Sammanfattning
In an constantly evolving society, technology plays a crucial role in enhancing our every-day lives.
The human curiosity about how our surrounding world affects us has combined with an increasing
desire to understand what influences our well-being. The market for smart rings hold great potential to
develop these products that help us understand the factors affecting our wellness. In collaboration with
Cebon, the project analyzed the market's potential and how it will further develop in the future. The
cooperation focused on evaluating the opportunities and limitations within the market to ultimately
produce a "proof of concept" based on the identified market spaces, corresponding to the results of
consumer, industry, and company analyses.
The market is partially limited by factors such as expertise, data collection, and an established
customer segment. The technology industry is becoming increasingly difficult to enter as current
companies develop compatible solutions and provide complete, interoperable product series. The
constant threat from potential new market entrants creates additional challenges for investment
companies like Cebon to establish themselves. However, the market analysis showed that there are
deficiencies in the current products to reach all customer groups and that Cebon possesses the
expertise to offer existing suppliers alternative solutions. Cebon's resources in energy solutions
provide a solid foundation to meet the needs for smart ring charging solutions.
Product development was based on the requirements that emerged from the market analysis and
resulted in a practically feasible concept. The reality-based process involved considerations regarding
material selection, manufacturing techniques, and the creation of 3D renderings. The concept was
designed according to user preferences and needs. In addition to creating a better everyday experience,
the concept is proof that Cebon can become a future competitive player in the market. The resulting
concept is characterized by a versatile charger while simultaneously reducing its environmental
sustainability footprint.
