About this Market
While highly fragmented and still at an early stage, it is no exaggeration to say that wearable technology is the most exciting emerging trend in the personal technology market today. In time, a small number of enabling wearable technologies will catalyse what we have termed the ‘wearable web’ which will become a trillion-dollar global industry.
The product segments having the most potential in the medium term are smart watches, smart glasses and a range of related body sensors and accessories. We project that the markets for smart watches, smart glasses and personal health and fitness products will be worth USD 8.0 billion in 2014 and USD 101.2 billion in 2018 – with the vast majority of the growth being driven by smart watches and smart glasses.
