Fitbit Revenue and Usage Statistics (2024)

David Curry

Updated: January 17, 2024

Taking inspiration from the tracking sensors in the iPhone, James Park and Eric Friedman founded Fitbit in 2007, with the aim of putting the sensors in a smaller package.

Fitbit spent the first two years ramping up production to meet demand. They originally launched at TechCrunch 50 conference in 2008 expecting 50 pre-orders, but came away with more than 2,000.

By 2011, Fitbit was a national brand in the US, available in Best Buy and Walmart. It commanded a hefty lead over all other fitness trackers, which it held until the launch of smartwatches and an influx of cheaper brands from China.

With every Bluetooth update, Fitbit enabled more health and fitness tracking. In 2013, Fitbit launched a fitness tracker with a heart-rate sensor, and has since added new sensors to track EDA, temperature, sleep and menstrual cycle.

Fitbit went public in June 2015, surging from a $4 billion company to $9.7 billion by 2015. This was the height of wearable hype, as Apple launched the first Watch and Pebble launched a second Kickstarter, reaching $20 million.

Fitbit would acquire Pebble in 2017 for $23 million, a sign that some of the spark had left the wearables market. More than $8 billion had been shaved off Fitbit’s market cap by 2017, as Apple and Xiaomi overtook Fitbit.

Fitbit entered the smartwatch market late. Like most market leaders, the company originally called the smartwatch a different product type, only to slowly realise many of its customers were happy to ditch a fitness tracker for a feature-packed smartwatch.

Fitbit has added more active users every year, even as its lost market share and revenue. In 2019, it counted 29 million active users on its platform, which accounts for about a quarter of the company’s total fitness tracker sales.

In the past few years, Fitbit has attempted to build an Apple Watch competitor, with the ability to make payments and respond to messages. However, it remains geared towards fitness and health, while Apple and Samsung have been able to broaden their market to other types of customers.
In 2019, Alphabet announced its intention to acquire Fitbit for $2.1 billion. It was completed in January 2021.

Google has not been great at handling its hardware acquisitions. Motorola suffered catastrophic market share loss under the search giant, and the internal affairs of Nest under Google ownership have been thoroughly detailed. Google has retained the brand for now, but appears to be stripping Fitbit of several features and merging it into Google hardware division.
