Business Wire


DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/29fbqg/global) has announced the addition of the "Global Smartwatches Market 2014-2018" report to their offering.
The analysts forecast the Global Smartwatches market to grow at a CAGR of 115.2 percent over the period 2014-2018. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the entrance of big vendors into the Global Smartwatches market. The Global Smartwatches market has also been witnessing an increase in R&D spending. However, the lack of proper technology standards could pose a challenge to the growth of this market.
The key vendors dominating this market space are Pebble Technology, Inc., Martian Watches, Sony Corp., Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., and Qualcomm Inc.
Other vendors mentioned in the report are Apple Inc., ConnecteDevice Ltd., Metawatch Ltd., and Google Inc.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: The increasing R&D spending on smartwatches is a major trend witnessed in the Global Smartwatches market. Leading vendors such as Pebble, Maritime, Samsung, and Sony have increased their investment in the R&D of smartwatches. For instance, they are partnering with suppliers and value-added re-sellers and investing significantly in R&D. An increased focus on R&D and on establishing partnership networks is helping vendors introduce inexpensive solutions. Further, more focus on R&D is helping vendors introduce products with more accuracy and better integration ability. Thus, the high accuracy and the integration ability coupled with the reduction in smartwatch prices are leading to an increase in the adoption of smartwatches.
According to the report, one of the main drivers is the entry of big vendors into the Global Smartwatches market. Previously, the market was dominated by vendors with relatively low brand image in the Electronic Device industry. However, with the entry of big players in the Electronic Device industry, the curiosity and demand for smartwatches among end-users have increased.
Further, the report states that one of the major challenges faced in the market is the lack of proper technology standards. As the Global Smartwatches market is a fairly new and emerging market, technology standards are still not clearly defined. This can hamper the growth of the market.
