Smartwatch Chips Market Size Worth $3.22 Billion By 2030

Smartwatch Chips Market Growth & Trends

The global smartwatch chips market size is anticipated to reach USD 3.22 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 10.3% over the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The demand for smartwatch chips is likely to grow, owing to increasing demand for smartwatches and growing health awareness. The Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming more and more popular, which is a significant factor driving industry growth. The need for semiconductors that can enable these devices is expected to rise in tandem with the number of linked devices. The extensive presence of 4G networks is also a major factor in the growth of the industry.

4G networks are highly popular, particularly in industrialized nations like the U.S. and Japan. High-speed data transfer-capable smartwatch processors are becoming more popular because of this. The COVID-19 pandemic had a positive impact on the industry. The development of self-monitoring health tools for COVID-19 symptoms and rising public interest in personal wellness and health during the pandemic created a significant growth opportunity for smartwatches. Customers were staying indoors and avoiding busy places like gyms and fitness facilities because of the pandemic. This increased the demand for fitness equipment like smartwatches, which eventually supported the product demand.

According to Stanford Medicine, a new algorithm that measures heart rate using information from smartwatches may be able to predict physical or mental stress and warn wearers before symptoms appear. The algorithm, however, is unable to distinguish between people who have taken alcohol, people who are agitated, or people who have a virus infection. Following clinical studies and the inclusion of further data, it is hoped that this may eventually be able to be used to assess whether or not someone needs to self-isolate. North America held the largest revenue share in 2021 and is expected to retain its position over the forecast period. The regional growth can be attributed to the presence of prominent players, developed technology, and increased R&D activities.
