SMART RING MARKET OVERVIEW

The global smart ring market was valued at USD 0.04 billion in 2024 and is expected to grow to USD 0.0488 billion in 2025, reaching USD 0.24 billion by 2033, with a projected CAGR of 22% during the forecast period.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the Global Smart Ring Market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The wearable Smart Ring is a small, light-weight device that may be written on and has a reader for near-field communications (NFC) tags. To be more specific, a smart ring that gives users the ability to control all of their digitally enabled interactions, including their smartphone, smart home appliances, Google Glass, smartwatch, and a range of others. Smart rings have sophisticated sensors, processors, and communication systems that allow them to communicate with other devices, measure and track a range of health and fitness indicators, receive and show notifications, and carry out a number of other activities.

SMART RING MARKET KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Imposed Restrictions in the Economy Resulted in Decline in the Market 

The COVID-19 outbreak caused temporary business closures as well as supply chain and manufacturing disruptions, which in turn reduced the development of telecom infrastructure and had a negative effect on the sales and marketing efforts of rugged phone companies competing in the market. The effects were severe, particularly for startups and small- to medium-sized businesses operating in this industry. Companies did, however, make a lot of restructuring efforts to address the supply chain difficulties and improve collaboration with suppliers and partners to lessen the negative market impact.

LATEST TRENDS

Growth of the market in recent years

A significant development is the acceptance of wearable technology as a form of payment. Smart rings are becoming more popular as a contactless payment option in retail establishments. As a result, makers of wearable electronics like smartwatches, smart bands, and smart rings incorporate NFC chips into their products. As a result, contactless payments are more convenient and take less time to complete than traditional payment methods like cash or credit cards. Wearable electronic gadgets are now being used by many businesses to receive payments for their goods and services. After that, consumers can connect their favorite credit or debit card to the RingPay app to top off their ring. Another important trend is strategic collaborations, particularly with retailers and garment suppliers for contactless payment via wearable technology.

• Renaissance of smart rings at CES 2024–2025: Over 50% increase in U.S. smart ring revenues to US $190 million in 2025, after a +118% rise to $124 million in 2024, according to the Consumer Technology Association

• Global shipments nearly doubled in 2024: Reaching 1.7 million units, up +88% year-over-year, with projections to 3.1 million by 2028
