Usage of wearable is still at its nascent stage; nevertheless, the dawn of mobile wireless systems and smart phones have sparked a new era for wearable electronics, globally. Gadgets, which were deemed to be just used in industrial and commercial applications are now finding place in mundane activities, enhancing quality of life through various applications such as healthcare, sports & fitness, and lifestyle to name a few. The industry is being driven by various factors such as convergence of technologies, rising number of customers adopting digital services, and due to the presence of wireless connectivity. However, lack of design features, higher power usage of wearable devices, high initial investment and users' concerns regarding data privacy are some of the major challenges for the players operating in wearable electronic space.

The global market for wearable electronics was valued at $4.01 billion in 2013. This includes all forms of wearable electronics, devices, and applications. Lifestyle applications accounted for a major share in the consumer application segment and had 20% market share of the overall market. Further, the market for lifestyle and fitness is anticipated to have the highest growth amongst other applications. Defense and Industrial applications were other major applications, which had over 22% market share of the overall market.

Key Findings of the Report: 

The global wearable electronics product market is dominated by wrist wears, which contributes to approximately 45% of the overall market

In terms of applications, lifestyle and fitness segments account for 38% of the overall pie

The market is dominated by large players such as Google, Nike, Adidas, etc. There are a number of small players in the market, who offer products for wearable electronics.

Typically, smaller firms have limited scope of operations, both in terms of products and geography. In contrast, leading players have integrated operations through their other offerings such as smart phones, and electronics products. These integrated players work with vendors supplying components and aim to build capabilities across the value chain - from components to retailing finished wearable electronics.

However, companies like Jawbone and Fitbit have raised a lot of capital through funding based on their business ideas and are now competing with large players in the wearable electronics space.
