According to recent analysis, the global kids smartwatch market is expected to grow from USD 9.8 Billion in 2025 to USD 19.2 Billion by 2035, with a strong CAGR of 6.3% during the forecast period. This expansion is driven by the growing digital parenting movement and a rise in demand for child safety, communication and health-tracking wearables.
The Kids Smartwatch Market is booming across the world, by strong demand of hybrid, perfect-fit kids’ smartwatches, integrating learning, location tracking and parental control. For instance, Xplora Technologies released a GDPR-friendly smartwatch with SOS, step tracking, and school mode, giving parents some much-needed peace of mind and kids something actually cool to interact with. These features have helped Xplora win contracts with European telcos interested in value-added family plans, strengthening its position as a trusted provider of child-friendly wearable tech while also advancing a growth strategy centered around connectivity, compliance, and user-friendly design.
Increasing concern for safety of a child and connected parenting are the major driving factors of Kids Smartwatch Market at international level. With features including GPS location, SOS calling, and school mode, these clever products are perfect for modern families on the lookout for control and communication. For Instance, in 2024, Angel Watch introduced a model featuring medical-grade heart rate monitoring and encoded messaging, which met two growing consumer demands: ensuring the safety of a child, and tracking the child’s well-being. This development made the brand more credible to health-conscious parents and reinforced overall trends in tech-for-kids adoption.
One of the main challenges is rapidly increasing scrutiny over data privacy and specific digital regulation for children. Not to mention the hefty encryption and consent protocols now required to comply with laws like COPPA in the U.S. and GDPR-K in Europe. For example, in 2023, a number of smartwatch brands were either fined or removed from European shelves for their poor data protection, which not only made a detour to the brand expansion and raised their compliance costs. These are entry barriers that make it challenging for newcomers to come along, and they make the scaling in the regulated markets slow.
Personalized learning and screen-balanced tech is in high demand and the door is wide open to add edutainment features and hybrid subscription models. Brands are creating curated content, wellness gamification, and parent portals that drive long-term engagement. For Instance, In 2025, TickTalk introduced an attachable language learning feature and daily activity tracker that are available to unlock via subscription, helping both to maintain user retention and diversified, subscription-based revenue.
Major companies shaping the kids smartwatch market include Buddywatch, Caref Watch, Fitbit, Gabb Wireless, Garmin Ltd., Huawei, IMOO, iPIN, JOYSKY, LeapFrog, LG, Samsung, Synlux, TCL (Alcatel Kids Watch), TickTalk, Verizon GizmoWatch, VTech, Wonlex, Xiaomi, Xplora, and Other Key Players. These firms are investing in kids smartwatch technologies that enhance child safety through real-time tracking, support digital learning with interactive apps, and meet strict global data privacy regulations to build trust among parents and educators.
