In 2015, smartwatch was the largest product segment:
Smartwatches held the largest share of the total wearable fitness technology market because of many additional features in them, other than fitness tracking such as text messaging, phone calls, social media, and music. A smartwatch provides all features of a wristband along with many additional ones, thus it is expected that more consumers would prefer smartwatches over wristbands in the future. It is expected that wearable fitness technology companies would focus on the development of smartwatches focused on fitness applications. In January 2016, Fitbit, Inc. (U.S.) launched a fitness-focussed smartwatch– Blaze at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2016 in Las Vegas.
Handwear segment expected to lead the wearable fitness technology market during the forecast period:
The headwear product category includes smartwatch, wristband, and others (smart glove, and smart rings). More than half of the wearable fitness technology market is held by the handwear category, because it is easier to handle and monitor the devices which are worn on hand. Handwear fitness technology products are likely to explode in popularity in the coming years. The market is abuzz with the talk of smartwatches expected to be launched by leading players. Many leading companies have already launched smartwatches and wrist bands.
