U.S. Smartwatch Market Shares, 2021: Apple Loses Share, Samsung Gains Ground
This IDC study examines the market shares of the major vendors in the U.S. smartwatch market in 2021."2021 was a year of retrenchment for the U.S. smartwatch market," says Ramon T. Llamas, research director for IDC's Wearables team. "Apple remained out front with a commanding lead in market share, but developments around Wear OS' relaunch coupled with the end of Tizen and RTOS being cut nearly in half will see a marked shift among the smartwatch platforms and companies going forward."
