<strong>Wearable</strong> <strong>Sensors</strong> <strong>Market</strong><br />
In the recent past, wearable technology has witnessed an overwhelming attention from various<br />
industries and researchers across the globe. From smart watches to headphones to eye-wear and fitness<br />
bands, trends of wearable technology is continually growing. These products today are expected to<br />
deliver valuable services providing individuals better lifestyle. <strong>Wearable</strong> sensors are small but crucial<br />
components of wearable technology which enable smart wearable devices to track and monitor several<br />
parameters such as movements, temperature, speed, muscle activity blood pressure, and others. Key<br />
sensors such as accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, photoplethysmogram sensor, pressure<br />
sensors, and temperature sensor, among other are required for smart wearable devices. The wrist worn<br />
wearable for entertainment, wellness and fitness related applications, are key contributor to the rapidly<br />
growing market traction for these devices. Moreover, high demand and penetration of smart wearable<br />
devices have resulted in increasing demand for wearable sensors.<br />
<strong>Wearable</strong> <strong>Sensors</strong> <strong>Market</strong>: Drivers and Restraints<br />
Increasing adoption of wearable devices globally are thereby increasing the demand for wearable sensors<br />
alongside. In addition to this some of the prominent drivers for wearable sensor market are factors such<br />
as high demand for medical wearable devices, miniaturization of sensors and trends of internet of things,<br />
augmented reality and machine to machine connected platforms among others. On the other hand,<br />
factors such as high cost of wearable devices, and concerns regarding reliability and privacy issues may<br />
act as a major restraint for the wearable sensor market.<br />
