The wearable technology industry is quickly evolving, with new devices and applications being offered by an expanding number of companies. While it has yet to fully bloom, the expectations are that wearables will redefine the electronics marketplace – just as smart phones and tablets have done over the past several years.

But which companies and devices could spark this explosion in demand?
