Smartwatches in 2018 accounted for approximately 60% of the overall wearables market, according to GlobalData estimates, mostly attributed to the remarkable performance of Apple Watches, Xiaomi-backed Huami’s Amazfit, and Fitbit Versa. With improving adoption rate in the mature markets, GlobalData estimates more than 10% of the adult population in the US will adopt smartwatches in 2019, with competition in the segment vastly increasing.

Traditional players Apple, FitBit, Garmin, and Polar all have products categorised as smartwatches; however, few have entered the health space, limited to Apple’s Apple Watch.
