Earwear accounted for 11.6 million units in the European market, this category remained the largest product share in the wearable market with 54.8% share. Truly Wireless had the highest market share in the earwear category, with Apple leading the market, followed by JBL and Xiaomi.

 

Although "glasses" are a part of the wearables market, at present the volume sold was inconsequential.

 

Kyla Lam, research analyst for wearable devices for Europe: "Though disruptions in the supply chain continued, the wearable market in Western Europe grew 24.6% year over year (YoY) overall due to the Olympic Games and heightened interest in health monitoring in both the consumer and commercial segments. Basic wearable grew 21.2% YoY, including earwear and smart glasses, while smart wearable grew 39.7% YoY, which mainly includes smartwatches only.

 

Lam added that "In Central and Eastern Europe, the wearable market grew a promising 40.6% YoY overall, clearly showing signs of recovery from last year. With more promotional campaigns and channel expansions, basic wearable grew 38.4% YoY while smart wearable grew 60.3% YoY."

 

In 2025, the wearable market is expected to reach 170.0 million units in Europe and grow at a CAGR of 13.2% in 2020–2025.
