The global wearable medical devices market size is expected to reach USD 168.29 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 25.53% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is experiencing growth driven by an increasing demand for high-tech products and the growing trend of continuous health monitoring.
The rising obesity rate and a heightened awareness of physical fitness, is motivating individuals to engage in workouts and adopt fitness-related activities. Wearable devices like smartwatches and smart bands play a crucial role in monitoring various fitness parameters, including calories burned, step count, heart rate, and distance covered. Companies such as Google, Fitbit, Apple, and Nike are actively launching innovative products, particularly focusing on smartwatches and wristbands, contributing to a surge in product availability.
The COVID-19 pandemic has positively impacted the market, driven by the increased demand for telemedicine. WHO guidelines promoting social distancing and discouraging public gatherings have led to a preference for telemedicine among physicians, enabling remote patient treatment without the risk of virus transmission. The growth of telemedicine, coupled with the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into its systems, has further propelled the expansion of the wearable medical device market.
