The wearable technology market is broadly classified into product type, application and geography. The segmentation in this research study has been finalized post in-depth secondary research and extensive primary research. Also, we have studied the market segments offered by major players in this market, in order to understand widely used market-specific terminologies and jargons to represent any particular segment. Thus, we have incorporated outputs of this research and have come up with a final segmentation of the market.

Europe holds the third largest share after North America and Asia Pacific. Advances in material sciences have facilitated the country to achieve remarkable compactness in wearable devices, and easy-to-use features of these devices have given a boost to their adoption. However, the high prices of wearable products will continue to hinder the growth of the wearable technology market in Europe. The improvement of wearable for fitness and healthcare applications is a vital prospect that previously remained comparatively untouched. By concentrating on this prospect, companies in the European market can alleviate the negative impact of market limitations to a certain extent. Regardless of the continuous growth of the market, the battery technology is still needs to be developed. The wearable devices need to be charges frequently which might act as a restraint for the growth opportunities.
