Emergence of innovative wearable medical devices: a key market trend

The global wearable medical devices market has been witnessing a trend of increased innovation. Manufactures are designing wearable medical devices to be more compact, light and ergonomic. Technologies such as system-on-chip (SoC) and chip scale package (CSP (News - Alert)) are enabling the manufacturers to shrink the size of wearable devices. Technological advancements such as 32-bit ARM architecture and wireless technologies like ANT+ and Bluetooth low energy (BLE) are helping the manufacturers to design wearable medical devices that consume low power and thereby have longer battery life.

According to a senior analyst at Technavio for orthopedics and medical devices research, "Many manufacturers have introduced smartphone compatibility for their devices and have integrated them with wireless technologies such as Bluetooth, near-field communication, and cloud-based technologies. Manufacturers have introduced innovative products in the market by leveraging the advancements in technology."

Global market opportunities

In terms of regional dominance, the Americas dominated the global wearable medical devices market, followed by EMEA and APAC in 2016. However, the Americas and EMEA are both expected to witness a drop in their market share over the forecast period which will be absorbed by APAC.
