To gather both qualitative and quantitative insights, supply-side and demand-side stakeholders were interviewed during the primary research phase. CTOs, VPs of Hardware Engineering, heads of Sensor R&D, regulatory affairs managers, and product strategy directors from wearable device OEMs, semiconductor foundries, health analytics platform providers, and MEMS sensor makers were among the supply-side sources. Demand-side sources included procurement leads from military defense contractors, wellness program directors from corporate health insurance companies, performance directors from professional sports organizations, occupational health & safety managers from manufacturing companies, and chief medical informatics officers from health systems that used remote patient monitoring. Primary research established firmware development schedules, validated market segmentation across sensor modalities, and collected information on business adoption patterns for industrial wearables, reimbursement codes for remote therapeutic monitoring (RTM), and clinical accuracy criteria.

Global market valuation was derived through revenue mapping and unit shipment analysis. The methodology included:
Identification of 60+ key sensor manufacturers and wearable device OEMs across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America
Product mapping across inertial measurement units (IMUs), optical biometric sensors, environmental gas/UV sensors, pressure sensors, and force-sensitive resistor technologies
Analysis of reported and modeled annual revenues specific to wearable sensor portfolios and integrated device bill-of-materials (BOM)
Coverage of manufacturers representing 75-80% of global market share in 2024
Extrapolation using bottom-up (unit shipment volume × average selling price by sensor type and region) and top-down (manufacturer revenue validation and supply chain bill-of-materials analysis) approaches to derive segment-specific valuations for hardware components, firmware/software platforms, and associated professional services
