Segmentation

By Type: By type, the global wearable materials market can primarily be categorized into pure MDI, polymeric MDI, and modified MDI.

• Silicone—The silicone segment accounted for the largest share of the global wearable materials market in 2018 and is expected to register significant growth during the review period. Silicone is widely preferred in medical devices owing to its selective adhesion property. Additionally, silicone possesses superior binding properties and is soft, which makes it suitable for use in smart clothing.

• Polyurethanes—Polyurethanes are used in medical devices worn by the consumers as they enhance the level of comfort when worn. The increasing demand for thin and flexible wearable materials is expected to drive the growth of the segment.

• Fluoroelastomers—Fluoroelastomers are dense and resistant to chemicals and extreme temperature. These materials are durable, comfortable, and luxurious look and thus, are mostly commonly used in applications such as wristbands and smartwatches. The superior properties of fluoroelastomers such as color stability, abrasion resistance, ozone resistance to cracking, and colorability make them the preferred choice of material for premium wearables.

By Application: Based on application, the wearable materials market has been segmented into rigid foam; flexible foam; coatings, adhesives, sealants, & elastomers; and others.

• Fitness Trackers—The fitness trackers segment accounted for the largest share of the global wearable materials market in 2018. Some of the well-known fitness trackers include smartwatches, wristbands, ear wear, and medical devices. The growing demand for smartwatches in the developing markets is likely to drive the segment’s growth. Factors such as the growing popularity of the Internet of Things and increased spending on fashion products are also contributing to the segment’s growth. The increasing demand for medical devices to monitor health particularly in the developed markets is another important factor propelling the demand for wearable materials. Furthermore, the surge in the demand for ear wear device is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the players operating in the global wearable materials market.

• Smart Glass—Smart wearable glasses are devices that can display the information on the glass lenses. These technologically advanced smart glasses can also communicate with systems such as voice, finger sweeps, or signs. Samsung and Google are the top manufacturers of smart glasses. The demand for smart glasses is likely to increase to manage field service & assembly, navigation & map services, and security solutions.

• Smart Clothes—The cloth manufacturers such as OMsignal and Nadi X are incorporating devices in the sports clothing to track fitness metrics of distance, calorie burn, fatigue levels, and heart rate. In addition, the companies manufacturing fashionable clothes are collaborating with IT companies to incorporate chips in clothes. For instance, Levi’s collaborated with Google to produce denim jackets which can be connected to smartphones via Bluetooth.

• Wearable Camera—The adoption of wearable cameras across residential and commercial applications is increasing owing to advantages, e.g., handsfree operations. In addition, the increasing tendency to upload photographs on social media platforms coupled with easy accessibility of the internet and high-speed data networks has resulted in increased demand for wearable cameras and thus, wearable materials.
