“The industrial wearables market is still in it’s infancy, but as technology advances and R&D costs fall, we will see lower barriers to entry and increasing competition, especially in emerging markets”, commented Bill Pennington, Senior Analyst at Verdantix. “Vendors looking to capitalise on this opportunity should look at developing multifunction tools that offer a complete safety workflow solution and reduce the amount of wearables required per worker.”
