one in five U.S. adults today have access to a smart speaker. Most people use them for music streaming, timers, and news updates. Here’s it’s current trend:

  1. Internet of Things (IoT) is rising
  2. Voice reduce friction
  3. Streaming is a growing alternative to ownership

Where it’s headed

Although the speakers true potential is not yet realized by consumers. Its adoption as a music streaming device and general assistant will continue to grow.

devices are set for a 50-percent dollar growth from between 2016–2017 to 2018–2019. The category is projected to add $1.6 billion through next year.

I gave a tech talk at my old High School, Voice as a Growing Specialization, and 50% of current voice owners bought them within the past year… At that rate of growth, EVEN IF owners are only using them for music and timers today, it presents an amazing investment opportunity for businesses.

  1. Sell Products & Services: “Okay Google, book me an uber”
  2. Brick & Mortar -> Website -> Mobile Apps -> Voice Apps
  3. Provide answers: “Okay Google, how many calories does a Chipotle burrito have?” Google responds “Here’s the top result….”
