The latest Wearables Profile Report has been published. This report provides a side-by-side view of different consumer profiles, offering an easy way to view differences among the consumer base. The report leverages the same data as the Ownership and Usage reports.
As we saw in the Ownership report, the consumer base for smartwatches has stalled at 38 percent in the past six months, after a previous surge in ownership. This flattening has happened despite the fact that 40 percent of activity tracker owners said they plan to upgrade to a smartwatch.
In the previous wave of the report (six months ago) we saw a significant increase in smartwatch ownership, up from just over 31 percent to 38 percent. It was a solid boost, driven by smartwatch upgrades and consumers migrating over from activity trackers. But fast forward six months and the market has stalled again with effectively no ownership increase. Sales showed a similar story, with year over year sales down 34%.
