Wearable Technology Market Dynamics
Driver: Growing consumer preference for sleek and compact devices in fitness and healthcare applications
With wearable electronic devices all set to join the mainstream of personal computing, it is expected that the consumer preference for sleek and compact wearable devices would be the key driver for the wearable technology market.
Wearable devices, specifically smartwatches and wristbands, are gaining traction among consumers worldwide. Also, there is an increase in demand for wearables in fitness and healthcare applications.
Wearable medical devices are handheld monitoring tools used for the identification and monitoring of potential diseases. Currently, several patients are opting for home healthcare, which is a cost-effective and efficient way of treatment, over hospital services. Wearable technologies could help in lowering costs by facilitating easy health and fitness monitoring and connecting people to their healthcare providers.
Restraint: Limited battery life
The absence of efficient and reliable battery system without compromising the ease of use of wearable device and its compactnessis a limiting factor in the wearable technology market.
A major challenge to be addressed is to manage power consumption, power requirement and recharging of batteries. Managing power consumption in a cost efficient manner to meet the power efficiency of wearable devices is the factor that is expected to have restraining impact on the market.
Opportunity: Multiple application adoption of wearables
The wearable technology market is expected to witness an increasing number of new product launches.
The application area for these devices is increasing rapidly-from wellness and fitness to more sophisticated and complex sectors such as medical and military-owing to the technical maturity of wearable devices. All these factors, coupled with high growth potential, would enable the rapid growth of the wearable technology market.
Challenge: Unaddressed regulatory issues and vulnerability of healthcare information
Regulatory requirements, especially for medical devices, are well established worldwide; however, other devices which can also be used in the medical application owing to advancements in technology are not yet required to follow the same rules.
Wearables are designed to capture various data including personal, fitness, and financial data, and transmit this data for analysis or sharing; thus, challenges with regard to information security need to be handled. With further market growth and emergence of such issues, governments are expected to implement certain rules and regulations regarding privacy, security, data ownership, and consent.
The GDPR has established a set of principles and tools for developers of smart glasses to assess privacy impacts. It includes recommendations to establish a new framework for privacy and electronic communication, as proposed with the ePrivacy regulation
Key Market Growth Drivers for Wearable Technology Market Trends in the Future
Due to rising consumer demand for fitness and health tracking devices, improvements in sensors and connection, expanding use of AR and VR, and the development of the Internet of Things, the wearable technology industry is predicted to expand. The market for increasingly sophisticated and useful wearable technology will expand as a result of these causes.

The study involved four major activities in estimating the size of the wearable technology market. Exhaustive secondary research has been done to collect information on the market, peer market, and parent market. Validation of these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research has been the next step. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches have been employed to estimate the global market size. After that, market breakdown and data triangulation have been used to estimate the market sizes of segments and subsegments.
Secondary Research
The secondary sources referred to for this research study includes TechCrunch News, OLED Wearable technology, Fraunhofer Data, and Photonics Articles. In the wearable technology market report, both top-down and bottom-up approaches have been used to estimate and validate the size of the wearable technology market, along with other dependent submarkets. The key players in the wearable technology market have been identified through secondary research, and their market presence has been determined through primary and secondary research. All percentage shares, splits, and breakdowns have been determined using secondary sources and verified through primary sources.
Primary Research
Extensive primary research has been conducted after acquiring an understanding of the wearable technology market scenario through secondary research. Several primary interviews have been conducted with market experts from both the demand- (consumers, industries, healthcare) and supply-side (wearable technology product manufacturers) players across four major regions, namely, Americas, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa). Approximately 70% and 30% of primary interviews have been conducted from the supply and demand side, respectively. Primary data has been collected through questionnaires, emails, and telephonic interviews. In the canvassing of primaries, various departments within organizations, such as sales, operations, and administration, were covered to provide a holistic viewpoint in our report.
After interacting with industry experts, brief sessions were conducted with highly experienced independent consultants to reinforce the findings from our primaries. This, along with the in-house subject matter experts’ opinions, has led us to the findings as described in the remainder of this report.

Data Triangulation
After arriving at the overall market size—using the market size estimation processes explained above—the market has been split into several segments and subsegments. To complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics of each market segment and subsegment, data triangulation, and market breakdown procedures have been employed, wherever applicable. The data has been triangulated by studying various factors and trends from both the demand and supply sides.
The main objectives of this study are as follows:
- To define, describe, and forecast the wearable technology market, in terms of value and volume, by product, application, type, and region
- To forecast the market, for various segments with respect to four main regions—the Americas, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), and Rest of the World (RoW), in terms of value and volume
- To strategically analyze micromarkets1 with respect to individual growth trends, prospects, and contribution to the overall wearable technology market
- To provide detailed information regarding the major factors (drivers, restraints, opportunities, and challenges) influencing the wearable technology market growth
- To analyze opportunities in the market for various stakeholders by identifying the high-growth segments of the wearable technology market
- To study the complete value chain and allied industry segments, and perform a value chain analysis of the wearable technology market landscape
