An electronic skin patch is a flexible, wearable device designed to adhere to the skin and monitor real-time physiological parameters. Embedded with sensors, these patches track vital signs such as heart rate, temperature, and hydration levels, ensuring continuous health monitoring. They are crafted from biocompatible materials to ensure comfort and safety during extended wear.
The primary types of electronic skin patches include monitoring and diagnostic, as well as therapeutic. Monitoring and diagnostic patches utilize wearable technology to track physiological parameters for health assessment and diagnosis. Components such as sensors, actuators, communication devices, and power supplies support various applications including diabetes management, cardiovascular monitoring, general patient monitoring, temperature sensing, electrical stimulation, iontophoresis, sweat sensing, wound monitoring and treatment, motion sensing, and more. These patches find applications across diverse sectors including healthcare, fitness, sports, and other fields.

The electronic skin patch market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $12.48 billion in 2024 to $14.58 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the high chronic disease burden, electronic skin patches offering cost-effective monitoring solutions, growing consumer interest in wearable health technologies, the aging global population, and supportive regulatory frameworks.
The electronic skin patch market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $27.01 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to consumer demand for convenience, regulatory support and standards, fitness and sports applications, a shift towards personalized medicine, and increasing awareness about health and wellness. Major trends in the forecast period include the integration of advanced sensors, biocompatibility, and skin interaction, remote monitoring and telemedicine, AI and machine learning integration, innovations in smart textiles, and flexible electronics for integrating electronic components.
The increasing focus on fitness within the population is expected to drive growth in the electronic skin patch market. Fitness denotes achieving physical health through regular exercise, nutrition, and lifestyle choices. This trend is supported by heightened awareness of health benefits, advancements in fitness tracking technology, and a cultural shift towards prioritizing physical well-being. Electronic skin patches play a crucial role in this trend by monitoring vital signs and physical activity in real-time, offering personalized health data. These patches improve workout efficiency and health management by providing continuous and accurate feedback. For example, a report by the Sports and Fitness Industry Association (SFIA) in April 2024 highlighted a 4.2% growth in the sporting goods industry, reaching $121.66 billion in 2023, underscoring the impact of the fitness trend on the electronic skin patch market.
Leading companies in the electronic skin patch market are focusing on advancing technologies like wearable devices to enhance health monitoring capabilities. Wearable technology refers to electronic devices worn on the body that monitor, track, or improve health, fitness, and daily activities through integrated sensors and connectivity. For example, in October 2024, STMicroelectronics, a Switzerland-based semiconductor company, introduced the ST1VAFE3BX biosensor chip. This advanced biosensor chip is specifically designed for wearable health and fitness devices. It combines biopotential sensing with motion tracking and features an embedded AI core, making it suitable for devices like smartwatches, fitness bands, and smart rings. The chip enables a wide range of physiological measurements, including heart-rate variability, cognitive functions, and neurological health monitoring. By integrating a motion-sensing accelerometer with on-chip machine-learning capabilities, it supports activity detection and gesture recognition while conserving power, helping to extend the battery life of wearable devices.
In May 2024, WearLinq, a US-based healthcare technology company, acquired AMI Cardiac Monitoring LLC for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition enables WearLinq to expand its clinical services nationwide, across all 50 states, and improve access to advanced cardiac monitoring using its eWave wearable ECG technology. AMI Cardiac Monitoring LLC, a US-based company, specializes in advanced cardiac monitoring solutions aimed at enhancing patient care and outcomes.
