The Indian wearable (basic wearables and smart wearables) market

The most exciting is to recall that, low cost fitness trackers are on a powerful curve in terms of adoption.

For those who are unfamiliar, smart wearables can run third party apps and basic wearables can’t.

Vendor like Fossil paves its way into Indian wearable market and fresh shipments of new models from vendors like Apple and Samsung fuelled the growth.

In terms of price, <$50 segment continues to dominate the category. This entry level segment is dominated by fitness trackers from vendors like Goqii, Xiaomi, and Intex.

Fitness tracker device backed by integrated service ecosystem like personal trainer, doctor, and diagnostic in on an exciting momentum.
