The global wearable AI market size was valued at USD 31.00 billion in 2023. The market is projected to grow from USD 38.85 billion in 2024 to USD 260.29 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 26.8% during the forecast period.


Artificial Intelligence (AI) is disrupting virtually every industry and with the drastic rise of AI, researchers nowadays are focused on developing wearable AI devices for daily use. It is useful for tracking and monitoring the user's steps, heart rate, moods, sleep patterns, and quality, analyzing the gathered data, and providing warning signals on the device. The technology is under development and at this point, its interaction with real-time users and several applications is being witnessed. Wearable AI technology shows huge potential for both market prominence and profits.


Further, wearable AI devices such as smartwatches, wristbands, smart earwears, and others, are eventually observed for their potential to progress human health and well-being. Now, individuals are able to connect their smartphones to these wearable devices to track various aspects such as steps, heart rate, calories, sleep, emotions, and others. These devices generate ample amounts of health-related useful data for each person to deliver better outcomes and provide health treatment accordingly.


Despite severe restrictions imposed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the wearable AI market continued to show steady growth and limited the pace of growth to only the next couple of years. Due to lockdowns imposed by the government, the supply chain was disrupted, causing losses for manufacturers and retailers. However, smart wearable devices depicted a huge upsurge in demand, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. The population understood the importance of health-related capabilities and analysis obtained from these AI devices to maintain health.


For instance, during the pandemic, WHOOP Inc., a wearable technology provider, collaborated with major research organizations. The deal was centered on developing a COVID-19 identification system integrated into the WHOOP strap that measures respiratory rate with the use of Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and Resting Heart Rate (RHR).


IMPACT OF GENERATIVE AI


Transforming Wearable AI Devices with the Help of Generative AI Drives Market Growth


The integration of generative AI in the constantly evolving smart wearable technology opens up new opportunities for key players in terms of functionalities and personalizations. Generative AI algorithms unveil new aspects to fitness enthusiasts that are more than just heart rate monitoring and footstep counts.
