Top Impacting Factors
Increase in concern of health and wellness, growth in internet and mobile penetration, rise in concern related to data security, and high cost of enterprise wearables impact the growth of the global enterprise wearables market. These factors are anticipated to either drive or hamper the market growth.
Increase in Concern of Health and Wellness
Rise in chronic diseases such as coronary heart diseases, diabetes, and others increases the demand for enterprise wearables toward growth. Aging population and hectic work schedule are more prone to cause these diseases. Thus, to stay fit, there is an increase in concern toward health and wellness owing to the benefits of wearable such as convenient tracking of data, health, and exercise habits for overall well-being.
Growth in Internet and Mobile Penetration
Mobile devices sales and penetration grows rapidly owing to the increase in acceptance of BYOD among organizations. The variety of services, applications, and functions available on mobile devices leads to large amount of data being stored on devices and transferred to and from devices; which drives the demand of mobile. In addition, increase in synchronization of fitness and medical hardware with a mobile app rather than traditional website to collect data on a continuous basis such as heart rate, weight, and others fuels the growth of the enterprise wearables market.
Rise in Concern Related to Data Security
Enterprise wearables have transformed the traditional working process as it track, monitor and store data automatically through its devices such as smart glasses & helmets, tech-enabled lanyards, cards, and wireless headsets among others. However, data security concern related to data access from Bluetooth networks and Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to hinder the market growth. Further, the increase in threat of cybercriminals targeting organizations through IoT devices, such as smart watches or fitness trackers is expected to limit growth in the coming years.
High Cost of Enterprise Wearables
The high cost of enterprise wearables devices is one of the major restraint that is expected to hinder the market growth during the forecast period. Manufacturers in this market are launching their products in the premium product category. For instance, the ASP of products such as Microsoft HoloLens at $3000, Epson Moverio $699, SonySmartEyeglass at $899, LG 360 VR starting price is $199.99. Hence, the mass adoption of wearables devices is less due to its premium price.
