The increasing consumer preference for technologically advanced products has led to a surge in smartphone and smart device adoption. The widespread personal use of these smart devices is driving their integration with various other devices, such as smart lightbulbs, thermostats, and TVs. For example, as of February 2023, a report from Uswitch Limited indicates that the UK population is expected to reach 68.3 million by 2025, with around 95% (approximately 65 million individuals) owning smartphones. This trend encourages regional manufacturers to produce innovative and advanced products that align with consumer interests and the adoption of emerging technology, thereby propelling the smart speakers market.
The growth of the smart speakers market during the forecast period is being driven by increased consumer spending on entertainment products. Consumer spending on entertainment products refers to the money individuals spend on various entertainment forms, such as movies, video games, streaming services, and live events. This spending also extends to smart speakers, which serve as versatile hubs for music streaming, voice-controlled devices, and interactive content, enhancing the overall entertainment experience. For example, in August 2024, the Digital Entertainment Group (DEG), a US-based industry association advocating for entertainment platforms and distribution channels, reported that consumers spent nearly $25.4 billion on movies and TV shows for home and on-the-go viewing during the first half of 2024. This marked an increase of over 22% compared to the $20.8 billion spent during the same period in 2023. Therefore, the rise in consumer spending on entertainment products is expected to drive the growth of the smart speakers market.
