According to the leading market research and advisory firm International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Wearable Device Tracker Q2CY2022, Imagine Marketing, the parent company of boAt, is ranked fifth in the world. Furthermore, according to IDC India Monthly Wearable Device Tracker, August 2022, Imagine Marketing continues to lead the overall wearables category in India for the third consecutive year (CY20, CY21, CY22 YTD). The brand has a diverse portfolio of well-designed, indigenous, and distinctive lifestyle-oriented products that are reasonably priced.
In July 2022, Imagine Marketing will have a 40%+ market share in the TWS category. The phenomenal growth can be attributed to factors such as availability, affordability, improved features and functionalities such as ANC, innovative designs, and low-latency gaming modes. Watch-based wearables are also the fastest-growing category for Imagine Marketing, with >145% growth over the last year (H12021 v/s H12022). Aside from the low price, features like Bluetooth calling, larger screen sizes, and AMOLED displays are enticing to both first-time users and upgraders.
