Electronics giant companies push smart-wear devices or buy boom

The annual World Mobile Communications Conference (MWC) will be opened in Barcelona, Spain, on February 24. At the International Consumer Electronics Fair (CES), a number of electronics giant companies pushed smart-wear devices to make CES a "wear show", which is expected to continue on the MWC. In the face of huge business opportunities, Samsung, LG, Sony and other electronic giants, as well as some Chinese enterprises are expected to launch the new smart hand ring and smart watches and other wearable equipment.　For investors, the potential opportunities available in these equipment supply chains are more noteworthy. The giant or the new wearable equipment research firm Canalys's latest report says 2014 will be a year in which wearable technology is transformed into consumption, including smart watches and fitness-tracking wrist bands, the two most common forms. At the upcoming World Conference on Mobile Communications (MWC) next week, a number of giants will display the exhibits. According to the U.S. Science and Technology website THEVERGE19 Day report, South Korea Samsung Electronics or will be released on the MWC of a variety of new Galaxy Gear wearable equipment. The release is only half a year away from the first generation of Galaxy Gear, and the first generation Galaxy Gear has been criticized for its battery life, strange appearance and intuitive interface. According to Reuters, the new Galaxy Gear will run the Tizen system, improve the first generation of heavy design and improve the number of compatible smartphones. The first generation of Galaxy Gear runs the Android system. Industry insiders commented that Samsung's intention to move away from the Google platform in different market segments has become increasingly apparent. Moreover, one of Samsung's strongest rivals, South Korea's LG Electronics, is also to be outdone by the introduction of wearable devices on MWC, the smart watch G arch and the Smart hand ring G Tiyatien. G Arch will be paired with LG Mobile, and G Tiyatien has a health tracking function. Sony plans to set up a "wearable equipment workshop" at the show and is expected to release more information about the smart wrist strap smartband and its core and other wearable devices. Sony, formerly known for its innovation and sophistication, has lagged behind other consumer electronics giants in the past few years, and mobile products such as wearable devices are becoming a new trend. Nokia, which has been silent for many years, is expected to unveil its new Nokia smart watch on MWC, which is built by the map department, so its core function is likely to be positioning, and the most distinctive feature of this wearable device is its ability to bend and deform. Chinese companies may also bring "surprises" to the show. It is reported that Huawei may introduce wearable equipment on MWC, the industry is expected to be smart watch or smart hand ring products.　ZTE may also launch a smart watch. Great business opportunities in the industrial chain according to Credit Suisse Group forecast, the current global wearable market size of about 3 billion U.S. dollars-5 billion U.S. dollars, the future years is expected to grow to 300Billion dollar-50 billion dollars in the huge market, the next 3-5 years the end of the composite growth rate will not be less than 50%, the entire industry has huge business opportunities. In particular, with the popularization of 4G and mobile terminals, China's domestic wearable market will also usher in an explosion of growth. According to the data of the iresearch, about 6.75 million wearable equipment sold in China in 2013, the 2016 will increase rapidly to 73.5 million units; the market scale of domestic wearable equipment in 2013 is 2.03 billion yuan, and the market size of 2016 is expected to reach 16.94 billion RMB. Industry insiders pointed out that wearable equipment in the industrial chain on the basis of a variety of materials, relevant enterprises are more worthy of concern. The upstream end mainly includes sensors, flexible screens, amorphous alloys, processor and memory, batteries and other hardware elements such as FPC; midstream is mainly the touch module, bone conduction headset, MEMS microphone and receiver, voice interaction technology, mobile medical components, body-related products, wrist strap, head wear and Shell software system development , and downstream are finished products manufacturers, such as well-known Google glasses, Apple iwatch, Microsoft Smart watch and so on. FPC, MEMS and powder metallurgy are likely to be the three biggest benefits of wearable equipment, according to Forrester, a research institute. And the combination of these three applications will bring more user experience, more data sensing, more morphing applications, and better integration of people's Entertainment, office, social, educational and medical needs. But other agencies, such as IDC, are also worried that despite the huge interest of smart watches and Google glasses, consumer spending in this area is still not strong, and that the product is still attracting market attention. Or a takeover spree, in addition to the above enterprises, as more industry giants have shown a strong interest in the field of smart wear, in addition to strengthening their own scientific and technological research and development, the acquisition action will be intensified, this year or in the business to set off an acquisition spree. Google, Apple and other technology giants may buy the wearable equipment based science, according to TechCrunch, the US technology website. The company owns basis Tiyatien Tracker watch health tracking watch. According to the report, Basis science has been negotiating with Google, Apple, Samsung or Microsoft. The sale price may be "close to 100 million dollars". Currently, Norwest Venture, Mayfield and Intel Ventures have invested 30 million of dollars in foundation science. If the deal is reached, the investor can get a small return. According to people familiar with the matter, it may also choose to start a third round of financing. The big Four technology giants are drooling over the company, despite the fact that the market for the basis sciences is unclear. Analysts pointed out that after the acquisition of smart home manufacturers Nest, Google has been leading the artificial intelligence and hardware market, and currently Google is openHair independent intelligent Watch products. Meanwhile, Apple is developing iwatch, while Samsung Smart watch Galaxy Gear has been listed. Microsoft is more likely to become a dark horse in wearable territory with the technical advantages of Kinect. In 2014, the market for wearable equipment will be more open, with more companies joining the wearable equipment market this year, and falling prices will become a trend.
