Wearable Device Market in India

So far the 95% of Smart Phone users are staying away from Smart Wearable, mainly because the value user gets out of it is not commendable for the price. Because most of the Smart Phone users are using mid range Smart phones (10000 to 20000 INR). And spending almost same amount as Smart Phone on Smart Wearable needs a noticable value other than Step Counts. Because even Smart Phone App can count the steps which user makes. Indian Smart Phone users are reluctant to put same amount (10000 to 20000 INR) on wearables for monitoring sleep, heart rate and physical activity.

In Indian competitive market to reach more customer, a Wearable OEM should come with the price tag half of the mid range Smart Phone price (roughly 5000 to 10000 INR) with good set of physical activity monitoring. And also other than physical activity tracking app, much more apps support should come to Wearable OS. For example,

• A news app which pops and displays news based on user subscribed categories.
• Cab booking app integration.
• Online Wallets QR code for receiving money. So that user can show his Wallet QR code to sender without taking out his phone.
• Even QR code scanning with a camera on Wearable.

Ongoing COVID-19 pandemic gives a warning statement that fitness is the key to survival against such virus attack against human mankind. So to keep fit more and more people will start practicing physical activity on regular basis that also will boost Wearable device sales in India in upcoming years.
