REPORT DESCRIPTION<br />

<strong>Wearable</strong> sensors are Micro-Electromechanical Systems (MEMs) based sensors which can sense and process the<br />

surrounding environment. <strong>Wearable</strong> sensors are embedded in wearable devices to monitor bodily activities which<br />

include blood pressure, body temperature and heart rate. <strong>Wearable</strong> sensors are commonly used to monitor patients<br />

suffering from a variety of diseases. Demand for wearable sensors is expected to increase from several industries,<br />

such as sports, gaming, and consumer electronics. Demand for advanced tablets and smartphones is on the rise,<br />

which allows integration of smart applications such as wearable sensors to contribute greatly towards the worldwide<br />

demand for wearable sensors. <strong>Wearable</strong> sensors installed in a wide variety of wearable devices allow the devices to<br />

capture and sense motion, images, temperature, pressure, and other elements. <strong>Wearable</strong> sensors are fixed in<br />

devices that can be embedded into footwear, body-wear, eyewear, wrist-wear. This is a priceless asset for those who<br />

need to keep a check on their physical state or even for those who are simply health-conscious.<br />

Increasing application of wearable sensors is expected to expand the global wearable sensor market in the coming<br />

few years. The growing need to manage and monitor personal fitness and security by using smart wearable devices<br />

is predicted to accelerate the growth of the global wearable sensor market during the period from 2015 to 2020.<br />

Technological advancements and dropping prices of wearable devices have boosted the demand for wearable<br />

sensors in the recent past.<br />

Healthcare segment has recently shown a high level of demand for wearable sensors that can be used to monitor<br />

and scan patients. One of the other top end users for the global wearable sensors market is consumer electronics,<br />

smartphones in particular. Another segment that is generating a high demand for the global wearable sensors<br />

market is gaming. All segments employ customized wearable sensors that are built for the specific purpose that they<br />

seek. They all are set to benefit from the technological advancements that are occurring in the various industry<br />

verticals. Two of the most commonly used devices in the global wearable sensors market are fitness bands and<br />

smartwatches.<br />

The introduction of smart devices and smart watches from leading companies such as Nike, Sony, and Samsung has<br />

created new growth opportunities in the global wearable sensor market. Some of the applications of wearable<br />

sensors are wrist wear, foot wear, body wear, and others. Over the past few years, leading players have been<br />

focusing on adopting high-end technologies for manufacturing high-quality wearable devices. In 2014, by
