Apple homepods will get 4% of the market in 2018

Apple has been one of many companies to jump into the smart speaker segment. The Cupertino firm long ago introduced its HomePod. Little by little, they are making progress in the international market, although their market share is notably lower than many expected. For this 2018 they will keep 4%. So they will be third parties in the market.

Apple HomePods will get 4% of the market in 2018

The smart speaker segment continues to grow at a good rate globally. Sales increase, and there are more and more brands present, to which names such as Huawei or Samsung will soon be added.

Apple HomePods advance in the market

Apple's forecast for its HomePods is to sell between 2 and 4 million devices in 2018. It seems that the figures are going to be met, so that the firm would stay in third place. Although at a great distance from the market leaders. Because Amazon with Alexa will dominate 50% of the market in 2018, while in second place we have Google Home with 30%.

Apple's HomePods will continue to advance, although the distances are great. Although it is expected that in about two years they will already have 10% of the global market share for smart speakers. At least according to forecasts.

It is expected that in 2018, 100 million smart speakers will be sold worldwide. It represents a growth of 150% compared to last year's figures. Something that makes it clear that it is a market in full growth and that generates a lot of interest.
