Smart Wearable Market Trends

Smartwatches Are Expected to Witness Significant Growth

• A smartwatch is a small mobile device worn around the wrist. A number of smartwatches connect with smartphones and notify the user about incoming calls, text messages, or notifications from applications. Some smartwatches can even make phones.
• Moreover, smartwatches can run apps and play back any kind of digital media, such as music tracks or radio streams, for Bluetooth headphones. Many of these watches have touchscreens that allow the user to access functions such as the calculator, thermometer, compass, etc.
• Smartwatches, which allow the user to track lap times, distances, and routes, are specifically designed for athletic purposes. They can be coupled with accessories such as a heart rate monitor or cadence sensor, which may work in combination. There are specialty smartwatches built for sailing enthusiasts, helping them track variables such as speed, wind direction, and wind speed.
• Smartwatches have also developed into multipurpose gadgets that work as extensions of smartphones, offering contactless payment options, notifications, and applications. As of December 2023, the vast majority of debit card payments across the Netherlands were contactless.

Asia-Pacific is Expected to Witness the Fastest Growth Rate

• Due to the increasing spread of the Internet of Things (IoT), the number of connected devices in the region has increased rapidly in recent years. Wearable electronic devices such as fitness bands and smartwatches represent a new growth factor for the booming wearable temperature sensor market. The Asia-Pacific region is expected to record the highest growth in the smart wearables market during the forecast period.
• China, in particular, is a global manufacturing hub for electronics. This means that many wearables and smart devices are actually produced in the region, leading to potentially lower prices and quicker market availability. In addition, this region's growth can be attributed to the relatively high disposable income of its consumers, who can afford to buy the latest smart devices as soon as they are released.
• Moreover, the main factors driving this country's smart wearables market growth are the growing awareness of fitness and technology progress and the availability of high-speed Internet connections.
• In February 2023, Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd and Natural Cycles announced a partnership to upgrade the Galaxy Watch 5 series' temperature-based menstrual cycle monitoring capabilities. This was the first time Natural Cycles' cutting-edge technology was adapted for a wristwatch. The temperature sensor uses infrared technology to give more accurate readings, regardless of temperature changes in the environment or movement during sleep.
