Global Wearable Technologies, Markets, Forecasts2015-2025: Apple, Accenture, Adidas, Fujitsu, Nike, Philips, Reebok, Samsung, SAP and Roche Dominate the $20 Billion IndustryDUBLIN, Feb. 25, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/m6tvbq/wearable) has announced the addition of the "Wearable Technology 2015-2025: Technologies, Markets, Forecasts" report to their offering. Wearable technology mainly concerns devices and apparel/textiles. Glasses, jewellery, headgear, belts, armwear, wristwear, legwear, footwear, skin patches, exoskeletons and e-textiles are involved and the device business is already large. As the wearable electronics business powers from $20 billion in 2015 to almost $70 billion in 2025, the dominant sector will remain the healthcare sector which merges medical, fitness and wellness. It has the largest number of big names such as Apple, Accenture, Adidas, Fujitsu, Nike, Philips, Reebok, Samsung, SAP and Roche behind the most promising new developments. This report has examined leading indicators of fture wearable technology sales such as relevant Google Trends, patent filings over the years, incidence of diabetes (treatment being a major sector of wearable technology already), cost reduction of the key enabling technologies, increase in functionality that is becoming possible and initial sales of new smart wristwear such as the Samsung watch and fitness monitors. All show that very rapid growth is in prospect. Key Topics Covered: 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS 1.1. What is it? 1.2.
