Wearables continue their streak with yet another increase in the number of health and fitness trackers hitting the market.
Fitbit continues to lead the field, having shipped 4 million fitness trackers just in the second quarter of this year, according to a new report.
Total shipments of basic bands, comprising mainly health and fitness trackers, passed 9 million units in the last quarter, according to Canalys.
Following Fitbit is Chinese maker Xiaomi, having sent 3 million devices into the market last quarter, followed by Garmin at 700,000 devices.
Meanwhile, wearable-maker Jawbone has attempted to sell its wearable business, according to a report in The Information, though Jawbone said the story is false. Shipments of their devices didn’t even register in the report.
Wearable technology products are slowly building market share although the range of successful products is still narrow – primarily fitness trackers and watches.
