Wearable electronics is expected to continue to see solid single-digit retail volume growth in the forecast period, although smart wearables is the only category set to see growth, with digital activity watches projected to see a fairly static performance. The continuous replacement of activity bands with more sophisticated and increasingly affordable wearable electronics will have a positive impact on prices and value growth.
Activity bands is expected to maintain its declining path in volume terms in the forecast period, as consumers switch to more sophisticated products and search for options with added functions, better design, and higher quality, which can now be found at more affordable prices. Most of the recent entrants in the market, such as Xiaomi, have contributed to category democratisation, by offering good-quality products at affordable prices in activity watches, but also in smart wearables.
Although smartwatches currently dominates smart wearables, other types of smart wearables, including smart glasses and smart rings, have recently been introduced globally, and could enter Chile soon, given its open market policy and its “test market” status in Latin America. Even though smart glasses are cutting-edge technology, it is not anticipated that they will become wildly popular during the forecast period, because they are still in the development stage, and many non-users are reluctant to use them due to privacy concerns.
