The report "U.S. wearable sensors market has witnessed significant growth owing to the advancements in the industries such as consumer electronics, automobiles, healthcare with consumer electronics being one among the major industries causing high demand for smart wearable sensors. The region has become a global focal point for large investments and business expansion opportunities," says that wearable sensors market size is anticipated to witness a surge during the forecast period. This industry is predicted to witness massive growth due to the rising need across several application areas; for instance, lifestyle and security, fitness and healthcare. These sensors detect, monitor, process and analyze the environment.

They are implanted and integrated into materials, for instance garments, wrist-bands, hats and shoes, which can be worn to observe body functions, including body temperature, blood pressure and heart rate. Integrated sensors gather relevant data about the physical and chemical conditions of the body and surrounding local environment, and feed algorithms with this data which produce insightful output. Techno-fashion clothing such as smart clothing is an emerging trend in the wearable sensors market that brings sensors close to human skin for measuring various health and fitness parameters. Bodywear sensors combine integrated circuit technology and computational functionality into textile fabrics and work on fibertronics technology.
