亞馬遜Echo與谷歌Home一直是智能音箱市場(chǎng)中最大的莊家，但一家新公司正迎頭趕了上來(lái)。

研究公司Canalys稱,，中國(guó)科技巨頭百度已經(jīng)超越谷歌,，坐上了全球智能音箱市場(chǎng)的第二把交椅。百度制作的音箱僅在中國(guó)銷(xiāo)售,，其第二季度出貨量占到了全球市場(chǎng)的17.3%,，超過(guò)了谷歌16.7%的份額。

亞馬遜以25.4%的份額位居榜首,。

百度的崛起更令人感到震驚,，可以說(shuō)是橫空出世。Canalys稱,，在去年的這個(gè)時(shí)候,，其市場(chǎng)份額還不到1%。

但自那之后,，百度成功地將其銷(xiāo)售額提升了3700%,。對(duì)，這個(gè)數(shù)字并沒(méi)有打錯(cuò),。

百度的增速遠(yuǎn)超亞馬遜的Echo,，后者的出貨量在去年僅增長(zhǎng)了61%。谷歌的出貨量實(shí)際上下降了近20%,。

總的來(lái)說(shuō),，智能音箱第二季度出貨量與去年同期相比增長(zhǎng)了55%。各大制造商的出貨量超過(guò)了2600萬(wàn)臺(tái),，而去年同期為1680萬(wàn)臺(tái),。

大部分的增長(zhǎng)來(lái)自于美國(guó)海外，而這一點(diǎn)對(duì)于百度也是十分有利,。盡管該行業(yè)的增長(zhǎng)期有所延長(zhǎng),，但美國(guó)的出貨量下滑了2%。

Canalys的高級(jí)分析師杰森·洛在一則聲明中說(shuō)：“亞馬遜和谷歌正專(zhuān)注于發(fā)展其美國(guó)海外的業(yè)務(wù),?！保ㄘ?cái)富中文網(wǎng)）

Amazon’s Echo and Google’s Home have been the biggest players in the smart speaker market. But a new company is rising in the ranks.

Chinese tech giant Baidu has unseated Google for No. 2 in the smart speaker market worldwide, according to research firm Canalys. Baidu, which makes speakers that it sells only in China, had a 17.3% market share of shipments in the second quarter, ahead of Google, which had a 16.7% share.

Amazon led the smart speaker rankings at 25.4%.

Baidu’s rise is all the more remarkable because it has come out of nowhere. At this time last year, its market share was just under 1%, according to Canalys.

But since then, Baidu has managed to increase sales 3,700%. And no, that’s not a typo.

Baidu’s growth far outpaces that of Amazon Echo, shipments of which grew just over 61% in the past year. Google’s shipments actually declined nearly 20%.

Overall, smart speaker shipments grew 55% in the second quarter compared with the same quarter a year earlier. Manufacturers shipped over 26 million of them during that time versus 16.8 million in the year-ago quarter.

Much of that growth is coming from outside the U.S., which also works in Baidu’s favor. Shipments in the U.S. declined 2% even as the industry sees a larger growth period.

“Amazon and Google are focused on growing their business outside the U.S.,” senior analyst at Canalys Jason Low said in a statement.
