Amazon Is Bringing the Echo to India and Japan. Here's Why It Matters
Just after announcing a slew of new Echo devices, Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) said last week that the new Echo, Echo Plus, and Echo Dot are now available in India by invitation-only, and that the devices will launch in Japan later this year.
These two markets are becoming more important to Amazon for different reasons. In Japan, Amazon can tap into a consumer market that's eager for smart home speakers and use that demand to hopefully boost other sales of products on its website.
Additionally, Amazon's smart speaker debut in India plays well into the company's recent investments in the country as it tries to tap the country's burgeoning consumer market.
