The Connected Wearables Market worldwide: trends, products, keys actors and challenges.
We are still at the early
stage of this nascent industry (activity trackers, smartwatches, smart glasses
and medical devices).
Despite lack of viral traction
in terms of design, style, comfort, content and services, connected wearables
are becoming increasingly popular on many markets globally.
Smartwatches became more and more available in 2014. Android Wear
smartwatches from Sony, LG, Motorola and Asus entered the market to compete
with existing offerings from Pebble and Samsung. Smartwatches are the second
largest category of connected wearables.
The Apple Watch will enter the market soon. Traditional watch vendors will
also enter the market in the coming years, both with smartwatches capable of
running third party applications as well as traditionally styled watches with
basic smartphone notification features.
Shipments of smart glasses have so far been very modest, but promising use
cases in specific markets such as enterprise and medical as well as in niche
segments of the consumer market can enable smart glasses to become the third
largest category of connected wearables in the next years.
