The connected wearable patches market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $10.78 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.9%. The growth expected in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing integration of AI and IoT in healthcare, heightened focus on personalized medicine, rising investments in wearable health technology startups, an expanding elderly population needing continuous monitoring, and greater acceptance of preventive healthcare solutions. Key trends during this period include advancements in sensor miniaturization, sophisticated data analytics for health insights, innovations in battery and energy harvesting technologies, integration with telehealth platforms, and the adoption of cloud-based health data storage.

The growing awareness of fitness and wellness is expected to drive the expansion of the connected wearable patches market. Fitness and wellness awareness involves understanding the significance of regular physical activity and healthy lifestyle choices for overall health. This increase in awareness is largely due to rising concerns about chronic diseases, motivating people to adopt healthier habits for long-term well-being. Connected wearable patches support this trend by continuously tracking vital health indicators, offering real-time feedback, and encouraging users to remain active and maintain better health practices. For example, in May 2022, a survey conducted by the International Food Information Council, a US-based non-profit organization, involving 1,005 American adults aged 18-80 and Gen Z consumers aged 18-24, found that approximately 52% of participants followed a specific diet or eating pattern, up from 39% in 2021. The most popular approaches included clean eating (16%), mindful eating (14%), and calorie counting (13%). Consequently, the rise in fitness and wellness awareness is propelling growth in the connected wearable patches market.

Leading companies in the connected wearable patches market are advancing technologies such as sweat-sensing biopatch platforms to offer real-time, personalized hydration insights for industrial workers. A sweat-sensing biopatch combines multiple biosensors to monitor fluid and electrolyte loss, body temperature, and movement patterns continuously, enabling proactive management of hydration and heat stress. For instance, in April 2024, Epicore Biosystems, a US-based digital health firm, introduced Connected Hydration along with a mobile app. This next-generation wearable patch system is designed to help industrial workers avoid dehydration and heat-related injuries by providing real-time data feedback. The solution features a flexible, non-rechargeable biopatch with a 1,000-hour battery life, real-time dehydration alerts through haptic feedback, and an app to track fluid intake and biometric trends. It is ruggedly built, certified for use in hazardous environments, and incorporates machine learning trained on over 420,000 field data points.

In November 2023, DuPont, a US-based chemicals company, collaborated with STMicroelectronics to create a smart wearable device for remote biosignal monitoring. This partnership leverages DuPont’s expertise in flexible patch design, medical-grade silicone materials, and rapid prototyping, combined with STMicroelectronics’ advanced sensors, microelectronics, and AI-powered technology. STMicroelectronics is a Switzerland-based firm specializing in advanced connected wearable technologies, including sensors.

The connected wearable patches market consists of revenues earned by entities by providing services such as remote patient monitoring, glucose monitoring services, and cardiac monitoring services. The market value includes the value of related goods sold by the service provider or included within the service offering. The connected wearable patches market also includes sales of vital signs monitoring patches, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) patches, and transdermal drug delivery patches. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is, the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.

The market value is defined as the revenues that enterprises gain from the sale of goods and/or services within the specified market and geography through sales, grants, or donations in terms of the currency (in USD unless otherwise specified).

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The fast surge in U.S. tariffs and the trade tensions that followed in spring 2025 are heavily affecting the medical equipment sector, particularly for imported imaging machine components, surgical-grade stainless steel, and plastic disposables. Hospitals and clinics resist price hikes, pressuring manufacturers’ margins. Regulatory hurdles compound the problem, as tariff-related supplier changes often require re-certification of devices, delaying time-to-market. Companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing critical parts, expanding domestic production of commoditized items, and accelerating R&D in cost-efficient materials.
