The most popular brands are Yandex, Xiaomi and Aqara. Most of the sales among “smart” speakers fell on devices with Alice from Yandex. The best-selling models included: “Station Mini (with clock)”, “Station Light” and “Station Max”. The most popular colors are black, purple and mint.

Popularity of smart home devices in 2020-2021 contributed both to the pandemic, when people began to devote more resources to organizing their home space, and to the development of the market for voice-controlled speakers. In 2022, we see the continuation and even acceleration of these trends in some places, since this category is represented mainly by Russian and Chinese brands.
