Classroom Wearables Technology Market in the US 2016-2020

Classroom wearables technology market overview in the US

According to classroom wearables technology market report, the market in the US will grow profoundly at a CAGR of nearly 46% by 2020. Wearable devices come in a wide array of shapes and sizes and have completely changed the way data is communicated, collected, and analyzed. In the US, factors such as the mass adoption of technological innovations like tablets and learning management systems (LMSs) by educational institutions will facilitate the penetration of wearable technology in classrooms. As an educational tool, wearable technology provides opportunities for students to enhance their learning and creative skills. Technologies like the Oculus Rift, which is a virtual reality device, helps students and teachers to get involved in experiential learning. Since these technologies help students to enhance their overall learning experience, their demand among end users in the educational sector will increase significantly over the next few years.

An important trend that will impel the prospects for growth in this market is the decreasing prices of wearable devices. Recently, it has been observed that the cost per function of ICs has been declining rapidly. This reduction in the cost of ICs has had a positive impact on the global system on chip (SoC) market, which in turn has reduced the price of wearable devices. This significant decline in the prices of wearable devices will augment its adoption rate among education institutions, which typically buy devices in bulk quantities.
