Wearable
medical device are device with sensors attached to the body that detect and
monitor changes in body signatures of various areas and organs.
The
market is driven by factors such as large number of innovators & new
technologies being introduced into the market increase in the incidence of
chronic & diabetic patients, emerging economies presence, increase in
per capita income thereby larger disposable income availability and the ease of
use and interpretation offered by the device.
However,
expensive instruments and reimbursement issues are hindering the growth of the
wearable medical device market.
The
Global Wearable device market can be segmented on the basis of Diagnostics,
Therapeutics, Applications and Geography. Geographically, the market is
segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, Africa and
South America.
Coming
to the applications segment of the wearable device market, the market can be
segmented into categories such as Sports & Fitness, Remote Patient
Monitoring and Home Healthcare. Currently, Remote patient monitoring segment of
the applications market is the largest in the world. Patient monitoring systems
with advanced features, especially wireless or remote capability are among the
fastest growing medical device. The aging population and the associated
increases in diseases such as congestive heart disease and diabetes as well as
the cost of treating those conditions is driving sales of these device. Use of
new patient monitoring technologies can result in a need for fewer personnel,
increased coverage by existing personnel and a reduction in errors and are
expected to lead to better patient care and the recognition of serious health
problems before they become an issue.
It
is followed by the likes of Home Healthcare which is the 2nd largest segment of
the application sector. This can be attributed to the increase in the aging
population and the ease of use offered by the device which does not require
expertise in handling the device and can be used by the layman. This is one of
the prime reasons, the Global Wearable device market is on the rise. Recent
technological advances have been instrumental in the development of Sports
& Fitness sector. New device which can monitor the fitness level, heart
beat rate and other various applications have been helpful in the reshaping of
the Sports industry. This might well be growing at a rapid rate in the future.
The
major players in the market currently are Apple, Google, Microsoft, Acer, LG,
Basis Science, Corventis, Draeger, Everist Genomics, Intelesens, LifeWatch AG,
Nuubo, Omron Corporation, PhillipsFeature Articles, and Zephyr Technology
Corporation.

As Wearable Device
Market Grows, SIM Card Shipments to Rise by 2020
Some 5.6 billion SIM
cards will ship globally by 2020, up from 5.4 billion that shipped in 2015,
according to a new report.
Even as smartphone sales slow in some markets
around the world, global SIM card shipments will continue to rise through 2020,
fueled by increases in the number of wearable device that will be sold by
electronics makers, according to a forecast from research firm IHS
Technology.SIM card shipments are expected to hit 5.6 billion in 2020, up from
5.4 billion in 2015, due to their use in many wearables, said the report, which
was announced on April 13. More SIM cards will ship as smartwatches, health
bands, smart glasses, smart clothes and other products increase their sales in
the marketplace, presenting a growth area for smart-card suppliers and mobile
network operators, according to the forecast.
"There is an
interesting move toward wearable device as companions to smartphones and other
mobile device, such as smartwatches, health bands, glasses and smart clothes,
which present a growth area for smart-card suppliers and mobile network operators,"
Don Tait, senior analyst for IHS Technology, said in a statement. "The
rising number of these device in the market is an opportunity for operators and
card suppliers to increase SIM penetration for both pluggable and embedded form
factors."Wearable device that use SIM cards "have the potential to
increase mobile network operator (MNO) subscribers, leading to more addressable
device for SIM management and increased revenue streams," the report
continues. "Companion device are expected to spur growth in the SIM card
market from 2015 to 2020, according to the IHS Digital Security Intelligence
Service."Sales channels and products are expected to evolve and change
from 2015 to 2020 as Apple, Samsung and other companies change their business
dynamics and models, the report continued.
"The traditional SIM card market is not
likely to implode any time soon, because there are still a lot of legacy
solutions that need to be catered to; however, if and when manufacturers start
changing their business models, we can expect a greater impact on the
market," he said. One change that is expected over the next few years is
that embedded SIM cards (eSIMs) will likely make their way into more
smartphones in the future, the report states. "In 2015, there were no
eSIMs in smartphones with telecom functionality; however, eSIM will be driven
by the Groupe Spéciale Mobile Association (GSMA)" in the near future.
"These new smartphone models are more likely to include dual-mode SIM,
which is a phone with an eSIM card and a removable SIM card. Cellular handsets
will not rely solely on embedded SIMs because of latency issues that need to be
backward compatible."Throughout the marketplace, handsets are replaced
much more often than SIM cards, which can typically be transferred to a new
phone or device. "Should the market move toward an embedded model, the
replacement rate of SIMs would trend toward that of handsets, reducing the SIM
card market size," the report concludes. "However, during the initial
introduction of eSIM cards in handsets, companies are more likely to follow a
dual SIM strategy (i.e. having an eSIM and a removable SIM card in a
smartphone)."To safely approach the future of the market in the next few
years, smartphone makers should include an eSIM and a removable SIM card in
their upcoming device so they can "test the market, similar to what was
done with the advent of mobile payments," according to the report.
"At the time, it was not clear if the SIM or the embedded secure element
would be the solution of choice for mobile payments, so Samsung and other OEMs
went all-in with a dual strategy and offered both" technologies."This
strategy demonstrates the opportunities that arise with targeting the largest
total available market possible and not to vex potential customers with a
strategy that is too rigid," said Tait. "The SIM card industry will
follow a dual SIM strategy."
