Security concerns over smart speakers to restrain global market expansion 

Smart speakers come in a range of different sizes and shapes and are growing in terms of popularity in the last few years. Smart speakers are music speakers that can interact with users with the help of an integrated voice recognition system. There are different brands of smart speakers in the market such as Amazon Echo, Apple HomePod, Google Home, and many more. However, these smart speakers can lead to security concerns over the user's privacy. For instance, Google Home smart speaker's recording is being sent to the servers after hearing the command word over a connection that is encoded. It has been noticed that when Google Home was launched, the device was recording without any command word. Google, Inc. resolved this by stating that it was a hardware problem and the bug has been removed. However, it shows how easy it is for these devices to do more than they should. Security concerns regarding smart speakers is expected to have a medium impact on the smart speaker market, as bigger players are trying to make these devices more secure and maintain the privacy of the users.
