Wearables to resume growth this year

Posted on: 03/23/2023

Although 442.7 million devices are forecast to be sold this year. Q1 will see a decline in shipments thanks to excess inventory which is depressing both shipments and ASPs.

IDC expects these wrinkles to be ironed out by H2 with growth to continue well beyond 2023 as shipments reach 644.5 million in 2027 with a CAGR of 5.4%.

“What makes 2023 different is that it marks the start of replacement cycles and there are plenty of devices – available at different feature sets and price points – available,” says IDC’s Ramon Llama
