Growth Factors and Main Deterrents

Far-field speech recognition as well as far-field voice control has emerged as prominent technologies that are connected to various situations including meeting transcription, onboard navigation and smart home appliances. A number of companies are planning on launching models that will comprise integrated microphones to be used for smart speaker voice control. AudioSmart DSPs are also being introduced in the market by multiple companies; a technology that segregates the speech signals from the background noise, while processing the speech signal to facilitate speech recognition. Similarly, the SoCs technology has been gaining prevalence in the global market as well, with various players churning out the latest products that draw in more customers. For instance, in 2019, Qualcomm developed Bluetooth audio SoCs that helps bring down the battery drain usually experienced by audio products.

The far-field speech and voice recognition market is advancing relentlessly backed by the increasing demand for accurate and reliable speech and voice recognition, technological advancements in deep-learning far-field microphones and the soaring demand for voice control-based smart speakers. Also, the increasing applications of far-field speech and voice recognition within smart home devices can be an attractive opportunity for the renowned market participants in the ensuing period.

The rapid adoption rate of voice control-based smart speakers like Echo and Alexa has been fruitful for the global market in recent years. Sensing the opportunity, a number of vendors are embracing product launch as their key strategy to propel their position in the market for far-field voice technology.

Market Segmentation

Component, microphone solution and application are the top segments covered in the market study.

The primary components available in the market are digital signal processors, software as well as microphones. Microphone can gather the maximum impetus in the market, while the highest growth rate can be achieved by the software segment during the evaluation timeline. Microphones note more demand as they accurately and reliably facilitate digital communication within the far-field speech and voice recognition solution.

The various microphone solutions studied are linear arrays, circular arrays and single microphone. The highest share belonged to the linear array segment in 2018, since these solutions find widespread use in smart devices like smart TVs, speakers, home security devices, home routers, set-top boxes, and similar devices. That said, the fastest progression rate will be noted by the circular arrays segment in the years ahead in the global market.

The chief application segments outlined in the report are smart TV, in-vehicle infotainment system, robotics, smart speakers, smart lighting, smart thermostats, and others. Smart speaker can observe supreme growth in the market on account of the rising deployment of virtual assistants in devices such as tablets and smartphones, especially in Europe and North America.

Regional Insight

The top markets for far-field speech and voice recognition technology are Europe, North America, APAC or Asia Pacific, and RoW or rest of the world.

North America is projected to be the prime market for far-field speech and voice recognition technology, on account of the high usage of smart devices integrated with the latest technologies like IoT and AI. The high consumer enthusiasm in the US to use the latest innovations encourages makers to come up with more advanced products. Celebrated players like Google, Amazon, Bose and Apple offer smart speakers that boost their customer base and helps them expand their regional network. This helps them create niche space in the far-field speech and voice recognition market, not only regionally but also on a global scale.

The mounting demand for voice control-based smart speakers is viewed as a lucrative opportunity for the far-field speech and voice recognition market in Europe. The regional is the second most lucrative market, all because of the frequent technological advancements in deep-learning-based far-field microphones as well as the subsequent expansion of the far field microphone market. The digital signal processors industry is also gaining considerable momentum in the region, given the rising deployment in consumer electronic devices. This can mean vigorous business growth for far-field speech and voice recognition technology over the approaching years.
