Speech Technology Global Market Report 2025

Description

Speech technology is a form of computational technology that utilizes voice recognition and speech synthesis technologies to facilitate machine understanding and response to human speech. It improves communication between humans and machines by enabling voice commands for virtual assistants, enabling hands-free operation in vehicles, and offering accessibility features such as speech-to-text across various applications.

Speech technology comes in two primary forms such as artificial intelligence (AI) and non-artificial intelligence. AI-based speech technology involves leveraging artificial intelligence, machine learning, and language models to empower computers in comprehending, interpreting, and generating human speech. This versatile technology can be deployed in diverse modes, including cloud, on-premises, or embedded, and finds applications across various sectors such as automotive, consumer, government, enterprise, healthcare, and banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI).

The speech technology market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides speech technology market statistics, including speech technology industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a speech technology market share, detailed speech technology market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the speech technology industry. This speech technology market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The speech technology market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $16.71 billion in 2024 to $21.06 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to advancements in natural language processing (nlp), rise in voice-activated devices, accessibility and inclusion, integration in customer service, multilingual support.

The speech technology market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $52.89 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to conversational ai evolution, healthcare applications growth, cross-industry integration, emotion recognition capabilities, voice biometrics for security. Major trends in the forecast period include emotion recognition, multilingual and cross-language processing, voice biometrics for security, voice-enabled smart devices, conversational ai and chatbots.

The growing adoption of voice assistants is anticipated to drive the expansion of the speech technology market in the future. A voice assistant is a digital tool that recognizes voice commands, processes language, and generates voice output. As a crucial element of speech technology, voice assistants allow for hands-free device control and promote natural language interactions, thereby improving user convenience and accessibility across various applications. For example, a report from Vixen Labs, an app development studio based in England, revealed that in June 2022, the use of voice assistants like Google Assistant in the United States rose significantly, reaching 34% in 2022, up from 24% in 2021. Thus, the increased utilization of voice assistants is propelling the growth of the speech technology market.

Leading companies in the speech technology market are intensifying their efforts to create technologically advanced solutions, such as text-to-speech (TTS) APIs, to enhance naturalness and expressiveness. A Text-to-Speech (TTS) API converts written text into spoken words using synthetic speech, offering various voice options and customization features for more natural audio output. For example, in March 2024, Deepgram, a US-based AI company, introduced Aura, a TTS API tailored for real-time, conversational voice AI agents. Aura boasts 12 human-like voices, provides low latency of under 250 milliseconds for rapid responses, and is competitively priced at $0.015 per 1,000 characters. This API allows developers to create applications that facilitate natural conversations with users, making it particularly suitable for industries like customer service and healthcare. Additionally, Aura seamlessly integrates with Deepgram's Nova-2 speech-to-text API, delivering a comprehensive solution for developing sophisticated voice AI interactions.

In March 2022, Microsoft Corporation, a prominent US-based technology company, successfully acquired Nuance for a significant sum of $19.7 billion. This acquisition is poised to expedite Microsoft's industry-specific cloud strategy, particularly in transforming outcomes-based Artificial Intelligence (AI) in sectors such as healthcare, financial services, retail, and telecommunications. Nuance Communications, the acquired entity, is a distinguished US-based speech technology company, further strengthening Microsoft's position in the rapidly advancing field of speech technology.
