The smart wearables market saw a steady growth in Q1 of 2015, says research firm IDC, with over 11.4 million wearables getting shipped in this time period globally.
According to IDC data, this 11.4 million in Q1 represents a 200.0 percent increase from the 3.8 million wearables shipped in Q1 of 2014. Over 40 percent of the devices getting sold are priced under $100, adds the report.
So which OEMs are leading in the wearables market? Fitbit remains on top and continues the lead it has maintained since 2014, says IDC.
Fitbit’s release of three new devices named the Charge, Charge HR, and the Surge in Q1 of 2015 helped boost sales.
