About the Report

The latest report from TechNavio emphasizes budding alliances between smartwatch vendors and the fashion industry. These days, vendors and consumers alike have started considering the physical appearance of a smartwatch as one of most important criteria and therefore, they are working with fashion designers to develop better, more appealing products.

Apple already invited several prominent names from the fashion industry when they first announced their entry to the smartwatch market, and other vendors are expected to follow suit.

“Watches that combine advanced functionalities with expensive designs are expected to enter the luxury goods market during the forecast period,” says Faisal Ghaus, Vice President of TechNavio.

Furthermore, the report highlights the growing demand for wearable technology in fitness and sports that has been increasing rapidly because of an increase in health awareness among individual consumers.
