What Zepp does
Zepp Health Corporation (NYSE: ZEPP) is a global sports and wellness technology company that designs, manufactures, and sells smart wearables, hearing devices, and AI-driven health software. Founded in 2013 as Huami Corp. and rebranded to Zepp Health in February 2021, the company is incorporated in the Cayman Islands, headquartered in Gorinchem, Netherlands, and listed on the NYSE since February 2018. The company operates a vertically integrated platform — the Zepp Digital Health Management Platform — built on a proprietary Zepp OS (proprietary smartwatch operating system), BioTracker PPG biometric sensors, AI algorithms, and the Zepp App companion. Across this platform, three consumer-facing brands deliver the user experience: Amazfit (smartwatches and bands spanning budget to premium price tiers from ~€99 to $599), Zepp Aura (AI-powered sleep and relaxation subscription), and Zepp Clarity (OTC hearing aids). The company has shipped over 200 million units to 42M+ active users across 90+ countries and operates from offices in the Netherlands, the United States, China (Hefei, Beijing, Shenzhen), and Canada (Vancouver).
The company's revenue model is anchored in hardware sales of Amazfit wearables at multiple price tiers (Balance, T-Rex, Cheetah, Active, Bip series), supplemented by recurring subscription revenue from Zepp Aura premium sleep services and the Zepp Fitness Membership, plus Zepp Clarity hearing aid sales. Distribution combines direct-to-consumer e-commerce (Amazfit.com), major marketplaces (Amazon), and physical retail partnerships including REI and Planet Fitness, with event-driven demand from the exclusive HYROX global partnership covering fitness racing. FY2025 revenue reached $258.9 million (up 41.8% YoY) with a Q4 2025 gross margin of 40.4%, though the company remains unprofitable with a FY2025 net loss of $40.07 million (narrowed from $75.7M in FY2024). The customer base is distributed across fitness enthusiasts, runners, outdoor and adventure users, general wellness consumers, hearing-impaired seniors, female athletes (via the Wild.AI acquisition), and HYROX fitness racing participants.
Zepp's product roadmap emphasizes AI-driven health insights through Zepp Coach (personalized training plans), Zepp Flow (natural language voice assistant), the PAI Health Assessment System (validated against a 35-year longitudinal study of 230,000+ participants), RealBeats (arrhythmia screening), and PeakBeats (VO2 Max and recovery analysis). Recent strategic actions include the September 2025 Wild.AI core assets acquisition for female athlete wellness and the April 2026 expansion of the HYROX partnership into a three-year global exclusive deal, alongside a 2026 product cadence that launched the Balance Ultra, Cheetah 2 Pro, T-Rex Ultra 2, Active Max, and Bip Max across premium and budget price points.

Zepp competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Garmin: Garmin is the dominant player in premium GPS sports and fitness watches, competing directly with Zepp's Cheetah, Fenix-class, and T-Rex series. Both companies target serious athletes and outdoor enthusiasts with advanced metrics, multi-band GPS, and long battery life, though Garmin commands significantly higher brand premiums.
- Suunto: Suunto competes directly in outdoor and adventure smartwatches, particularly against Zepp's T-Rex Ultra series. Both brands emphasize ruggedness, GPS accuracy, and expedition-grade features for hiking, diving, and extreme sports enthusiasts.
- Huawei: Huawei Watch GT and Watch series directly compete with Zepp's Amazfit lineup in global markets, especially in Asia, Europe, and Latin America. Both target similar value-conscious fitness consumers with comparable health monitoring features at aggressive price points.
- Fitbit (Google): Fitbit, owned by Google, is a direct competitor in health-focused wearables and fitness trackers. Both companies emphasize 24/7 health monitoring, sleep tracking, and heart health algorithms, though Fitbit benefits from Google's ecosystem and Pixel Watch integration.
- Polar Electro: Polar is a direct peer in the sports/fitness watch category, particularly known for heart rate monitoring accuracy and training metrics. Both companies target serious endurance athletes with VO2 Max, training load, and recovery insights that Zepp's PeakBeats algorithm directly mirrors.
Emerging players
- Withings: Withings is a health-focused wearable company that overlaps with Zepp's health monitoring positioning, particularly in connected health devices, sleep tracking (Sleep Analyzer), and clinical-grade metrics. Both companies emphasize medical-grade validation of their health algorithms.
- COROS: COROS is an emerging challenger brand in endurance sports watches that has gained significant market share in the running and cycling segments. COROS Apex and Vertix watches compete directly with Zepp's Cheetah and Balance series at similar price points with comparable training metrics.
Regional players
- Xiaomi: Xiaomi competes with Zepp's value-tier products (Mi Band and Watch series) primarily in Asian markets. While overlapping in budget fitness wearables, Xiaomi has limited premium positioning, leaving the higher-end market more directly contested between Zepp, Garmin, and Apple.
Broad incumbents
- Samsung Electronics: Samsung Galaxy Watch series competes in the smartwatch category with Zepp, particularly in the Android ecosystem. Samsung's vertical integration, brand strength, and bundled health features make it a broad incumbent Zepp must position around with specialized sport/fitness depth.
- Apple (Apple Watch): Apple Watch is the global market leader in smartwatches and a broad incumbent Zepp competes against. While Apple's health ecosystem and iOS integration create stronger lock-in, Zepp's Android-friendly, lower-priced alternative addresses price-sensitive consumers and markets Apple underserves.
