Voice assistants are coming in a big way this year. Last year, 7 million voice-first devices, most notably Amazon Echo and Google Home, hit the market. That was up from only 2 million the yearbefore.
This year, 25 million devices will be shipped, bringing the total number of voice-first devices to 33 million in circulation, based on a new study.
