homes, increasing customer focus towards connected technologies, and growth of wireless infrastructure in large consumer base countries such as India and China. Whereas, the high cost of smart speakers and reported incidences of security threats due to connected devices will hamper the smooth growth of the smart speaker market.
