Industry Dynamics

Growth Drivers

Every organ and system requires adequate amount of oxygen to thrive and without the use of oxygen cells will eventually die and malfunction. Pulse oxygen is used for measuring oxygen percentage in haemoglobin proteins also known as saturation of oxygen. It implies the amount of oxygen being transferred to the organs. Moreover, pulse oximeters provide feedback pertaining to the effectiveness of the breathing interventions such as ventilators and oxygen therapy. Furthermore, creating alertness among health specialists regarding low oxygen levels specifically in new-borns is an advantage of pulse oximeters that is further strengthening the growth of the global pulse oximeters market.

Increasing need of monitoring patients in treatment and diagnosis regime along with increasing readmission limbo and healthcare costs are the key factors that are pertaining towards the growth of global pulse oximeters market. Monitoring of patients rampantly is thus incurring additional costs that is challenging in the scenario of limited healthcare budget. In order to attain cost efficiencies healthcare budget could be tackled with on the spot checking with the use of fingertip or handheld oximeters. 

Increasing healthcare awareness: There has been a growing awareness among individuals about the importance of monitoring their health, especially in terms of oxygen levels in the blood. Pulse oximeters provide a convenient and non-invasive way to measure oxygen saturation levels, making them popular among consumers.

Rising prevalence of respiratory conditions: Respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and sleep apnea have been on the rise globally. These conditions often require regular monitoring of blood oxygen levels, driving the demand for pulse oximeters.

Technological advancements: Pulse oximeters have undergone significant technological advancements in recent years, leading to improved accuracy, portability, and user-friendly features. These advancements have increased the adoption of pulse oximeters both in healthcare settings and for personal use.

Aging population: The global population is aging, and older adults are more susceptible to respiratory illnesses and chronic conditions. The aging population's need for regular monitoring of oxygen levels contributes to the growth of the pulse oximeter market.

Increasing home healthcare: There is a growing trend towards home healthcare, where individuals prefer to monitor their health conditions at home rather than visiting healthcare facilities. Pulse oximeters are easy to use at home and provide instant results, making them an essential device for home healthcare.

Sports and fitness applications: Pulse oximeters are also used by athletes and fitness enthusiasts to monitor their oxygen saturation levels during intense workouts or high-altitude activities. The increasing focus on fitness and sports activities has boosted the demand for pulse oximeters in this segment.

Technological convergence: Pulse oximeters are now integrated into wearable devices, such as smartwatches and fitness trackers. This convergence of technologies has further expanded the market reach of pulse oximeters, as they become a part of everyday wearable devices.
