Smart Sound and Gateway Market
Description
The global smart sound and gateway market size reached USD 61.5 Billion in 2025. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 278.3 Billion by 2034, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 17.71% during 2026-2034. The rising demand for energy-efficient solutions and the expansion of 5G network infrastructure represent some of the key factors propelling the market.
SMART SOUND AND GATEWAY MARKET ANALYSIS:
Technological Advancements in AI and Voice Recognition
Smart sound gateways are increasingly incorporating cultured AI algorithms that enable accurate voice recognition and natural language processing. This allows devices to understand and respond to a wider range of voice commands, thereby improving user interaction and making smart sound systems more intuitive as well as responsive. For instance, in January 2024, Andes Technology, a founding premier member of the RISC-V International and a supplier of 32/64-bit, and Spacetouch Technology, a high-tech enterprise in smart home technologies, collaborated to launch a high-tech edge-side AI audio processor featuring the powerful RISC-V AndesCore D25F. This, in turn, is bolstering the smart sound and gateway market forecast report.
Growth in Multi-Functionality of Smart Sound Devices
These devices are now evolving into comprehensive control hubs that manage a wide range of home automation systems, which were originally designed for specific tasks, such as playing music or controlling basic smart home functions. This is driving the smart sound and gateway market demand. For instance, in January 2024, Sonos expanded its product line by introducing the 8″ in-ceiling speaker by Sonos and Sonance. This multifunctional smart sound system offers installers and customers a new size option for powerful, balanced audio, seamlessly integrating with existing setups and providing flexibility in design and installation for optimized smart home experiences.
Rising Focus on Enhanced Security Features
Consumers are becoming more concerned about the security of their smart home devices with the rise in cybersecurity threats and data breaches. As the smart sound and gateway market share continues to grow, manufacturers are focusing on incorporating advanced encryption methods, regular software updates, and secure authentication processes. For example, in June 2024, Secure Connection, a Hong Kong-based global electronic products manufacturer, expanded its presence in India with a new personal audio product range, including three wireless Bluetooth speakers, under Honeywell branding. The newly launched speakers include the Suono P300 and P400 under the Platinum series and the Trueno U300 in the Ultimate Series.
