Wearable Sensors Market Segmentation:
Sensor Type (Accelerometers, Optical, Pressure& Force, Temperature, Touch, Motion, Medical Sensors)
Based on sensor type, the accelerometers segment is likely to register robust growth in the wearable sensors market during the forecast period owing to high usage of accelerometers activity tracking, movement, and orientation and high focus on expanding the applications of accelerometers in the healthcare sector. For instance, many accelerometer-based wearable devices are available in the market with fall detection, mobility monitoring, and emergency alerts to assist the elderly population. In addition, advancements in technology like micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) have resulted in the development of compact, lightweight and power-efficient accelerometers.
Device (Smartwatch, Fitness Band, Smart Glasses, Smart Fabric, Bodywear, Footwear)
The smartwatch segment is expected to account for a significant wearable sensors market share by 2034, due to the rising prevalence of several chronic diseases, increasing need for advanced smartwatches for remote patient monitoring, and growing awareness about importance of wearable technology, including smartwatches. According to a statistic, around 225 million people used a smartwatch in 2024. This can be a result of the benefits such as health and fitness tracking, enhanced convenience, and connectivity, along with emergency features and personalized insights available in the new generation of smartwatches. For instance, in September 2023, Apple launched a new Apple Watch Series 9 with enhanced performance and capabilities and features such as watch faces, new cycling and hiking features and tools supporting mental health.
