Smartwatch Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
Based on our research output, there has been a negative impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The technological advances in the semiconductor industry is notably driving the smartwatch market growth, although factors such as the increasing data security and privacy concerns may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the smartwatch industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Smartwatch Market Driver
- One of the key factors driving growth in the smartwatch market is the technological advances in the semiconductor industry.
- The major buying criteria for a smartwatch are sleek, a small design, and high operational efficiency.
- Technological advances in electronic components, such as chip system on a chip (SoC) technology and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), are opening new opportunities for smartwatch manufacturers to develop small, compact, and less power-consuming smartwatches.
- Advances in SoC technology have helped vendors to reduce the printed circuit board space and integrate a significant number of electronic components in smartwatches.
- The development of MEMS technology has helped in the development of microsensors and microactuators, which helps in the miniaturization of devices and the development of wearable electronic devices, including smartwatches, that can support new features, such as voice recognition, haptics, and gesture recognition. Hence, this factor will drive the smartwatch market growth during the forecast period.
Key Smartwatch Market Trend
- The increasing number of patent filings by smartwatch manufacturers is a smartwatch market trend that is expected to have a positive impact in the coming years.
- A patent is a license that confers the right or title for a fixed period. Therefore, granting the patent right prevents any other person or company from making, using, or selling an invention.
- Several vendors are focusing on obtaining patents related to displays, cameras, sensors, and other related technologies. This is being done to include a greater number of electronic devices on a smaller footprint and integrate advanced technologies in next-generation smartwatches.
- In the highly competitive global smartwatch market, patent rights enable vendors to gain a competitive edge over competitors.
- For instance, in June 2019, Apple granted a patent to integrate an optical camera sensor in a watch band. The company is adding a separate watch band to smartwatches. The watchband is designed to capture images and videos in a 3600 view. Such instances will boost the smartwatch market growth during the forecast period.
Key Smartwatch Market Challenge
- The increasing data security and privacy concerns will be a major challenge for the smartwatch market during the forecast period.
- The data from smartwatches can be easily decoded using a wireless interceptor without the owner’s knowledge.
- As smartwatches store and access large volumes of data in real-time, including calls, messages, health-related information, and others, there is an inherent risk of a data breach.
- The integration of motion sensors is making smartwatches more vulnerable to hackers. With new technology integration, the risk of cybersecurity increases, as smartwatches often connect to wireless networks. This will have a negative impact on the smartwatch market growth during the forecast period.
This smartwatch market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2021-2025.
