More Indians: Having Conversation With Devices as the Popularity of Smart Homes Rises

The use of smart devices and home appliances is rising across all price ranges and product categories in India, where people are increasingly conversing with their technology.

Despite being nothing new, the use of voice commands is growing alongside the adoption of smart homes, helped by the incorporation of regional Indian languages in their user interfaces.

The Smart Homes of India report from market research firm TechARC, released on Wednesday, states that speech functions are used by 92% of all consumers who own connected devices like smart bulbs, speakers, and televisions to communicate with them.

Manufacturers have begun to sell Smart devices like smart lamps, plugs, televisions, and speakers at prices that are becoming more and more accessible, which has increased the use of smart technology.

According to the TechARC survey, voice commands are used with smart TVs by 81% of all consumers. When it comes to voice, smart bulbs and lights (56 percent) are the second most popular category of smart appliances. Following are infrared remotes, door locks, security cameras, and air conditioners.

A growing market opportunity for smart appliances in the nation is boosting voice usage at home.

According to a Frost & Sullivan report from August of last year, there is increasing demand for voice control of devices using Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, and Apple's Siri, and it is predicted that the market for smart home appliances will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15% over the next five years.

According to the survey, even while the adoption of voice-activated smart home appliances was only about 5 percent of all appliances sold in 2017, it might reach 12 percent by 2024.

The rise of Indian vernacular languages has been a major factor in the development of the new trend, according to Anshika Jain, the senior research analyst at Counterpoint Research. While Alexa also supports Hindi, Google Assistant currently supports nine Indian languages. This is undoubtedly fostering the expansion of voice commands in this industry, she said.

With the introduction of smart speakers in India, the trend is also expanding. Smart speakers are anticipated to expand by 50% this year, according to Jain, after growing by 60% year over year in 2016.

The rising use of smart speakers is only going to enhance the use of voice commands in India—instead of actual remote controls—given that they serve as remote hubs for all smart appliances compatible with a voice assistant like the Google Assistant or Alexa.

Jain did remark that the industry is still developing in India.

Since the majority of smart products are still somewhat pricey, India is currently home to the early users of smart appliances and voice interfaces. By 2025, the Indian market for smart appliances will likely reach a tipping point similar to what has already occurred for wearable technology.
