Global Wearable Healthcare Devices Market Segmental Overview
The report analyses the Global wearable healthcare devices market based on device, application, end-use, and region.
Global Wearable Healthcare Devices Market by Device
Based on device, it is segmented into the activity/fitness monitors, diabetes devices, cardiac monitors, neurological monitors, respiratory monitors, body & temperature monitors, hearing aids and others. The activity/fitness monitors segment is likely to account for the significant market share during the forecast period. The key factors attributing the growth of the market is increasing adoption of activity monitors among individuals. Customers can use activity monitors to maintain their fitness over time. They aid in the monitoring of daily activities such as sleeping, exercise, and water consumption, among many others, which aid in the management of a healthy lifestyle. With changing lifestyles and a growing emphasis on personal health and fitness, product demand will rise. Access to personal health data on smartphones is made possible through Bluetooth communication with bands and watches. The sector will increase as these advanced linked products, such as smart watches equipped with fitness trackers, become more widely accepted. Additionally, these activity and fitness trackers are being utilised more frequently in sports and training to improve goal-setting.
Global Wearable Healthcare Devices Market by Application
Based on application, it is segmented into cardiac health, obesity control, diabetes care, fitness monitoring, sleep tracking and others. The cardiac health segment is likely to dominate the market during the forecast period. The largest share of the segment is attributed to the adoption of a sedentary lifestyle has increased the risk of heart attack, creating a demand for cardiac health management solutions. Along with rising disease prevalence, improvements in cardiac disease diagnostics and care have created enormous growth potential. Wearable technology is also being used by healthcare providers to remotely monitor patients' heart health and provide prompt treatment with early abnormality identification. The development of novel gadgets also enables continuous monitoring of cardiac activity and critical care, including wearable defibrillators and patches, among others. For instance, a wearable necklace ECG monitor has been created to detect atrial fibrillation, an irregular heart rhythm.
Global Wearable Healthcare Devices Market by End-use
