Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the smart connected clothing industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Smart Connected Clothing Market Driver
The technology innovation leading to product premiumization is one of the key drivers supporting the smart connected clothing market growth. Some of the leading technologies which have brought revolutionary changes across the industry are wireless technology, Bluetooth motion sensors, thermal sensors, and others. These technologies are used as the foundational ideas in the concept of smart connected clothing such as skirts, shirts, jeans, and clothing accessories. Thus, technological innovation forms the basis for the manufacturing of smart connected clothing. Most vendors in the global smart connected clothing market are focusing on incorporating the latest features in their smart clothing through connectivity technologies, which helps them to sell their products at a premium price, and this enables the vendors to earn a high-profit margin on these clothing products. Such factors will lead to a positive impact on the market growth during the forecast period.
Key Smart Connected Clothing Market Trend
Growing product promotion through digital marketing and social media is another factor supporting the smart connected clothing market growth. Social media has proven to be a leading platform for product marketing and customer engagement. The key players in the global smart connected clothing market have their presence in the digital and social media platforms. Through several social media platforms, they operate their marketing activities and product promotions. Moreover, they also describe the concept and benefits of smart connected clothing since most of the customers use one or the other social media sites. Thus, it becomes easy for the vendors to build up sales communication with people and acquire them as potential customers. This is because of wide customer outreach and zero cost of marketing activities. Thus, by the end of the forecast period, digital marketing and social media platforms are expected to be the key growth contributors
Key Smart Connected Clothing Market Challenge
The availability of alternative smart devices is one of the factors hindering the smart connected clothing market growth. There is a significant difference in the price of fitness devices and a piece of smart connected apparel. Leading smartwatch makers such as Apple and Samsung promote their products as cheaper than smart clothing. Producers such as Garmin and Fitbit also offer plenty of features in their smart products. Thus, this factor discourages consumers from buying expensive smart clothes; rather, they prefer to own smartwatches and fitness bands produced by renowned vendors. Hence, the availability of such alternative devices will pose a stiff price challenge for the global smart connected clothing market during the forecast period.
