HexaResearch.com has announced the addition of “Global Wearable Technology Market Analysis And Segment Forecasts, 2012 – 2020″ Market Research report to their Database.
Wearable electronic devices are integrated with highly developed electronic technologies attached or worn to the human body allowing mobile computing and wireless networking. They work simultaneously with human actions and are connected to smart applications in a network. This technology has possible for growth as it makes daily tasks easier and enhances customer experience. Increased popularity of numerous applications served such as advertising, infotainment, running (navigation) and cycling, surgery, label reader, telemedicine, accessing patient records, project planning, sports brain, remote patient monitoring and among others. The use of cloud computing and Internet of Things (IoT) is also anticipated to enhance the market growth. These technologies are used for remote track incidents like mountain expeditions, natural disasters, etc. Lack of privacy and high costs are some of the factors that restrain market growth.

Depending on the body parts and wearable technology, the market is segmented into finger & wrist wear, body wear, eye wear, neck wear, foot wear and others. The devices under finger & wrist wear segment are smart watches smart rings and wrist bands among others. These devices are able of tracking the patient’s heart rate, activity level, sleep pattern, calories burned, and they are integrated with smart phones where patient can receive and make phone calls. The eye wear category includes devices such as eye tap, smart glasses, and contact lenses among others. Eye taps are fitted with camera that records the sight available and superimposes the original scene. Smart glasses help user in tracking distance, translation, sending messages, navigation, taking videos and pictures and many other functions. The foot wear segment includes smart anklets, smart socks and smart shoes among others. These are mainly used for fitness-tracking. Smart textiles consists the body wear category. These are fabrics which allow electronics and digital components to be fixed in them that offer several purposes such as sports training data acquisition, location tracking and health monitoring. Additionally, applications such as recording changes in the environment, monitoring, sensing and influencing are also made achievable by smart textiles.
