Amazon Overtakes Sonos as Leading Wi-Fi Speaker Brand [Chart]

Amazon stole Sonos crown as the leading Wi-Fi speaker brand in 2016, according to a new report from Strategy Analytics.

“Amazon has hit upon a winning formula with its Alexa-powered series of Echo speakers and its rapid success has clearly sent shock waves through the industry” says David Watkins, Director within the Intelligent Home Group at Strategy Analytics. “However, we believe that demand for Amazon’s own brand devices is having largely an additive effect on the overall wireless speaker market particularly when you consider that the popular Echo Dot is often paired via Bluetooth to a better quality speaker.”
