What is the Sweat Monitor trend?
Sweat Monitor: New startups are launching wearable sweat monitors for safe hydration levels. These are non-intrusive wearables that measure the sweat on the skin, rather than detecting moisture within the skin directly. This helps remind users when to hydrate, particularly during sporting activities.
Insight
The consumer insight behind the Sweat Monitor trend
Climate change has led to outdoor weather becoming increasingly unpredictable, with rising temperatures causing more regions to become near-uninhabitable at certain times of the year. These conditions cause consumers to pay more attention to proper hydration. When performing physical activities, these consumers are looking for non-intrusive solutions to ensure their bodies maintain healthy fluid levels. Brands are in turn creating hydration monitors with less intrusive sweat-monitoring designs.
