ββπ£ The State of Chinese Voice Assistants
China is the second-largest consumer market in the world, hitting $4.3T in consumer expenditure in 2016 alone (for reference, the US ranked first with $12.5T, and Japan third with $2.7T).
The Chinese smart home market will reach nearly $23B in 2018, according to Juniper Research. #SmartSpeakers and #AI voice assistants are becoming an integral part of that.
Now that smart speakers are becoming commonplace, the early entrant, #Amazon, is losing its market share β and not just to its rival #Google, but to newer players emerging in China.

ββπ€ Android's Dominance
Ten years ago, on September 23, 2008, the T-Mobile G1 made its debut, marking the birth hour of #Android. More than a year after #Apple had released the first #iPhone, Androidβs debut wasnβt as spectacular and, as opposed to the iPhone, the first Android device still had a physical keyboard. But #Googleβs open approach to building a mobile platform quickly proved to be successful and it took less than three years for Android to become the number 1 platform in the booming smartphone market.
