CALIFORNIA: The number of voice assistants used worldwide could rise from 2.5 billion in 2018 to 8 billion in 2023, according to Juniper Research.
A recent survey by Clutch found that 48% of respondents in the U.S. owned a digital assistant, and 33% planned to buy one within the next three years. The firm also found that 69% of voice assistant owners used their devices every day.
Clutch found that four voice assistants were the most widely recognized:Amazon’s Echo, Alphabet’s Google Home, Apple’s HomePod, and Facebook’s Portal.
Amazon and Google still hold a near-duopoly in the smart speaker market. Amazon controlled 61% of the market at the beginning of 2019, according to Voicebot, and Google ranked second with a 24% share.
