Consumers are also eagerly adopting speaker-based voice assistants, with shipments of Google Home and Amazon Echo speakers expected to climb more than threefold to 24.5 million in 2017.” With such a great number of people using voice assistants presently and the many improvements that are sure to come in the near future, these already-staggering statistics are sure to continue to see impressive and steady growth.
