MediaTek dominates the global smart speaker processor market

Over the past two years, MediaTek has more than doubled its share of the smart speaker processor market. Synaptics is in second place at the end of 2020. It is followed by Allwinner and Amlogic. Strategy Analytics clarifies that Synaptics has become a major player in the smart speaker market following the acquisition of Marvell Multimedia Solutions in 2017. It is expected to show the largest growth in market share this year. Meanwhile, the degree of market consolidation is already quite high: the processors for 87% of all smart speakers sold in 2020 come from just five leading suppliers.

Note that MediaTek processors are used in smart speakers from companies such as Amazon, Alibaba and Baidu.
