Market Dynamics
Growing Prevalence of Chronic Disorders
Wearable skin adhesives are used to stick wearables for the treatment of chronic disorders. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of chronic disorders such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer is the major factor driving the demand for wearable skin adhesives. According to the WHO, in India, are estimated 77 million people above the age of 18 years are suffering from diabetes (type 2) and nearly 25 million are prediabetics.
Growing Demand for Sports & Fitness Wearables
The increasing use of fitness tracking apps and rising demand for wireless monitoring devices to monitor health problems are major factors creating demand for wearables in sports and fitness applications.Moreover, an increase in product launches along with an increasing sense of health consciousness is driving the demand for these products. Further, the integration of wearables and mobile apps for data extraction has increased the demand for sports and fitness wearables among fitness enthusiasts. The global shipments of wearable devices grew 2.6% year over year to 148.4 million units in Q3 2023, which was an all-time high. This represents an increase from the 492 million wearable units sold in 2022, including smartwatches, fitness monitors, smart wearables, and head-mounted displays. However, shipments declined 0.9% in Q4 2023.

Growing Wearable Adoption to Promote Asia-Pacific Wearable Skin Adhesives Market
The increasing technological breakthroughs and innovations, rising per-capita wealth in developing countries, and the simplicity of use have driven the adoption of wearables across the region. For instance, in August 2023, Bonatra, a health-tech startup launched wearable smart rings. The newly launched smart rings are designed to continuously monitor a range of health parameters, empowering users to live longer and healthier lives. Such advanced wearable launches are further contributing to the global market growth.
Global Wearable Skin Adhesives Market Growth by Region 2024-2031
North America Holds Major Market Share
