In addition to this, consumer demand for smartphones is increasing at a significant rate.

Such growing penetration of smartphones is expected to pave the way for more connected to devices.

Challenges: Security Concerns Pertaining to Connected Devices

According to a study by Microsoft, about 52% of the respondents mentioned that data security was their major concern in the adoption of smart speakers, 41% mentioned its passive listening, and 14% of respondents took time to hand write that they did not trust the company behind the voice assistant.
