By the same year, there will be 52.8 million smart
speaker users in the country, with smart speakers expected to see far greater rates of growth over the following two years.
With today's slew of announcements from Amazon, the company seems to have been on a roll this week, mentioning just yesterday that Echo Show owners can now stream music to their Echo
speakers from Amazon Music, a feature which is available
in the U.S. as well as Austria, and coincidentally, the UK and Germany too, which means once the Echo Show launches
in both of those
countries users will be able to stream Amazon Music to the
speaker using Alexa, which should add even more value to the product than it already offers.
The feature is only live for
users living
in the US, UK and Australia — the same
countries that will get the HomePod
speaker next month.
