Worldwide Wearables Market Shares, 2021: Apple's Market Share Slows While Smaller Companies Gain
This IDC study examines the market share of the major vendors in the worldwide wearables market in 2021."2021 marked another strong year for the wearables market, although much of the volume and value went only to one company — Apple," said Ramon T. Llamas, research director for IDC's Wearables team. "With a loyal fanbase across devices and services, Apple has established itself as the de facto measuring stick against which all other smartwatches and hearables are measured. This does not mean that all other companies have no chance. On the contrary, there are pockets of interest across multiple markets and refreshed experiences are helping Apple's direct competitors gain share."
