IDC revealed Apple held the lead with the highly successful AirPods, along with Apple Watches. Xiaomi followed second, with 12.8 million out of 17 million devices being wristbands. Huawei got third for a very simple reason - wearables don’t need GMS, so its competitively priced products really have nothing holding them back.

Looking ahead in the future, IDC predicted the wearable market will enjoy sustained demand due to more and more people getting into the trend and buying their first wearable, as well as a lot of early adopters going for a device replacement. Also, a lot of users have audio accessories and wristbands/watches, making the volume of units actually higher than the number of consumers of wearable devices.
