Top 5 Trends in Wearables to Watch in 2024


This IDC Market Perspective lists five predictions and their impact for the worldwide wearables market in 2024. Even as the market takes slow but certain steps toward maturity, new innovations in hardware, software, and services, as well as regional and technological developments, stand to impact the way consumers select and use wearable devices. "Vendors throughout the wearables ecosystem should be attuned to the emerging and dynamic trends of the market," says Ramon T. Llamas, research director with IDC's Wearables program. "The past two years have seen a retrenchment in the market, not due to a lack of interest but following the boom period during the COVID-19 pandemic. Now that replacement cycles are about to kick in and artificial intelligence has made its way to many products, vendors should be prepared for savvier customers who expect more from their devices."

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
