The smartwatches segment growth is driven by evolving into indispensable, medical-grade diagnostic tools that offer real-time monitoring of complex biometrics like stress and blood oxygen. This growth is accelerated by the robust ecosystems of market leaders like Apple and Huawei, who are integrating on-device predictive analytics to deliver hyper-personalized fitness and health interventions.
The smart earwear segment is driven by the shift to meeting the high-stakes productivity demands of hybrid workers while attracting Gen Z and Millennial users through integrated biometric tracking for heart rate and cognitive health. By leveraging Edge AI for low-latency, on-device processing, brands like Sony and Google are ensuring user privacy and superior performance without constant cloud reliance.
The AI transformers segment growth is driven by successfully positioning smartwatches and earbuds as both essential health monitors and fashionable lifestyle accessories. This dominance is sustained by on-device AI innovations from leaders like Apple and Samsung, which enable privacy-centric, real-time biometric tracking without cloud dependency.
The segment is driven by integrating continuous vitals, including ECG and glucose monitoring, directly into Electronic Health Records (EHR). These devices enable proactive intervention for chronic conditions and significantly reduce hospital readmissions. This transition is fortified by strategic FDA clearances for high-stakes features like sleep apnea and AFib detection, effectively turning consumer smartwatches into medical-grade diagnostic hubs.
The sensors segmentation growth is fueled by integrating Intelligent Sensor Processing Units (ISPU) for on-device edge computing. Manufacturers like STMicroelectronics are enabling real-time, privacy-centric health analytics that reduce latency and cloud dependency.
The processor segment is driven by the deployment of specialized neural processing units (NPUs), and ASICs have unlocked high-performance "TOPS" capabilities on battery-constrained hardware, enabling continuous medical-grade monitoring like ECG and blood pressure. As smart glasses and hearables demand real-time visual processing and voice translation, these low-power chipsets have become the architectural foundation for the next generation of autonomous wearables.
Based on regions, North America held the largest market share of 38.9% in terms of revenue in 2022 owing to heavy investment by private players and supportive government initiatives for the adoption of AI technology. In June 2020, Fitbit announced Fitbit Flow, a wearable AI device in response to the lack of ventilators in hospitals and medical facilities around the world that are required to treat critically ill patients. The equipment was intended to serve as an alternative to more expensive traditional ventilators when those are not an option. Similarly, in August 2020, Amazon announced the launch of its flagship fitness tracker the Halo in the U.S., Halo is a smart wearable fitness tracker that tracks mood through voice and scans the wearer's body to measure body fat and provides analysis for the same.
Asia Pacific is expected to register the fastest growth rate over the forecast period owing to collaborations, high investment by private players, and government initiatives for the use of AI wearables for contactless payments. For instance, in 2022, Monarch Technologies partnered with Canna Group LLC to launch Helox, a cashless contactless payment platform for the cannabis industry. It offers a hassle-free way of accepting payments.
