Research and Markets: Global Wearable Wireless Sensor Market 2010-2014 Discusses the Current and Future Landscape of the Global Wearable Wireless Sensors Market

TechNavio's analysts forecast the Global Wearable Wireless Sensors market to grow at a CAGR of 110 percent over the period 2010-2014. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the increase in number of chronically ill and aging population. The Global Wearable Wireless Sensors market has also been witnessing standardization of products. However, clinical and patient acceptance could pose a challenge to the growth of this market.

TechNavio's report, the Global Wearable Wireless Sensors Market 2010-2014, has been prepared based on an in-depth analysis of the market with inputs from industry experts. The report covers the Americas, and the EMEA and APAC regions; it also covers the sports and fitness, professional healthcare, and home healthcare landscape and its growth prospects in the coming years.

Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio's Healthcare team said, The evolution of low-power technology such as Bluetooth 2.0 and 4.0 has increased the adoption of WWS among end-users, making it the most preferred connectivity technology for WWS. However, there are limitations in bandwidth and data transmission capabilities, still it is supporting well for moderate and regular applications. But for high-end use, connectivity solutions such as ZigBee, RFID, ISA 100, and IEE 145.7-2010 are using widely.

TechNavio's report highlights that WWS market is in the initial growth stage, and there is a huge potential with increased R&D for products to suit the next generation sensor devices. The market is experiencing intense growth opportunities and several OEMs are eyeing to integrate backwards, this will result in emergence of new vendors apart from core WWS and wireless sensors manufacturers.

Key findings from the report:

• Increasing Use of Smartphones by Physicians
• High Power Consumption of Wearable Wireless Sensors
• Emergence of Wireless Protocols for Various Applications
