Wearable Computing Devices Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
The increasing technological advancements is notably driving the wearable computing devices market growth, although factors such as the high cost of wearable devices 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 wearable computing devices industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Wearable Computing Devices Market Driver
One of the key factors driving the global wearable computing devices market growth is the increasing technological advancements. Because of the increasing number of technological advances by various major vendors, wearable technology is quickly evolving into a prominent technology segment. Innovations have given the hearable devices a significant boost. Nuheara Ltd., for instance, released the IQbuds MAX advanced hearing buds in January 2020, which have hybrid active noise cancellation and unique capabilities to personalize and enhance the wearer's soundscape. With the advent of AR and virtual reality (VR) applications, head-up displays, which have significant applications in the defense and military sectors, are increasingly extending to the consumer and enterprise segments. Such factors will drive market growth during the forecast period.
Key Wearable Computing Devices Market Trend
An increase in health awareness and new product launches is one of the key wearable computing devices market trends that is expected to impact the industry positively in the forecast period. For instance, the Apple Watch, developed by Apple Inc. and operated with Watch OS, comes with FDA-cleared electrocardiogram features. The Apple Watch Series 7 features a new S6 processor that is up to 20% faster than its predecessor, a brighter always-on display, a blood oxygen app, an always-on altimeter, and new health sensors. Furthermore, according to a survey conducted by HIMSS and AT and T, 47% of hospitals deliver wearables to patients with chronic conditions, and 47% conduct remote monitoring via in-home medical devices and smartphone apps. Such factors will further support the market growth in the coming years.
Key Wearable Computing Devices Market Challenge
One of the key challenges to the global wearable computing devices market growth is the high cost of wearable devices and short battery life. While having a device that needs to be charged every 8 to 12 hours may seem natural, they become less attractive when that requirement is imposed on wearables. If the market wants to see wearables take off, it must solve the problem of limited battery life. On the other hand, batteries can be rather heavy and huge, especially if they should last a long time. Smaller batteries require more frequent charging. However, that should not happen every few hours when it comes to wearables. This is especially true for wearable gadgets that provide a critical function, such as medical devices. Thus, limited battery backup may hinder the market growth during the forecast period.
This wearable computing devices 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 2022-2026.
