According to a 2012 study
conducted by IHS, wearable technologies will account for more than $6
billion in sales in the year 2016.
The world market for such
things as smartwatches, health-monitoring bracelets, smart clothing, and
whatever else the geniuses in the R&D departments of today's tech
leaders come up with is expected to hit an estimated 171 million
devices — a greater than 10-fold increase from the 14 million figure
cited at the time of the study.
Of
those 171 million devices, a vast majority will be privately-owned
gadgets worn outside of a work setting for doing things like taking
photos, sending and receiving messages, engaging with social networks,
and the rest of the functions you generally expect from your current
smartphone. (more)
