1. J’son & Partners Consulting presents the main results of the research: “Overview of the Russian and world
smart devices market, 2011 – 2017”
General characteristic of smart devices market
Smart devices – high technological wearable mobile devices, as usual, are managed by operating system
or comparable with it systems, having GPS for navigation and geo location services; Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to
synchronize with smartphones and other smart devices; to send notifications about calls/sms, emails, social
networks; GSM, 2G and 3G technologies for making calls, transfer the messages, and also to be an
accelerometer, thermometer, compass, chronograph and other technologies.
Market of wearable mobile devices can be classified in 7 segments:
Smart - watches – watches with an expanded features (not limited to the display of the
current time of day)
Smart – glasses – high technological glasses combining functions of smarphone and PC
Wearable cameras – mini cameras built-in clothes, often equipped with GPS modules.
Wearable cameras are comparable with devices using OS with the ability to manage the
device’s features via mobile app.
Smart clothes – textile accessories, clothing or outfit equipped with additional consumer
functions by means of specific materials and embedded computing devices
Fitness devices, smart devices for sport – ‘smart’ devices with detectors of heart rate,
energy consumption, sleep detectors and other sports functions, stimulating user’s activity
Medical smart devices – medical devices compatible with smart phones, tablets and
other consumer devices elaborated for various medical purposes, including health
improvement and ensuring control over the treatment process
Wearable 3D measuring device –computing mechanisms built-in cloths units, equipped
with ambulatory 3D measurement
Development of smart devices market began in 1980s, however wide popularity of these devices started
later. GoPro camera enjoyed widespread popularity, starting from its announcement in 2004 sales were
doubling every year. Along with the launch of iPod Nano in 2010 and Sony SmartWatch in 2012, smart
devices market started to shift gradually from smart cameras to ‘smart’ watches.
It is worth mentioning that smart devices are either not presented by manufactures in the
Russian market at all or their sales start with a several months time lag.

2. Smart-watches
One of the fastest growing segments of the market of wearable smart
devices is the segment of smart-watches. A large number of manufactures
of this type of smart devices entered the market over the past year.
Moreover, such big players as Apple, Microsoft, Samsung and LG are
developing smart-watches. A range of smart-watches compatible with
smartphones and other ‘smart’ devices; independent smart-watches,
equipped with the operating systems; smart-watches with voice functions
and sport smart-watches are presented in the market. Around 15 models of ‘smart’-watches are presented
currently in the Russian market.
Smart watches compatible with smartphones are designed for users who actually use
smartphones. Thanks to alerts about incoming calls / sms / social networks and e-mail
notification users always stay connected. It leads to the integration of high technology into
everyday life.
According to ABI Research forecasts the market size of smart watches will increase in the nearest year: in
2013 sales of smart watches will reach 1.2 million pieces and $ 370 million in cash. By 2015 sales will
increase by more than 20 times.

Main drivers of growth of smart-watches market include:
• Increasing penetration of smartphones in many world markets.
According to many analysts smartphone market is close to saturation. It will boost sales growth of smart
watches as an alternative multifunction device.
• Wide price affordability allows less solvent customers to buy multifunctional device. For example,
sport bracelets at an average price of $ 50 are in high demand
• Applications ecosystem
• GPS-modules, that provide access to the geolocation services
• Access to social networks (at the level of notifications, or higher for some devices)

3. • Access to work and personal e-mail (at the level of notifications, or higher for some devices)
• Sport features that allow to keep track of daily activity of the user, which also helps to monitor state
of health of the smart watch owner
• Healthy lifestyle trend in the modern world
Main constraints of growth of smart-watches market include:
• The way the battery charge that takes a lot of time;
Users of mechanical, quartz or electronic watches did not get used to the need of daily, weekly or even
monthly recharge of devices. Smart watches are to be recharged for a certain period of time, either
through USB-cable connected to PC or via wireless charging device, which goes along with the device
• The main function of watches becomes unavailable due to possible daily or weekly battery
discharge;
Watch is a device for determining current time of day and the duration of time intervals in hours, minutes
and seconds. Smart watches are usually equipped with technology (GPS, Bluetooth, LCD, etc) that affect
the battery life. As a result wrist smart device can often run down, limiting user access to the main function
of the watch.
• Smart watches compete with smartphones as its functional substitutes;
• Rejection of innovative products due to lack of awareness;
• Low penetration of smartphones for smart watches, which work in conjunction with smartphones;
• In contrast with sales of smartphones, and especially tablets, mobile operators do not receive
additional revenues from provision of mobile data transfer services to the owners of mobile smart
devices, as well as revenue from value added services (VAS). It does not encourage operators to
promote these products by its subsidizing in the West.
Smart-glasses
Smart glasses is a full stand-alone mobile computer. This type of device
can either replace a smartphone or complement it. The main distinction
of ‘smart’ glasses is its ability to fulfill simultaneously three separate
functions: augmented reality, mobile phone plus Internet, video diary.
Augmented reality implemented in the form of introduction of virtual
reality elements, has not yet been fully implemented in devices
announced by Google, Vuzix and Olympus. At the same time, the first
version of glasses fully implement video diary, as well as provide an opportunity to make calls and access
the Internet.
According to IHS iSuppli estimates, global sales of ‘smart’ glasses may reach 6.6 mln units by the end of
2016.

Main drivers of growth of smart-glasses market include:
• Unique ecosystem of mobile apps for smart glasses
• Thanks to use of mobile applications for smart glasses user generates additional traffic that affects
the operator's revenue
• Penetration of 4G LTE and a wide coverage of developed countries by 3G network, which allows in
case of having access to the Internet to transfer data at high speed
• Possibility of keeping a video diary
• Equipment with photocamera
• Augmented reality which attracted many users
• GPS-modules, that provide access to the geolocation services
• Access to social networks (at the level of notifications, or higher for some devices)
• Access to work and personal e-mail (at the level of notifications, or higher for some devices)
Main constraints of growth of smart-glasses market include:
• Violation of privacy;
• Incorrect understanding of the purpose of smart glasses by the audience;
Manufacturers of smart glasses are afraid that audience will get the wrong idea about the purpose of
device and will use it more as a mobile camera, rather than augmented reality device, as well as use video
recording for unique events, such as skydiving, etc., rather than daily life recording. Thus, smart glasses
will be presented in the competitive market of sports cameras, smartphones, tablets and other devices
equipped with camera.
• Short battery life;
• Eyes strain;
• The need to wear glasses all the time;
• Unusual of control
• Fragility of smart glasses;

Constraints of Russian market of smart devices include:
 Beginning of sales
Usually, devices become available to customers in the domestic Russian market with a few months delay.
 Absence of official distributors of smart devices
Main supplies of smart devices in the Russian Federation are made through dealers. The majority of smart
devices sold on the territory of Russia do not have manufacture warranty.
 Small range of models compared to the world
 High price.
Prices of smart devices in Russia are higher compared to the prices in the USA domestic market.
Main growth drivers of Russian market of smart devices include:
 Increasing penetration of smartphones to the Russian market
 Applications ecosystem
 GPS-modules, that provide access to the geolocation services
