Voice-Enabled Speaker Market Share [CHART]

Chart: Voice-Enabled Speaker Market Share

While still far from mass adoption, virtual assistants are becoming more widely used by Americans, according to eMarketer’s first forecast on users of digital assistants, such as Siri, and voice-enabled speakers, like Amazon Echo.

This year, 35.6 million Americans will use a voice-activated assistant device at least once a month. That’s a jump of 128.9% over last year.

Amazon’s Echo speaker will have 70.6% of users. Meanwhile, Google Home will trail far behind with just 23.8% of the market. The remaining portion will be shared among smaller players, such as Lenovo, LG, Harmon Kardon and Mattel.

eMarketer expects Amazon’s market share to fall slightly in the coming years, as Google’s share grows. But Amazon will remain the dominant player in the category for the foreseeable future. Read the rest at eMarketer.
