Wearables, specifically wearable AI, have an incredibly high market value, and it only seems to be growing more rapidly as the years go by. Wearable AI devices were once few and far between, but now they seem to be coming out of the woodwork. Devices like the Meta Ray-Ban smartglasses helped popularize the category of tech to a level that really wasn’t present in the space prior to their launch. Since then, we’ve AI pins (Apple is reportedly developing one, hoping for more success than Humane), more smartglasses, including a pair from the ASUS ROG team for gamers, and Razer has even announced a new headset with built-in AI tech.
The wearable AI market value is expected to reach $208.39 Billion by 2032
If you were wondering just how much growth potential the wearable AI market has, the value placed on it is $209.39 Billion. A report by Polaris Market Research suggests it could hit this amount by 2032. The jaw-dropping detail is what it’s climbing to that amount from.
According to the report, the value of this market segment was just $34.46 Billion in 2024. So in only 8 years, the wearable AI market is expected to grow by $173.93 Billion. That’s a pretty staggering amount if you consider how long wearable AI has been around in some form, and how long it took for it to reach that $34.46 Billion.
The report also sheds light on what plays a big part in this explosive growth. In other words, what has been helping the segment grow at such a rapid pace. It boils down to how wearable AI devices help users and what they can do now compared to before. It’s no longer about just basic tracking, but the ability for these devices to deliver “actionable insights, personalized recommendations, and hands-free automation.” And not just to everyday consumers, but enterprise customers as well. Wearable AI spans eyewear and smartwatches most commonly, but by 2032, it will grow to include more smart earwear and even smart apparel.
