\tEnd-user spending on wearable devices was tipped to total $81.5 billion in 2021, as increases in remote working and interest in health monitoring are expected to drive growth of the sector, research company Gartner found.<\/p>\n

The sum represents an 18.1 increase year-on-year from $69 billion spent on wearables in 2020, with the figure expected to increase even further to $94 billion in 2022.<\/p>\n

Ranjit Atwal, senior research director at Gartner, said the introduction of \u201chealth measures to self-track Covid-19 (coronavirus) symptoms, along with increasing interest from consumers in their personal health and wellness during global lockdowns\u201d, presented a significant opportunity.<\/p>\n

Smartwatches and ear-worn devices were expected to account for the bulk of the growth: Gartner said spending on the former grew 17.6 per cent to $21.8 billion in 2020 and predicted $25.6 billion in 2021.<\/p>\n

Growth is being driven by new users entering the market, as new processor technologies and improvements to battery life come to the fore.<\/p>\n

Spend on ear-worn devices rose 124 per cent in 2020 to $32.7 billion and is forecast to reach $39.2 billion this year. This was attributed to remote workers upgrading headphones for video calling.<\/p>\n

Gartner also added smart patches as a new category in their latest wearable forecast, which are essentially health monitoring sensors to track temperature, heart rate, blood sugar and other vital statistics.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe shift to e-health, especially during Covid-19, will transform users\u2019 perceptions of automated health provision and increase the demand for smart patches,\u201d added Atwal.<\/p>\n\n
