The Global Wearable Medical Devices Market was valued at USD 3.7 billion in 2015 and is expected to reach USD 13.5 billion by 2022, growing at a CAGR of 20.7% during the forecast period of 2016 to 2022.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. Currently, the wearable technology has become a major part of Internet of Things (IoT) over the past couple of years; and it is anticipated to have a major influence on various fields such as fitness, medicine, disabilities, education, transportation, gaming and entertainment. These wearable medical devices monitor individual’s health data by means of remote or wireless communication and transmit the data to medical professionals or the user. These devices are autonomous and non-invasive, which help to assess the various health parameters such as body temperature, glucose level, respiratory rate, heart rate, blood pressure, etc.

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 geriatric 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 growing in 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.

Based on type of devices, the market for wearable medical devices is segmented to diagnostic and therapeutic devices. Among these, diagnostic devices further divided into Vital sign monitors, Sleep and activity monitors, Fetal and obstetric monitors, Neuro-monitoring devices, and ECG monitors. And, therapeutics devices is segmented into Pain management devices, Insulin monitoring devices, Respiratory therapy devices, and Rehabilitation devices. Based on the site of application, the market is segmented into Handheld, Headband, Strap, Shoe sensors and others.

Geographically, the market is divided into the Americas, EMEA (Europe, Middles East and Africa), and Asia-Pacific. Asia-Pacific region is expected to display the fastest growth for wearable medical devices during the forecast period. Growing awareness among the population, increasing disposable income, and rising incidence rate of chronic diseases are few factors promoting growth in this region. Whereas, the Americas region is expected to maintain its lead throughout the forecast period, owing to presence of large number of players, immediate acceptance of innovative products by the consumers and increasing demand for wearable devices.
