Wearable Device Sector to Grow at Around 40% CAGR Through 2020, Says Signals and Systems Telecom in Its New Study Published at MarketPublishers.com
London, UK (PRWEB) August 19, 2014 -- Driven by the ability to interconnect with key modern trends of fitness, healthcare, messaging and socialisation, the wearable technology ecosystem is sparking a very high level of interest. Companies as diverse as mobile carriers, smartphone OEMs, health insurers and retailers are circling the ecosystem along with tiny start-ups, all competing for a stake. By 2015, wearable devices are forecast to generate close to USD 20 billion in global revenue on unit shipments totaling 90 million. Over the next 6 years, the sector is projected to grow at a CAGR of around 40%.
The rise of smartphones is widely deemed to be a major driving factor lying behind wearable technology. As of 2014, the total installed base for smartphones stands at over 2.4 billion, demonstrating global penetration of close to 35%, with the latter expected to increase to over 60% by 2020-end. Having hit the mass market, smartphones often serve as the wireless connectivity hub for the majority of wearable devices. Diverse wearable form factors like smart glasses or smart watches are thus widely known as companion devices for smartphones. By offloading processing and connectivity onto a smartphone, the price of a wearable device is significantly cheaper, even more so taking into consideration the cost of sensors continues to decline.
