Wearable Sun & Light Tracker Market Trends

Growth Drivers

• Rising Use of Sun and Light Trackers in Clinical Trials– MyLyt, a cost-effective light tracker developed by the LVPEI, received validation in a new study conducted by the L V Prasad Eye Institute in Hyderabad, India, and the Centre for Applied Vision Research at the School of Health Sciences. Clinical trials necessitate reliable and unbiased information collecting, particularly in dermatological and skin condition examinations. Wearable skin and light monitors enable uninterrupted and real-time information on sun exposure.
• Increasing Trend of Wearables – The overall amount of smart wearable devices worldwide increased significantly between 2019 and 2022. This figure was around 1 billion in 2022, an increase from 929 million the previous year. The rising consciousness among people for their well-being has increased the demand for smart wearable devices that are able to provide accurate insights into their health and body.
• Growing Innovation in Sun Tracking– The new development in sun-tracking wearable devices now can send warnings, alerts, and reminders to the user, about the levels of their recommended UV exposure. Moreover, now these wearables can be customized as per the needs of the users, and give personal and real-time guidance according to individual health goals.

Challenges

• Technological Restriction in the Devices- Most of the wearables technology are capable of detecting and measuring actual UV rays but they fail to differentiate between the type of rays, such as UVA and UVB rays. Therefore, this imposes restrictions on the use of the technology
• Concerns Associated with the Data of Wearable Devices
• Uv Technology often Fails to do Calibration
