Sales of wearable devices will post double-digit gains each year through 2021, according to a new forecast from International Data Corp. (IDC). Vendors will sell 121.7 million devices this year, according to the forecast, up 16.6 percent over last year’s 104.4 million shipments. By 2021, the company predicts total sales to reach 229.5 million units on the strength of a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.2 percent. Wrist-worn devices will drive the market, according to the company, while “lesser-known wearable products, such as clothing and ear-wear, will experience market-beating growth in the years to come.”
