Thanks to the rapid growth of the communication technology as well as the hardware industry, this is now becoming an era of connected devices using technologies such as Internet-of-Things (IoT).

The report from the technology market analyst firm Canalys says that devices such as ACs, Door Locks, TVs, and Refrigerators will be able to be operated through smart assistants and will reach 3.6 billion in 2023.
It further goes on to mention that the rise of smart assistants built into the speakers has catalyzed the growth of smart home products and IoT-powered devices that can be controlled through voice commands.
The report adds that the installed base of devices with support for smart assistants built-in will reach 2.2 billion units in China with a compound annual growth rate of 42 percent between 2018 and 2023.
Analyst firm Canalys predicts that every Chinese household will own an average of seven smart assistant-compatible home devices by 2023. Cynthia Chen, Canalys Research Analyst says that the large appliance category, which includes refrigerators, washing machines, and air conditioners, is expected to contribute the biggest growth.
However, it claims that the smartphone will continue to be the leading device category for smart assistants until 2023. But, over the years, with the increasing awareness of saving energy and creating a healthier living environment, will be a major factor in choosing the type of device for the Chinese IoT market.
