The wearable sensors market size is projected to reach US$ 8953.99 million by 2031 from US$ 2524.91 million in 2023. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 17.1% during 2023–2031. Increasing adoption of miniaturized devices is likely to remain a key trend in the market.
A rapid surge in the use of connected devices and smartphones and the growing need for low-power, lighter, smaller sensors with developed performance are the factors establishing the trend of miniaturization. Advancements in micro-fabrication and nanotechnology technologies have been boosting the progress of the miniaturization process, thereby anchoring the emergence of smart fabrics and making smart sensors cost-effective. Future, Abbott Laboratories demonstrated the Libre 3 System, a glucose monitoring system, in January 2022. Thus, the increasing demand for wearable devices drives the global wearable sensors market.
Wearable sensors are sensors that are directly attached to human skin or clothes for gathering biological signals with the purpose of personal healthcare. Flexible thin films of MNPs are deposited on the appropriate substrates for temperature and pressure control as the health signals. With the introduction of the Internet of Things (IoT) technology, all sorts of things are being connected to the Internet. As part of this trend, progress is being made in the creation of mechanisms for collecting data from wearable devices and using artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze this data. Wearable devices such as eyewear, wristwatches, and wristbands are already available. Nevertheless, recent developments include items that can be worn every day, such as shirts, and highly sensitive, multifunctional, and lightweight flexible devices made using thin films and elastomers.
Digital healthcare is an expansive concept that includes concepts that are connected between healthcare and technology. Connected medical devices are a major factor when a patient is to be monitored remotely. These devices are truly transforming the healthcare industry by seamlessly connecting patients and healthcare providers with medical information. For a decade or so, technological advancement has witnessed the beginning of digital healthcare devices that enable patients and providers to reduce the communication gap. Smartphone apps such as connected BP monitor oxygen levels, keep track and generate significant data. Most of the connected devices are equipped with varying capabilities, such as real-time monitoring and high-resolution imaging. This contributes to improving the health of the patient. With digital health technology, patients can receive care from any area of the world. Wearable sensors are widely used in such devices, boosting the market growth of wearable sensors.
Smart mobile devices and the Internet of Things (IoT) have enhanced the development of wearables since they provide many benefits to users and create new opportunities in the market. From consumer wearables that support a healthier lifestyle to medical wearables that help control a patient’s vital signs, sensing components help bring these wearable technologies to life, offering users productivity, a sense of safety, and health incentives. As the wearable industry continues to grow, the need for more compact, accurate, and reliable sensing technologies becomes necessary for proper long-term functionality in wearables.
Key segments that contributed to the derivation of the wearable sensors market analysis are sensor type, application, and vertical.
