The company is seeing a slight decline in this category compared to other tech vendors in the space. The decline rate is unknown. Although a drop could be because Huawei shifted its focus towards advanced watch categories like the GT 5 series.

The good news is that Huawei managed to make it to the list of top three brands. Counterpoint says that the market is still undeveloped. But as soon as it grows, more of the tech giants will get a chance to improve their position in this segment.

Further details state that Chinese tech makers have mainly led the global kids smartwatch market this time, with a 64% share. This is less than 72%, last year. Some particular regions managed to grow even in the period of recession.

North America, for instance, has progressed 1.5x following the new Fitbit watch release and the expansion of the other brands in the market. As per the info, the overall global kids smartwatch shipments raised by 4%YoY in the second quarter of 2024.

Counterpoint says that kids smartwatches have become popular among consumers in recent times. Parents are mainly preferring the device to keep their children away from smartphones as well as the harmful impacts of social media. This segment will likely reach 7% growth in the upcoming months.
