Analysis of the Application Prospects of TPUs in the Wearable Device Industry - Guangyuan Ruifeng New Materials

Release Time: 2020-06-23

Summary: Smart wearable devices include not only smart glasses, smart bracelets, and smartwatches, but also smart rings, smart wristbands, smart helmets, sports monitoring devices, and smart socks. Currently, smartwatches and smart bracelets show very promising market prospects, followed closely by smart glasses.

Smart wearable devices, in addition to smart glasses, smart bracelets, and smartwatches, also include smart rings, smart wristbands, smart helmets, sports monitoring devices, and smart socks. From the current market perspective, smartwatches and smart bracelets have very good prospects, followed closely by smart glasses.

Wearable devices have gradually become the most popular new technology in recent years. According to relevant data, since 2012, the market value of wearable devices has increased by more than 1000%, and the total value will reach US$12.06 billion in the next three years, with huge potential. It must be admitted that many wearable devices have not yet found a key direction to reach the indispensable position of smartphones.

I. Prospects Analysis of Wearable TPU

1. Become truly wearable accessories

Currently, many users are not interested in wearable devices, mainly because they are not "practical" enough. Whether it is a smartwatch or a fitness tracker, most of them are not beautiful enough, even some smart devices on the market that are called "bracelets" or "necklaces".

2. More diversified health monitoring and medical assistance

Fitness trackers and other devices can tell people how many calories they consume each day, their heart rate during exercise, and may even monitor the surrounding air quality in the future. However, from a macro perspective, the functional direction of wearable devices based on health monitoring is relatively narrow, basically concentrated in the consumer field. We expect them to do more for humanity.

3. More diverse forms

Currently, most wearable devices are mainly worn on the wrist, which limits their further development. However, with the continuous improvement of new sensors, diversified forms are a major trend in the development of wearable devices. Wearable devices with integrated myoelectric sensor fibers and sportswear for monitoring muscle movement have gradually entered people's vision, but these new forms still require Bluetooth sending devices to transmit data, which severely limits their application.

4. Development status of wearable devices

Smartphones took a long and tortuous 10 years to become popular, but the wearable market may not be so entangled. Existing technologies have already achieved certain results, and new technologies are coming faster than expected. At the same time, due to the embedded form and relatively low cost, wearable devices are easier to promote in the world market and are more likely to truly help people improve their quality of life from the aspects of health and medical care.
