Wearable Tech Market Surges as Health-Focused Devices Gain Popularity
Tokyo, January 26, 2026 — The global wearable electronics market is projected to exceed $ 120 billion in 2026, driven by rising demand for health-monitoring smartwatches and fitness bands, according to a new report by TechInsight Global.
Devices now commonly track blood oxygen levels, ECG rhythms, sleep quality, and even early signs of respiratory infections. Companies like FitLife and BioBand are integrating advanced biosensors that provide clinical-grade data directly to users’ smartphones.
“Consumers are no longer satisfied with step counts,” said analyst Hiroshi Tanaka. “They want actionable health insights—and manufacturers are delivering.”
Regulatory approvals for medical-grade wearables are accelerating, especially in the U.S. and EU, opening doors for deeper integration with telehealth platforms.
