The event takes place in Las Vegas in January each year. This year’s event will run from January 8 to 11. Health tech and digital fitness will definitely take center stage this year.
Artificial Intelligence with voice control will also be big this year. Smart headphones and voice-controlled AR/VR headsets will be a hit. “A new Alexa development kit from Qualcomm means we’ll see more integration of voice into headphones,” says Jack Wetherill, Principal Consultant, Home Electronics at Futuresource. “We’re waiting for headphones that respond to a wake-word, and while that probably won’t emerge at CES 2019, we will see true wireless earphones with longer battery life – it would be logical if Sony brought more ‘true wireless’ products at CES.”
Samsung has its fingers in more than one pie, and we wouldn’t be surprised if the foldable Galaxy X makes its debut at this year’s CES.
Among the health wearables, consumers will be more interested in smartwatches with blood pressure monitor and sleep tracking, Continuous glucose monitoring, smart patches and smartglasses.
