Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Key Wearables Market Driver in US
The increasing focus on fitness and healthy lifestyle orientation are notably driving the market growth. Wearables offer a simple and convenient way to track physical activity, keep tabs on one's health, and reach fitness goals. Consumers now have become extremely health conscious and are, therefore, using such products to achieve their fitness goals. Thus, wearable fitness technology, such as fitness trackers and smartwatches, has become increasingly popular in recent years, with Fitbit, Garmin, and Apple dominating the market.
In addition to apps and other features that assist users in setting and achieving their fitness goals, these devices offer a variety of features, such as heart rate monitoring, step tracking, calorie counting, and sleep tracking. The adoption of wearable electronic devices is anticipated to increase as a result of the market seeing an increase in the number of apps that are compatible with wearable electronic devices. Hence, such factors are anticipated to fuel the growth of the US wearable market during the forecast period.
Significant Wearables Market Trends in US
The growing number of partnerships and M&A activities are emerging trends in market growth. In the US, the wearables market is still in its development phase. The market vendors are acquiring other vendors that sell wearable technologies and forming strategic alliances with other participants. By utilizing the technology and technical expertise of the market participants, these partnerships and M&A activities allow vendors to create cutting-edge products. A wearables electronic device ecosystem is created as a result of such activities, which will accelerate the adoption of wearable technology. For instance, in order to stay competitive in the market, AR smart glass vendors team up with manufacturers of AR hardware and AR technology.
When selecting a smartwatch or smart band, consumers focus on wearable electronics' compatibility with mobile computing devices, their usability, and their aesthetic appeal. Hence, to ensure that their products appeal to customers, market vendors are forming strategic alliances with fashion designers, technology companies, software developers, and other business stakeholders. Therefore, such factors are expected to support the growth of the US wearables market during the forecast period.
Major Wearables Market Challenge in US
The growing market for counterfeit products is a major challenge impeding the market growth. All of the well-known products from top manufacturers, including Apple, Samsung Electronics, Fitbit, and Xiaomi, are available in abundance as counterfeit copies in the market. As they are more popular with local consumers than other wearable electronic devices, smartwatches and smart bands are the most counterfeited products in the market.
Owing to the availability of these products through a variety of distribution channels, including brick-and-mortar stores, online retailers, and social media platforms, it is very challenging to gain control of the counterfeit market. Additionally, as these products are considerably less expensive than the original products, there is an increase in the sales of such products. As a result, the market revenue is significantly reduced. The sale of these fake products endangers consumers' security and privacy, according to their point of view. Customers use many of these products as payment methods and for keeping track of their health. Customers frequently are unaware that these products don't adhere to the same security standards as the original products, which puts their data security and privacy at risk. Hence, the growth of counterfeit wearables electronic sales is expected to limit the growth of the US wearables market during the forecast period.
