Research firm Parks Associates estimates that the fitness tracker market could nearly triple in value from $2 billion in 2014 to $5.4 billion in 2019. That might sound like a solid growth market, but Fitbit warns that the overall market is still in "the early stages of growth" and remains "new and unproven." A severe economic downturn could also cause discretionary income to plunge, greatly reducing demand for all health-tracking wearables.
