HUAWEI has claimed the leading position in the global wearable tech market for Q2 2024, according to the latest report from the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Wearable Device Tracker.
Despite the global wrist-worn device market experiencing a slight year-over-year (YoY) decline of 0.7%, with 43.7 million units shipped, HUAWEI bucked the trend, achieving substantial growth and securing its dominance in the sector.
Strong Market Performance and Shipment Growth
HUAWEI’s remarkable performance in the wearable tech sector is underscored by its impressive shipment volumes and market share, reaching 8.9 million units and capturing 20.3% of the market in Q2 2024. This marks a significant leap from 6.3 million units and a 14.2% share in Q2 2023, reflecting a robust 42.1% year-over-year (YoY) growth rate, outpacing its competitors.
The introduction of HUAWEI’s new wearable devices has been a key driver of this success, contributing to a 55.1% YoY increase in shipments during the first half of 2023. This propelled the brand to lead the global wrist-worn device market for two consecutive quarters. HUAWEI’s growth has been especially strong in regions such as the Middle East and Africa, Latin America, and Central and Eastern Europe.
Innovative Wearables Powering HUAWEI’s Success
Throughout late 2023 and the first half of 2024, HUAWEI unveiled a series of innovative wearable devices that reinforced its market leadership. Among these were the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 3 and the HUAWEI WATCH GT 4 Series, both of which captivated consumers with cutting-edge technology and stylish designs.

In addition to its modern design, the smartwatch boasts advanced health and fitness monitoring features and an impressive battery life, lasting up to 10 days on a single charge, making it a must-have for fitness enthusiasts and style-conscious users alike.
The HUAWEI WATCH GT 4 Series redefines elegance with its classic yet bold design inspired by the Grand Tourer (GT). Available in 41mm and 46mm sizes, this sophisticated timepiece combines timeless style with a sporty edge, featuring an engraved bezel and pendant-inspired look. Beneath its elegant exterior lies powerful health tracking technology, monitoring everything from sleep quality to heart rate. The GT 4 Series blends fashion and function, appealing to traditional watch lovers and modern tech enthusiasts.
