Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 2.8 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3% during 2023-2028. The rising prevalence of chronic and acute indications, increasing preference for outpatient stay due to lower costs and convenience, and the increasing health consciousness represent some of the key factors driving the market.

A pedometer, also called step counter, refers to a small device that is used to record the distance a person travels on foot by counting the number of steps taken by the wearer during a specified time. It is a small, pager-sized device that is powered by a small battery designed to last for a long time. Usually worn at the waist or above the knee, it functions by recording body motion and measuring hip movement through sensors. Physical activity pedometers vary from analog devices that measure steps to advanced digital models that measure distance, calories, and heart rate. Pedometers with online connectivity are equipped with apps and web software that help users control their calorie intake and make healthy food choices. Ease of operation, reliable results, improved heart health, monitored oxygen intake and enhanced quality of sleep are some of the main advantages of pedometers. Due to their accuracy in recording fast walking, pedometers are widely used during intense workouts, including running, jogging, and cardio.
