Opportunity: Growing preference for AI-sensor enabled wearables

Wearables based on AI sensors form one of the fastest-growing markets. Smartwatches and ear-worn devices are the leading market segments. This market is projected to account for USD 265.4 billion by 2026, registering a CAGR of 18.0% during the forecast period. Spending on hearables increased by 124% in 2020, and global shipments of wearable technology reached 570 million units in 2021 at a CAGR of 16.6% (Source: MarketsandMarkets). This growing preference for wearables will likely boost the market for AI sensors. The adoption of wearables is growing rapidly as users increasingly focus on improving their overall health and fitness, driving the demand for fitness and medical tracking equipment. This, in turn, drives the demand for AI sensors. These sensors are used in applications such as smart glasses/goggles; ring/fingerworn scanners; footwear such as athletic, fitness, and sports shoes; wristwear such as advanced electronic watches and wristbands; smart textiles; and headbands & neckwear. Bosch Sensortec (Germany) has started actively working on the wearable technology market.

Challenges: Lack of skilled workforce

The AI sensor market is growing rapidly, and there is a significant shortage of trained professionals with the skills and expertise necessary to develop and maintain AI sensor systems. This shortage of skilled workforce is a major challenge for companies operating in this market and can limit their ability to innovate and compete effectively. One of the main reasons for this shortage is the relatively new nature of the field, due to which few educational programs and training opportunities are available for those interested in pursuing careers in AI sensors. Additionally, the complexity of these systems requires a broad range of skills, including expertise in cognitive computing, machine learning, deep learning, image recognition technologies, data analytics, computer vision, and signal processing. Integrating AI solutions into existing systems requires extensive data processing to replicate the behavior of a human brain. Even minor errors can result in system failure or malfunctioning of a solution, affecting outcomes and desired results. This can make it difficult for companies to find individuals with the necessary skillsets to fill these roles.
