The growing fitness and health consciousness among people is expected to propel the growth of the wearable computing market going forward. Health and fitness consciousness is a behavior and attitude in which people know how their daily choices affect their overall health. Wearable devices incorporate heart rate sensors that continuously monitor heart rate during exercise and throughout the day. This data helps users gauge the intensity of their workouts, track improvements in cardiovascular fitness, and identify potential health issues. For instance, in December 2023, according to the International Health Racquet, a US-based not-for-profit trade association representing the global fitness industry, found that the number of Americans who were members of a fitness facility in 2022 increased by 3.7% to 68.9 million consumers, a record number for the industry, and overall facility users climbed 8.1% to 82.7 million people. Therefore, growing fitness and health consciousness among people is driving the growth of the wearable computing market.

Major companies operating in the wearable computing market are focusing on technological advancements such as the RISC-V Snapdragon Wear platform in wearable devices to meet the needs of their existing consumers better. RISC-V Snapdragon Wear is an innovative development of a wearable platform based on the RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA). RISC-V is an open-source ISA that allows for the creation of custom cores, fostering innovation and competition. For Instance, in October 2023, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., a US-based designer and manufacturer of wireless communication products, and Google, a US-based technology company, collaboratively launched the RISC-V Snapdragon Wear. The wearables solution built on RISC-V is anticipated to speed up the Wear OS ecosystem's rapid evolution and help original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) cut down on time to market. The RISC-V architecture is a desirable substitute for Arm's designs for wearable platforms due to its affordability, effectiveness, and adaptability.

In November 2022, CardieX Limited, an Australia-based health technology company, acquired Blumio, Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition allows CardieX to incorporate Blumio's advanced sensor technology into its existing products, enhancing the accuracy and functionality of its health monitoring solutions. The partnership is aimed at driving innovation in non-invasive health tracking and expanding CardieX's market presence. Blumio, Inc. is a US-based provider of wearable blood pressure monitoring technology.
