High demand for wearable lifestyle devices: a major market driver

The high demand for wearable lifestyle devices is one of the major factors driving the global wearable sensors market. Consumers use smartwatches, smart bands, and smart rings to monitor daily fitness and health, to track activities, listen to music, watch virtual/3D videos, play virtual games, and access social networking websites. The augmented health awareness among individuals is reflected in the rapid increase in the demand for hygienic and nutritious food, gym memberships, diet programs, and use of mobile health applications. The surge in the rates of obesity and related health conditions such as diabetes, joint problems, high blood pressure, cancer, high cholesterol, gallbladder problems, breathing difficulties, and coronary artery diseases have fueled the need for a healthy lifestyle.

According to a senior analyst at Technavio for research on sensors, “Individuals have been using several connected wearable health and fitness devices such as fitness bands and sports equipment to monitor their health and reduce the risk of diseases. The popularity of wearable devices is the highest among the younger population. Wearable device providers across the world have increased their investments in R&D for the development of innovative products to improve the market revenue and remain competitive in the market.”
