Sensors in Healthcare Applications Market - Forecast(2024 - 2030)

The United Nations (UN) has estimated that, in 2050, the population of people beyond 60 years will be two times of that in 2015, and it was already 962 million in 2017^[1].  Apparently, a lot of geriatric conditions and chronic diseases are associated with aging, which is stirring the home healthcare sector where the application of the sensors is imperative in order to monitor the treatment and results. This is one of the segments in the healthcare sector which is creating opportunities in the sensors market in healthcare applications for the vendors; and according to the findings by IndustryARC’s market analyst, the global market size was $18 billion to $20 billion in 2018. Furthermore, the analyst estimates the medical imaging application segment of the sensors market in the healthcare sector to grow with a global CAGR of 8% to 10% during the forecast period of 2019 to 2025.

The technology of motion sensors in APAC is on the perpetual rise. This is coupled with respiratory diseases that are attributed to the air pollution which is the major concern in the developing countries of APAC, and it is quite evident when the urban air population was held responsible for the death of 500,000 individuals by the World Health Organization (WHO)^[2]. This is having a consequent effect on the sales of medical sensors APAC, and according to the market analyst, the region held the maximum regional market share of around 30% in 2018. 

Sensors are generally used in the healthcare sector for remote patient monitoring through health rate monitor. They are used in different ways that range from medical imaging, rehabilitation robotics and through wearable devices that monitor the health of the patient remotely. The global medical imaging equipment revenues are poised to reach $24 billion in 2020, according to WHO^[3]. Now, these imaging equipment make use of sensors which is leading to subsequent stir in the sensors market in healthcare applications. According to the market analyst of IndustryARC, the application of sensors in medical imaging will observe a supercharging CAGR of more than 15% through to 2025. 

There is a myriad of rare or newly found diseases in the contemporary world which do not have a specific diagnostic process. However, there is a constant R&D by medical institutes across the globe to create a diagnostic process and formulate new medicines for these diseases. This is coupled with the technological advancements such as sensors which are leveraged by health care professionals to evaluate the disease and formulate vaccines that can cure them which is driving the demand growth in sensors market in healthcare applications.

Nowadays, hospitals have a patient portal which collates the data pertaining to patient history that include every stage from diagnosis to the last visit. These portals are utilized for data analysis and to enhance disease management. Each patient has a unique account which can be accessed by hospital management or the patient which creates the need for an IoT sensor which can connect all the information about a patient and make a database on the portal. This is a rampant practice in hospitals which is further flourishing the sensors market in healthcare applications.

Pressure sensors are an integral part of anesthesia delivery machines, oxygen concentrators, ventilators, and other healthcare equipment that are used for kidney dialysis, blood pressure monitoring, and hospital bed surgical fluid management systems. “The diverse application of sensors in medical equipment coupled with the fact that healthcare equipment market demand is observing a steady growth owing to the increasing incidences of chronic diseases is creating a sustainable demand of sensors which will observe an increment in the future,” remarks the market analyst in the market research report. 

 

The major challenge faced by the vendors in the sensors market in healthcare applications is that the application of sensors in wearable medical devices is facing regulatory issues by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and physicians are also showing reluctance to prescribe these devices which contain sensors. However, the healthcare sector is undergoing constant digitalization which is compensating these trifle challenges and creating opportunities for the vendors that manufacture healthcare sensors. 

The key players striving to capitalize on the demand influx in the sensors market in healthcare applications are Smiths Group, Honeywell, GE, STMicroelectronics, MSI, Analog, TI, NXP, First Sensor, Medtronic, TE Connectivity, Murata, and Sensiron.
