LONDON, May 30, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Summary
The wearable payments market is still very much in its infancy, with most companies in this space still experimenting with form factors and functionality. Apple has emerged as a frontrunner with its payments-capable Apple Watch, but it is far from the only high-profile company in this space. With the market in its current state it is far too early to call Apple's first-mover advantage decisive, and while this space is likely to see a lot of attention and investment in the coming years it is impossible to predict which companies will dominate.

Key Findings
- 25% of consumers globally possess a wearable device of any type (regardless of whether that device is capable of making payments).

- Features and pricing are the two most important factors driving purchases of wearable devices.

- China is the most immediately attractive market due to its sizable population and high proportion of potential early adopters.
