The wearables market is experiencing rapid growth, fuelled by increasing adoption of smart devices in a diverse range of sectors, including medical, consumer, and industrial systems. Simultaneously, for engineers, there is an ever-increasing demand to incorporate more functionality in smaller, sleeker devices with longer battery life. This drives the need for compact, low-power components, from near-field communication (NFC) and wireless modules to chip antennas and ultra-low-power micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometers, that enable seamless integration and enhanced capabilities. These components are essential for engineers developing smarter, more feature-rich, and energy-efficient wearables across healthcare, smart home, industrial IoT, personal mobility, and Extended Reality (XR) applications.
