As can be gleaned from this graphic, the data sent and received by wearable devices around the world is anticipated to increase (and almost double) in each year from now until the end of the decade. The market for wearable tech is estimated to reach close to 13 billion dollars per year by 2018, and according to Forbes, over 70 percent of young adults aged 16 to 24 desire some form of wearable tech. Just as mobile applications emerged, then irrevocably changed the way customers interact with brands, wearable technology is set to make a profound and fascinating impact on popular culture, consumerism, and lifestyle branding in the near future.

With that being said, are you ready to embrace this burgeoning industry, or are you still playing catch up with what the words ‘wearable tech’ mean?

When looking for the right company for your vision, look to those who specialize in turning ideas into practical solutions—and those who have a successful history with similar products.

In particular, look for companies like Clearbridgemobile.com — this high-tech developer has extensive experience with Android Wear and Galaxy Gear for multiple markets, including retail, QSR, mobile payments, enterprise, and beyond. Clearbridge Mobile has also worked with leading Fortune 500-level clients to guarantee a stellar track record and experience with products aimed for mass markets. Look for companies (like Clearbridge) that work on applications, beacon, wearable technology, and other Internet of Things ideas all from an in house base of operations. You should become extremely familiar with whichever development company you hire—you should be treated as a collaborator and colleague, not merely as a paying customer, and part of superior customer service means having your new product handled from start to finish by one team (and not sent out to a third party that you never have contact with).
