The data for this new topic and visualization suite was compiled from manufacturer websites and expert reviewers.

Smart home speaker visualizations can be found in Graphiq Search by searching for the brand & model of the smart home speakers. (example: google home or amazon echo)

Insights on the data from Yvette, a Graphiq Knowledge Engineer who focuses on consumer electronics: We all know the Amazon Echo and Google Home, but most consumers have yet to hear about the emerging competitors in the smart home speakers market. During my research, I found a variety of smart speakers with unique features that cater to different use cases. Since this is a new product category, the difference between each speaker’s offering is large. Yet, as one of the fastest trends in the Internet of Things (IoT) landscape, these smart devices will continue to rapidly evolve and then standardize. It won’t be long until every home in the U.S. will have a voice-activated smart speaker to assist in everyday tasks.
