Top 10 Companies in Speech and Voice Recognition Market

The Speech and Voice Recognition Market is projected to reach $56.07 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 19.1% during the forecast period 2023–2030. The growth of the speech and voice recognition market is driven by the surging use of voice biometrics, the integration of voice-enabled devices in car infotainment systems, and the proliferation of voice-enabled devices. However, speech and voice recognition devices’ lack of accuracy in recognizing regional accents and dialects and low awareness about speech and voice recognition technologies restrain the growth of this market.

The high potential of AI-enabled voice assistants in the healthcare industry and technological advancements, coupled with the rising acceptance of connected devices, are expected to create growth opportunities for the players operating in the speech and voice recognition market. However, performance issues with speech and voice recognition-enabled devices due to ambient noise is a major challenge for market growth. Additionally, the growing demand for voice authentication in mobile banking applications, increasing integration of AI & ML into speech recognition technology, growing use of speech recognition technology for translating rare & local languages, and rising demand for speech-based biometric systems are prominent trends in the speech and voice recognition market.
