You think Google home has over 50% penetration?
- mmmmmbop 3y agoAssistant is included on most Android devices nowadays. Assuming smartphones in general have 90%+ market penetration, 42% market share for Android, and an average household size of 3, it seems reasonable to assume that 50%+ of households will have at least one device running Assistant.
- fnord123 3y agoYou think over 100% of people use Google Assistant on their Android smartphone?
- vineyardmike 3y agoI agree with the sentiment, but i don’t think you can go from 42% of the population to >50% of households. Especially because households probably cluster, so it’s probably strictly less than 42% of households use android.
- vineyardmike 3y agoBetween GAssistant, Alexa and Siri Speakers I bet it’s a significant chunk of the population. Sonos now have a voice assistant (far more limited though) and many cars are rolling out some sort of assistant too. I know plenty of people with multiple speakers and from competing brands. Oh and obviously every iPhone in the last decade has it built in. That’s 50% of the population right there. Then there’s android phones, where I don’t know if they all have it wakeword enabled, but it’s probably another big chunk too.
- fnord123 3y agoThe thread is about Google Assistant, not Alexa, Sonos, or Siri. Regardless, do you think over 50% of households use the voice commands to the extent we call it "pervasive"?
