Smart Speaker Market Forecast to 2025
To know about the assumptions considered for the study, Request for Free Sample Report
A smart speaker performs operations such as browsing the web, streaming music, and purchasing groceries. There is an increase in demand for Al-enabled smart speakers in smart home and smart office applications. However, smart speakers face challenges regarding connectivity range, compatibility, and power. The increasing need to enhance consumer convenience fuels the demand for smart speakers, especially in the smart home application.
Smart speakers offer interactive actions and hands-free activation with the help of one or several keywords. They have features that can connect to multiple smart devices while enhancing the ease of use and provide additional functionality compared with traditional speakers. Technological advancements in artificial intelligence (Al) and the Internet of Things (IOT) have led to the emergence of numerous firms in the smart speaker market. Players such as Alphabet (US), Amazon (US), and Xiaomi (China) offer smart speakers with an IVA platform.
Each smart speaker's skills, features, and compatibility vary with the brand. For example, Amazon Alexa has more features, skills, compatible products, compatible apps, and services than Google Home. Alexa supports more than 15,000 skills and various services, such as Spotify, Pandora, Amazon Music, iHeart Radio, Tuneln, SiriusXM, and Uber. Additionally, users can order groceries from Amazon by voice commands. Smart homeowners find smart speakers helpful, fun to use, and valuable addition to smart home devices. Smart homeowners who already have multiple smart devices are adding smart speakers to manage and control devices.
Smart Speaker Market Dynamics:
Driver: Increasing number of smart homes
The continuous need for convenient and comfortable lifestyles among homeowners has led to the rapid development of connected solutions in smart homes. The number of smart products introduced in the market has gradually increased since 2012. The ability to control home products with an Internet connection and a mobile device is shifting consumers' focus toward smart products. The growth of smart devices in smart homes can be attributed to the advancements in IOT; growing need for security, safety, and convenience; and the increasing demand for energy-saving products and solutions. Smart speakers allow consumers to control connected devices in their homes with their speech remotely. Owing to this, smart speakers, acting as a smart home hub, are the most significant and preferred devices in smart homes. The built-in smart home hub makes it easy to connect with smart devices and perform operations such as controlling lights, playing music, and browsing information on the Internet. Its wireless connectivity with mobile devices provides convenience to users. Smart speakers also consume lesser space than traditional home theatres. Owing to these advantages, people in both technologically advanced and advancing regions are rapidly moving from traditional speakers to smart speakers. The growth of smart home devices is expected to propel the growth of virtual assistant-enabled smart speakers in the coming years.
Restraint: Issues related to connectivity range, compatibility, and power
The major factor hindering the growth of this market is connectivity and app-related issues. Smart speaker usage is limited to the availability of Internet connectivity. Users must always connect to the Internet to connect with smart speakers to control apps. Additionally, smart
speakers are connected to sensors and other devices. Therefore, issues with sensor connectivity cause a disconnection between the app and the smart speaker. Users are supposed to place the smart speaker such that it receives signals from the router and can access/connect other smart devices at the same time.
Opportunity: Increasing consumer preference for technologically advanced products
With increasing consumer expenditure on smart devices that are portable, easy to use, and inbuilt with advanced technology, there has been a significant shift in consumer preference regarding the use of technology in daily lives. Moreover, consumer demand for multifunctional, fast, varied, and reliable solutions has pushed many speaker manufacturers to integrate voice assistance into speakers.
Connected devices and solutions have become prevalent among consumers owing to their user-friendliness. The emergence of smart speakers has enabled users to connect with online platforms and facilitated real-time communication on the go with increased comfort, convenience, safety, and security.
Challenge: High security risk
Voice assistant-enabled smart speakers are becoming increasingly prevalent in smart homes with integrated personal data of users. One of the major concerns of smart speaker users is the unintentional activation of smart speakers through voice commands embedded in websites or TV advertisements. Most smart speakers could also connect with any local network and with any device in the same network, thus changing the settings of the smart speaker or performing a factory reset without the user's permission. A secure local network and a strong account password are essential to overcome such risks. Smart speakers are also linked to other smart devices, including smartphones, smart locks, TVs, and radios, which are accessible to other people. Some smart speakers can also conduct voice purchases, which means another person can also use assistance to order goods online. Further, if a smart speaker is linked to the Amazon Prime account, it can be enabled with one-click order. Hence, users need to secure the settings and monitor notifications.
Smart Speaker Market Segment Insights:
