Market Growth Factors

The aging population of Germany is helping to drive growth within the wearable technology market. In March 2023, the Federal Ministry of Health reported an estimate of medication intake by 30-40% of the population aged 65 years and older for four or more medications. Over 30percent of people at age 75 or older use eight medications or a greater amount. Health-based wearables potentially help the elderly to cope with chronic conditions and to adhere to drugs through their ability for providing real-time health data, for reducing healthcare visits, and for maximizing healthcare system efficiency. Smartwatches and health trackers monitor vital signs, medications, and how the elderly act physically. They also detect when they fall and alert others with features that keep them safe and independent.

The increasing availability of 5G technology will add to the growth of the market as it would help wearables run live updates and provide real-time feedback to health monitoring devices, fitness trackers, smartwatches, and other devices. 5G will help track data such as sleep patterns, blood-oxygen levels, and heart rates. 5G's higher throughput also allows for closer integration with cloud providers, allowing data to be better stored, analyzed and shared with medical professionals to improve disease diagnosis, and also manage and monitor chronic disease. Innovations in 5G are a requirement for the next generation of wearable technology.

Industry collaborates to develop 5G for wearables. Vodafone and Ericsson put in small 5G antennas for increased coverage in German cities during July of 2024. The antennas use less rooftop space a limited resource in urban areas and may be deployed at 500 sites more by 2026. Such initiatives in this area make wearables extremely functional and affordable by allowing constant innovation. In addition, these companies are developing products specifically for the elderly in areas such as monitoring, safety, and remote health monitoring for the elderly, their families, and caregivers.
