The global disposable medical sensors market is expected to reach USD 12.3 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing prevalence of chronic diseases has been observed to be a major factor driving growth which is demanding for better healthcare service provision by high quality diagnostic and monitoring devices. These devices will enable patients to self-monitor and along with easy and affordable usage. In addition, the rapidly rising technological advancements is expected to bring in innovation in medical sensors.
The market is also being driven by government initiatives to fund and encourage R&D which in turn will help in launching innovative products. For instance, the government of India increased the health expenditure from 1.4% to 2.5% for innovations, and other healthcare services. Innovations in medical sensors not only instill ease of use but also assist in making the device portable and automated.
On the basis of product, the biosensor segment is accounted to be the spearhead in 2016 and is expected to maintain its dominance over the forecast period. This can be attributed to the rising demand for rapid and accurate diagnostic kit. Development of such diagnostic tools is expected to further create new growth opportunities for biosensors, thereby supporting growth of the disposable medical sensors market. Launching of new products are expected to fuel market growth. For instance, Raiing Medical launched wearable thermometer in 2016 that is rechargeable and waterproof. Similarly, MEMSIC Inc. launched new pressure sensor in 2017 which is used in breath detection.
Further Key Findings From the Report Suggest:
- Globally, disposable medical sensors witnessed lucrative growth in 2016 and are expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.2% from 2017 to 2025
