Smart clothing market to grow at CAGR of 26.2% from 2019 to 2024

The growth of this market is driven mainly by factors such as rising demand for monitoring bodily activities through sensors and increasing the adoption of smart clothes for various end-user industries. Growing awareness about the need for sports & fitness is expected to create significant growth opportunities for players in the smart clothing market during the forecast period. However, the high cost of products restrains the growth of the market.

Upper wear product type to hold a significant share of the smart clothing market by 2024
