The voice recognition market is forecast to reach $61.71 billion by 2031, supported by strong adoption of edge AI chipsets, cloud-based platforms, and rising enterprise use of voice biometrics.
Hyderabad, India, Jan. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mordor Intelligence, a leading market research and advisory firm, has published a new report on the voice recognition market, highlighting strong growth momentum fueled by artificial intelligence advancements, expanding smart device ecosystems, and rising enterprise adoption of voice-enabled solutions.
According to the report, the voice recognition market size was valued at USD 18.39 billion in 2025 and is estimated to grow from USD 22.49 billion in 2026 to USD 61.71 billion by 2031, registering a robust CAGR of 22.38% during the forecast period (2026–2031). This expansion reflects increasing demand for speech-driven human–machine interaction across consumer electronics, automotive, healthcare, BFSI, and enterprise applications.
The voice recognition market growth is further supported by improvements in natural language processing (NLP), deep learning algorithms, and cloud-based deployment models. As organizations prioritize automation, accessibility, and hands-free interfaces, voice recognition technologies are becoming integral to digital transformation strategies across industries.
Voice Recognition Market Developments Shaping Industry Growth
Regulatory-Driven Modernization of Emergency Communication Systems
Regulatory changes in North America are accelerating upgrades to emergency communication systems, pushing service providers toward more advanced, IP-based call handling. As carriers modernize 911 infrastructure, voice recognition is increasingly being used to improve call accuracy, enable real-time transcription, and support text and video interactions during emergencies. These requirements are creating steady demand for voice-enabled solutions in public safety, with similar frameworks expected to shape emergency response networks in other regions as well.
Rise of Localized Voice AI in Edge Hardware
Across Asia, voice-enabled edge devices are gaining momentum as chipmakers focus on on-device speech processing tailored to local languages. Running voice AI directly on hardware reduces response time, limits reliance on cloud connectivity, and addresses data privacy concerns. This shift is also strengthening regional semiconductor ecosystems, enabling manufacturers to deliver integrated voice solutions that better reflect multilingual and mixed-language usage common across Asian markets.
