Smartwatch Sales To Double In Next 5 Years




Paul Lamkin , CONTRIBUTORset to almost double by 2022 as “critical mass adoption” takes place. Analyst firm Forrester states that wearables will grow from a $4.8 billion industry last year to just over $9 Billion in 2022, representing a CAGR of 9 percent from 2017 to 2022.

The company forecasts that smartwatches will lead the way, increasing from 21 percent of all wearable tech devices sold in 2016, to a 51 percent share in 2022.

Smartwatch sales are currently dominated by Apple, who recently launched its third-generation smartwatch. In the second quarter of 2017, it’s estimated that the Cupertino tech giant’s Apple Watch series accounted for just under half of all smartwatch shipments. Although Apple keeps tight lipped on exact Watch sales figures, it’s estimated that in Q2 2017, 3.4 million units were shipped. Samsung and Garmin came in second and third, with 800,000 and 600,000 shipments respectively.

So the general idea is that the right device for the market can double from its current base?
Hopefully our device is this kind.
The tier 1 most likely does NOT use the voice portion of the Eos(?), and they might come to be glad they chose it- they can add it so easily?,

QUIK can you get them to use the LPSD so it can listen for
