Wearable Technology Market Segmentation:

Consumer electronics application to hold the highest market share during the forecast period.

Consumer wearables include wearable devices for different applications, ranging from entertainment and multimedia to garments and fashion. The reason behind the growth of the market is accelerated by growing consumer interest in tracking fitness-related activities. Moreover, tremendous growth of low-cost consumer wearable devices, due to downsized multifunctional ICs and sensor technology, is driving its adoption. Because the sensors are small in size and have advanced integration technologies, they can be fitted in a variety of accessories such as wristbands, wristwatches, eyeglasses, clothing, caps, socks, shoes, headphones, and smartphones.

By Operation, AI-based segment is projected to grow at a high CAGR of wearable technology market during the forecast period.

AI-based wearable operations are likely to maintain the highest CAGR in the wearable technology market, because these technologies bring advanced and revolutionary capabilities to offer personal experiences. Using AI, devices will not only enable the user for real-time insights into health, but also predictiveness, respond to the patient’s behaviour patterns, biometric monitoring capabilities that become more accurate and sophisticated personal assistance, or automated health anomalies identification. Integration of AI into devices also increases the efficiency of the device, prolongs battery life, and enables natural language processing to make better user interactions.

Asia Pacific will account for the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Wearable technology market in the Asia Pacific region continues to grow strongly with several factors. Higher smartphone penetration and greater internet access enable higher adoption of wearables. Health awareness and an ageing population drive up demand for fitness trackers and health-monitoring wearables. Further, miniaturization of devices and enhancements in battery life make it more user-friendly and appealing. The tech-friendly young population is adopting smartwatches and other wearables just as an accessory for fashion. The government focus on smart cities and digital health is also creating a supportive environment to permit growth in the market. A substantial percentage of manufacturing bases are present in countries like China and South Korea to produce cost-effective products and create innovative designs in wearable technology.
