In 2020, there will be 4.2 billion digital voice assistants being used in devices around the world. Forecasts suggest that by 2024, the number of digital voice assistants will reach 8.4 billion units – a number higher than the world’s population.
Virtual assistants have become a key component of the smart device industry, being absolutely integral to the way that consumers interact with their devices. As the industry grows and its technology becomes more advanced, companies are increasingly searching for bigger and better uses of “smart” technology. Tech savvy consumers can now communicate with their connected homes and vehicles in much the same way that they can with their smartphones.

Juniper counts voice assistants as the pairing of an individual user with a particular assistant and device. That means some users will have multiple assistants in use while others will have none. The firm also includes both consumer and enterprise assistants.
