U.S. Wearables Market Shares, 2021: Apple and Earwear Rule
This IDC study examines the market shares of major vendors in the U.S. wearables market in 2021."2021 was a year of retrenchment in the U.S. wearables market," says Ramon T. Llamas, research director, IDC's Wearables team. "Hearables — wildly popular during the pandemic in 2020 — finished the year flat. Meanwhile, watches — once the darling of the wearables market — saw volumes decline as fewer devices arrived. However, this does not mean that the wearables market is heading for certain decline going forward. Instead, it will reach maturity as few first-time users are found and more users seek replacements."
