The increasing focus on fitness within the population is expected to drive growth in the electronic skin patch market. Fitness denotes achieving physical health through regular exercise, nutrition, and lifestyle choices. This trend is supported by heightened awareness of health benefits, advancements in fitness tracking technology, and a cultural shift towards prioritizing physical well-being. Electronic skin patches play a crucial role in this trend by monitoring vital signs and physical activity in real-time, offering personalized health data. These patches improve workout efficiency and health management by providing continuous and accurate feedback. For example, a report by the Sports and Fitness Industry Association (SFIA) in April 2024 highlighted a 4.2% growth in the sporting goods industry, reaching $121.66 billion in 2023, underscoring the impact of the fitness trend on the electronic skin patch market.

Leading companies in the electronic skin patch market are focused on innovating wearable technology, such as microfluidic patches, to enhance functionality and expand applications. A microfluidic patch adheres to the skin to collect and analyze sweat or other bodily fluids. Epicore Biosystems, for instance, launched the Discovery Patch Sweat Collection System in October 2021. This wearable microfluidic patch captures eccrine sweat during exercise or exposure to different environments, utilizing microchannels to transport and store sweat for biochemical analysis. This technology facilitates rapid collection and preparation of sweat samples for detailed analysis.

In December 2021, Boyd Corporation strengthened its capabilities in medical material science by acquiring MBK Tape Solutions. This acquisition bolsters Boyd's expertise in advanced wound care, transdermal patches, and biosensor applications, positioning it as a key player in the evolving electronic skin patch market. MBK Tape Solutions is a US-based provider of high-quality adhesive tapes and related products.
