Wearable computing devices comprise watches, strips, hats, exoskeletons, vests, shirts, bags, and head-up displays (HUDs) that are worn on the body to monitor calories burnt, sleeping pattern and heart rate of the user. These devices have microchips, wireless communication capabilities, and various sensors for collecting data and enhancing the overall user experience. They also enable the wearer to take calls, browse different internet applications, and read emails and text messages. Besides this, as they offer flexibility, portability, and hands-free use, the demand for wearable computing devices is escalating across the globe.
Rising digitalization across the globe represents one of the key factors propelling the growth of the market. Moreover, wearable computing devices can provide remote assistance and expertise to field workers through digital data, audio, and image. These devices are utilized by sports personnel for activity tracking, goal monitoring, direction, data and location sharing, and optimum performance management. Besides this, wearable computing devices, such as biosensors, fitness trackers, smart health watches, electrocardiography (ECG) and blood pressure monitors, find extensive application in the healthcare industry. They offer a convenient and noninvasive alternative to medical care in clinical settings and enable remote health monitoring of patients. This, coupled with the increasing geriatric population, is positively influencing the market. Apart from this, there is a significant rise in the use of wearable smart glasses in the education sector, which aid in telemonitoring, documentation of lectures, preparing an on-site report, capturing essential points as images, and evaluating student concentration. Furthermore, the rapid expansion of information and communications technology (ICT) is projected to stimulate the growth of the market in the coming years.
