Smart Speaker Ownership Nearly Doubled in Six Months

It’s taken a little while, relatively speaking, but smart speaker ownership finally appears to be taking off. According to the latest report released today by Parks Associates, ownership of smart speakers reached 27 percent of broadband households in the U.S. during Q1 2018.

The new research from Parks, part of their new “Global Connected Living Outlook” report, will be discussed during their CONNECTIONS Conference in San Francisco next week.
