South Korean tech giant Samsung was reportedly the third-largest brand for wearable devices last year, next to Apple and Xiaomi. The report comes from market research firm IDC.
“The market for wearables is also quickly becoming very top heavy as companies such as Apple and Samsung capture a greater share of the market,”said Jitesh Ubrani, research manager for IDC Mobile Device Trackers.“While these giants put pressure on the rest of the market, there continues to be plenty of innovation and differentiaion amongst the smaller brands and this long tail of the market will carry on for the forseeable future.”
