Smart Speakers to eclipse tablets

By 2021, there will be more smart speakers in use than tablets according to forecast from Canalys. The firm says that the worldwide base of smart speakers will grow to 208 million next year. Other estimates put the installed base of U.S. smart speakers at more than 100 million already.

Canalys projects that the U.S. will remain the largest market for the devices, accounting for just over 42 percent of smart-speaker ownership.
