After a slowdown caused by global geopolitical factors, the smartwatch market, which showed signs of recovery from the previous quarter, is growing at a “healthy” percentage in the third quarter.

The smartwatch market grew by 9% in the third quarter of this year, according to Counterpoint Research.

The growth, analysts say, is coming mainly from India and China, where Huawei is enjoying a remarkable comeback.

After growing by 56%, Huawei returned to the top three and now occupies 14% of the market.

Samsung suffered a 19% year-over-year drop, but that decline was driven more by older models, with newer models only shipping 3% less.

Apple posted the best Q3 in this market, growing by 7% compared to last year. The share of the American company, which still significantly dominates the market, remains at 45%. (News.ro)
