Across Hollywood and Bollywood, health tech is a quiet, powerful signal of self-care.

Celebs have been sporting their favourite wellness accessories: wearable health tech. Actors Gwyneth Paltrow, Alia Bhatt and Jennifer Aniston have been spotted with Oura rings, while Katrina Kaif is regularly seen with a continuous glucose monitor patch on her arm.

Now, it’s not just A-listers; people in the real world, too, are now relying on wearables that go far beyond step counts and sleep scores.

As per a report by Grand View Research — an India and US based market research and consulting company — the global wearable health tech market stood at $60 billion (nearly ₹5 lakh crore) in 2023 and is projected to cross $170 billion (over ₹14.2 lakh crore) by 2032.
