"We expect that the total installed base of the five key smart device types will exceed 2.7 billion by 2026, and smart speakers will be the leading device."

Each of these device types has its own set of drivers and challenges but improvements to connectivity and coverage will drive growth in the number of smart devices worldwide.
This report provides:
- a 5-year forecast of the installed base of five key smart device types (smart glasses, smart speakers, smart bands, smart watches and VR headsets), by region and country (60 countries in total)
- an overview of the main trends, drivers and forecast assumptions for each smart device category.
