Germany acquired the largest market for wearable technologies with a share of 32% in 2012. Technological innovations presented through various conferences on wearable technologies have created awareness and increased its adoption in the country. An example of such conference is Wearable Technology Conference (WTC) in Germany conducted by Wearable Technologies Service GmbH, a key player in the European market. In addition, developments are taking place in the field of self powering wearable devices in the country. A large number of developments have been taking place in the wearable technology market in UK. In 2014, Wearable Technology Show was held in London which showcased innovative products in wearable technology.
Moreover, the UK show also saw an alternative to Google glass, Optinvent Ora. These augmented reality glasses put a see through screen which is three times larger than the Google Glass. Active developments are also taking place in the field of smart clothing. A UK based textile firm Intelligent Textiles develops electrically active woven fabrics for commercial products ranging from body armor to heated bedding and garments connected to iPods. Owing to all these technological developments and new product launches, the demand for wearable technology is expected to rise in UK in the coming years and thus the region is analyzed to grow at a CAGR of 41.8% over the forecast period. Scandinavian region include three countries namely Denmark, Norway and Sweden. Wearable technology market players in these countries are involved in the development of new wearable products through technical innovations. In Sweden, scientists are developing ways to power wearable devices through blood. These devices will use naturally occurring processes in human body to generate electricity. The developments in Denmark and Sweden are steady however; they are expected to increase with the entry of key players in these counties. Thus, the country is analyzed to witness a CAGR of 43.1% over the forecast period of 2014 to 2019.
