(2014 - 2022) and (2017 – 2025)

The global market for wearable medical devices was valued at $3.1 billion in 2014 and is expected to reach $13.5 billion by 2022. Further, the market is expected to reach $XX billion by 2025; growing at a CAGR of XX% from 2017 to 2025. Wearable technology devices form a major part of the Internet-of-Things (IoT), and are predicted to have a significant influence on the fields of fitness, medicine, disabilities, education, transportation, gaming, and entertainment. The increasing demand for industries such as remote patient monitoring devices and home healthcare is expected to propel the demand for wearable medical devices. Furthermore, increasing focus on fitness, growing awareness among the population, rise in base of the aging population, and a healthy lifestyle orientation expected to impact the Wearable Medical Device Market.

Wearable devices are small electronic products, primarily consisting of one or more sensors and having computational capability. They are inserted into devices that attach to the body, such as an individual’s head, feet, arms, wrists, and waist. They can resemble a watch, eyeglasses, clothing, contact lenses, shoes, etc. Wearable devices either capture data or present data and the types of data collected could be as simple as the number of steps taken in a day or as complex as ECG. The wearable medical devices market has grown significantly over the past few years as innovations and advancements in electronics, material sciences, and sensor technologies have allowed various startups to introduce relatively inexpensive and fashionable devices into the market.

In addition, consumer interest in personal health, growing awareness about wearable devices among the population, rise in base of an aging population, increasing benefits from wearable devices and rise in disposable income, are the factors that have helped to propel this market forward. Furthermore, increasing focus on innovations by tech start-ups and favorable government policies are also driving the market in the coming years. Along with these above-mentioned driving factors, there are some restraints which are expected to hinder the market growth in the coming years. Privacy issues, unaddressed regulatory issues, unfashionable products, technical difficulties and cost of these products are some of the restraining factors, which could hinder the market.
