The shipment volume of wrist-worn devices in China was 45.76 million units, a year-on-year increase of 20.1%; as the largest wrist-worn device shipment market, China leads global growth. The wrist-worn device market includes smartwatches and wristbands. Among them, the global shipment volume of the smartwatch market in the first three quarters of 2024 was 110 million units, a year-on-year decrease of 3.8%; while the shipment volume of smartwatches in China was 32.86 million units, a year-on-year increase of 23.3%.

This demand is expected to continue growing as residents' requirements for quality of life and experiences increase. IDC predicts that the shipment volume of the Chinese wrist-worn market will reach 62.48 million units in 2025, a year-on-year increase of 3.2%. Pan Xuefei, IDC's Research Director in China, believes that the wrist-worn market is influenced by the launch of new products by leading manufacturers, leading to a recovery in the share of mid-to-high price segments. However, the product lines of various manufacturers are gradually becoming more segmented, covering a broader audience, which has become a noticeable trend recently. The current market is primarily driven by price and channels, awaiting new technological innovations to further enhance product capabilities. With the advantage of fitting the hand, wrist-worn devices may have more exploration opportunities and development space in AI multimodal interaction in the future ### 相关股票 - [VDL (301121.CN)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/301121.CN.md) - [Actions (688049.CN)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/688049.CN.md) - [Garmin (GRMN.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/GRMN.US.md) ## 相关资讯与研究 - [Director Lin-Manuel Miranda will make musical ‘Octet’ into movie](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/281577441.md) - [BAIC BluePark New Energy Technology's Sales Fall in March](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/281501726.md) - [Tasty Bite Seeks Shareholder Nod on Mars Deals and Director Pay via E-Vote](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/281688776.md) - [China Aerospace Times Electronics Issues 400 Million Yuan Ultra-Short-Term Commercial Paper](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/281598599.md) - [Hong Kong’s Exco approves plans for elevated mass transit system in Kai Tak](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/281144460.md)
