The global touchless sensing equipment market is largely driven by increasing adoption of voice recognition technology and touchless sanitary ware. Voice recognition is used in a variety of applications such as automatic speech recognition, voice biometrics, automotive voice recognition, smartphones, and other smart devices.
Many countries have imposed regulations to prevent the use of mobile devices while driving, which has led to the increased adoption of voice recognition technology. Some of the countries that have imposed strict restrictions include Australia, the Philippines, the US, the UK, India, and Chile.
In the US, though more than 13 states have imposed regulations to prevent the use of mobile devices while driving, they permit the use of hands-free systems. Hence, customers are increasingly adopting mobile devices that are equipped with voice recognition technologies, which help them access the device without the need to move their eyes off the road while driving.
