Hello
The global semiconductor market is on fire, with the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) predicting robust growth of 16% in 2024 and an additional 12.5% in 2025. One key contributor to this growth is the booming wearables segment. Earwear, smartwatches, fitness bands, and even emerging smart rings are expected to drive wearable shipments well in excess of 500 million units this year. These devices are increasingly packing more technology inside and are now beginning to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) functionality via Tiny Machine Learning (TinyML), a form of AI specifically designed for low-power, resource-constrained devices. TinyML applications in wearable devices are enhancing functionalities such as processing voice commands, analyzing visual and health data, and interpreting vibration sensors, to bring the power of AI on-device.
