India Wearables Market Sees Triple-digit Growth in 2020: IDC

The India wearables market posted a remarkable 144.3% year-over-year (YoY) growth in 2020, exiting 2020 with 36.4 million unit shipments, according to the recent data from the International Data Corporation’s (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Wearable Device Tracker.

India was the only country in the top 20 to see triple-digit growth in wearables in 2020 and continues to be the third-largest wearables market globally. This growth was majorly driven by the increasing acceptance of earwear devices and upgrades to watches from wrist bands, both recording their highest annual shipments in 2020.

Earwear device shipments grew more than threefold in 2020 compared to the previous year, mainly driven by the affordable launches, and expanding use cases beyond entertainment like virtual meetings and e-learning requirements. Truly Wireless Stereo (TWS) devices were the top gainer seeing a tenfold increase with shipments totaling 11.3 million units in 2020.

Anisha Dumbre, Market Analyst, IDC India said, “Hearables became one of the most sought-after electronic categories in 2020. The newer version of hearables are much better in managing the increased audio usages and improved aesthetic and design also made them the trendsetter. TWS category saw the much-needed price corrections with several vendors launching devices at more affordable price points leading to the drop in the average selling price of TWS to $45 in 2020 from $110 in 2019.”

4Q20 (Oct-Dec 2020) recorded the biggest quarter for wearables in India, maintaining triple-digit growth. Overall, vendors shipped 15.2 million units in 4Q20, growing 198.2% YoY. This was the first quarter when shipments of watches crossed the one million mark as vendors shipped 1.3 million units during the quarter. Noise’s Colorfit pro-2, Realme watch, Apple’s watch series 6, and new launches from Amazfit provided this strong growth for watches in 4Q20.

Wristbands declined by 34.3% YoY in 2020 since peaking in 2019 as the year ended with 3.3-million-unit shipments. After the introduction of wrist bands into the Indian market, 2020 has been the first year when the category reported a decline. The increasing popularity of watches at similar price points to that of wristbands is the main factor of the decline of wristbands. With 46.7% of the share, Xiaomi continued to lead the category in 2020. Realme, which entered the segment in 2020 finished second with a 12.3% category share.

Watches grew significantly as demand for wrist bands declined during the year. Watches saw a 139.3% YoY growth with 2.6-million- unit shipments in 2020. Noise led the watch category with a 24.5% share in 2020 followed by Realme with a 15.7% share in the year. Smartwatches, which can run third-party applications on the device itself, accounted for a 24.5% share in the watch category, and Apple continues to lead the smartwatch category with a 51.0% share in 2020.

The Earwear category accounted for 83.6% of the overall wearable market share to hit 30.4 million unit shipments in 2020. BoAt emerged as the biggest player in the category, accounting for one-third of the category shipments. Samsung with its portfolio including JBL, Harman Kardon, Infinity finished second with a 14.5% share in 2020. BoAt also led the TWS segment with a 24.6% share, followed by Realme with a 13.5% share in 2020.

Jaipal Singh, Associate Research Manager, Client Devices, IDC India said, “2020 was a year of transition in the audio segment from wired to wireless devices. In 2021, this category will further migrate to more sophisticated devices with enhanced audio experience being the central theme for all vendors,”. He further notes,” The high cost associated with wearable watches is not much of a challenge anymore. Also, the watch form factor is now seen as more appealing to the consumers, and vendors will leverage this shift by further expanding their watches portfolio in coming quarters.”

For a person who makes online searches frequently, finding what you need after seeing everything that you don’t across several web pages shouldn’t be the case. What’s the point in finding the search result in 0.64 seconds then? The next 10 to 20 minutes get wasted browsing unwanted content anyway.

Can this approach retain customers and users? Well, this is what is now set to change with the launch of the on-premise Galaktic search engine in India and its highly personalized, AI-driven approach.

The platform has on-boarded brands across various sectors including Square Yards (Real Estate), Tasaasia (Edu-Tech), Stockal (BFSI), and a leading business house building a marketplace for steel products.

Anirudha Khopade, CEO , Galaktic, said, “The launch of Galaktic in India has catapulted us into the future of search technologies that are natural language friendly, AI-powered, and driven by personalized recommendations based on visitor actions and intent. Galaktic is an affordable tool that can leverage the advanced off-the-shelf capabilities to increase visitor engagement.

Huawei files two patents relating to electric vehicles and the driving system: Report

The Chinese tech giant, Huawei, has over the years established itself as an active player in the car manufacturing industry with several products and solutions aimed at making driving easy and fun.

But according to some new media reports, the company was planning to make a full entry into the electric vehicles market. The move is said to be part of efforts to cushion the effect of the US ban which has resulted in the near-collapse of Huawei’s smartphone business.

The report may have some truth in it after all. A couple of patents relating to EVs have been spotted. Specifically, two patents filed by Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. titled “An Electric Drive System, Powertrain, and Electric Vehicle”. The patents were both filed on October 21, 2021, and have the application numbers CN112436747A and CN112436779A.

The patent description published with the model bearing the application number CN112436747A shows that this application provides an electric drive system, a powertrain, and an electric vehicle, which involves the technical field of electronic circuits. Among them, the electric drive system includes a bus, an on-board charger, a three-level inverter circuit, and a controller.

The second patent with application number CN112436779A is also for an electric drive system, a powertrain, and an electric vehicle, which involves the field of power electronics technology. The electric drive system is connected to the power battery pack and includes a bus bar, a three-level inverter circuit, a DC-DC conversion circuit, and a controller. The controller is used to control the first conversion circuit and the second conversion circuit. The electric drive system reduces the volume and cost.

These are technical terms that may not make much sense to someone not familiar with EV systems but the bottom line is that Huawei may likely be working on its own EV. Do bear in mind, though, that the EV may not arrive any time soon.

Travel is all about creating memories. No matter how big or small a trip, travel can create a long-lasting impression. We must preserve these travel memories to help them stay around for years for our pleasure and to share with family and friends.

While planning a trip, it is a must to take a quick check on the storage space available on our devices. All those pictures, videos, music, maps, travel apps take a lot of storage space on our devices and smartphones.

When we don’t regularly declutter our devices and our phones, they begin to slow down thus not allowing us to have an optimum experience. The easiest way to declutter our devices is by taking regular backups and having enough storage space, be it on an external storage device or an internal memory card.

Here are 3 storage solutions that are a must-have in your travel kit are:

SanDisk Extreme PRO microSDXC UHS-I card

Using the right microSD card is crucial. Without an efficient card to store images and videos on, even the most sophisticated device won’t perform at its best.

The card SanDisk Extreme PRO microSDXC card is shockproof, temperature-proof, waterproof, and X-ray-proof, so you can enjoy your adventures without worrying about the durability of your memory card.

SanDisk Extreme Pro SSD

While we are on the go we must-have storage solutions that are reliable and durable. Even as we travel, we are constantly sharing images and content on social media platforms or sending some pictures, or vlogging our trip. The SanDisk Extreme Pro SSD is the perfect travel companion to keep up with all these demands. The SanDisk Extreme Pro SSD is designed using Western Digital’s in-house NVMe technology to dramatically increase transfer speeds up to 1050 MB/s letting you move files faster and edit right from the drive.
