EUROPE
The Europe region has always been receptive toward absorbing emerging technologies. Advancement in AI, deep learning, ASR, and NLP are making a huge impact on the voice assistant application market. The European countries, such as Germany, UK, France, Netherland, Sweden, Spain, and Italy have huge market opportunities for voice assistant solution providers to develop innovative solutions. During the forecast period, the European market is expected to be the second largest market for voice assistant application technologies. Europe is progressing toward digital industrialization as the government in the region plays a vital role in the development of AI and ML technologies for various enterprise applications. For instance, in April 2019, member states and the European Commission proposed a plan to foster the development and use of AI in Europe.Industry verticals are investing substantially to enhance customer service management, which in turn, is expected to motivate vendors to carry out large-scale voice assistant software deployments. European customers expect better customer service and engagement from enterprises. Enterprises have already adopted technologies, such as Interactive Voice Response (IVR) technology, virtual agents, speech recognition, and virtual assistants, for communication purposes. European enterprises in various industries, such as manufacturing, healthcare, travel and hospitality, retail, and BFSI are leveraging the benefits of virtual assistant software to acquire customers, and enhance customer service and loyalty.Voice Assistant Application Startups in Europe
