Wearable
devices market will reach over $150bn annually by 2027Compiled after three years of dedicated and ongoing research by
expert analysts, the IDTechEx Research report Wearable
Technology 2017-2027: Markets, Players, Forecasts details IDTechEx’s coverage
of the wearable technology ecosystem. The report looks at the industry from
many different perspectives, with detailed discussion framing core primary
research and market forecasting. The historical context for wearable
technology products is examined, looking at key yet contrasting sectors
such as medical devices and commodity infotainment items like headphones or
electronic watches. It then focuses on key trends today, ranging from societal
megatrends (e.g. the aging population), to industry-wide innovation trends
(e.g. evolving form factors and interfaces in devices), and finally down to
core player-by-player strategies within industry and product verticals.

Fuelled
by a frenzy of hype, funding and global interest, wearable technology was
catapulted to the top of the agenda for companies spanning the entire value
chain and world. This investment manifested in hundreds of new products and
extensive tailored R&D investigating relevant technology areas. However,
the fickle nature of hype is beginning to show, and many companies are now
progressing beyond discussing “wearables” to focus on the detailed
and varied sub-sectors. Within this report, we include sections on each of
these key product areas, including fitness trackers, smartwatches, smart
clothing, smart eyewear (including AR and VR), smart skin patches, headphones
and more. We also look separately by application sector (including healthcare
& medical, fitness & wellness, professional sports, infotainment,
enterprise, military and fashion), giving detailed case studies within each,
but also discussing the trend that is seeing increasing cross-industry
collaboration and product development.
