醫療感測器市場:2024-2029 年預測Medical Sensors Market - Forecasts from 2024 to 2029 |
醫療感測器市場預期複合年成長率為5.94%,市場規模從2024年的22.5億美元增加到2029年的30.27億美元。
對醫療感測器的需求是由醫療成本上升和居家醫療的最新趨勢等關鍵因素推動的。由於技術進步,這些感測器的使用在各個地區迅速增加。此外,醫療專業人士擴大推薦感測器作為診斷癌症、呼吸系統疾病和心血管疾病的有效方法來進行有效的病患監測,從而推動了醫療感測器市場的成長。然而,有關醫療設備開發和核准的嚴格法規可能會阻礙預測期內的市場成長。
穿戴式科技是醫療保健物聯網市場成長的關鍵因素,增加了對醫療感測器的需求。這些醫療感測器可以直接以電子形式記錄血壓和患者體溫等生命徵象。慢性病盛行率上升和世界人口迅速老化推動了對該設備的需求。基於感測器的設備針對需要定期檢查的老年族群和慢性疾病患者,可以進行遠端和照護現場病患監測。
壓力感測器對於醫療設備持續提高其運作品質、使其更有效率和安全至關重要。此外,由於它在醫療應用的發展中發揮著重要作用,因此導致可攜式醫療保健監測設備顯著增加。透過準確可靠的診斷,壓力感測器可以追蹤患者的健康狀況。這包括測量血壓、透過輸液幫浦以所需速率輸送適量液體來實現藥物輸注自動化,以及檢查氧氣療法是否與氧氣濃縮機搭配使用。此外,許多人在氣喘發作期間使用吸入器。無效的吸入技術使患者無法獲得治療的全部益處。
此外,這些進步還導致低功耗電子產品、MEMS 技術、能量收集和智慧材料在醫療和保健行業的使用增加。感測器對於這個行業變得至關重要,從基本的醫療設備到先進的分散式醫療系統、準確的診斷和患者病情的早期預警,感測器在各個方面都發揮著重要作用。此外,不引人注目的感測解決方案的開發也為改善患者健康鋪平了道路。
氣喘和慢性阻塞性肺病(COPD)等呼吸系統疾病的增加推動了對醫療感測器的高需求,從而推動了市場的成長。穿戴式醫療感測器廣泛應用於機器人技術中,以協助機械手指操縱精緻的物體,並在醫療領域中用於監測生命徵象。傳統的軟電容壓力感測器僅限於在低於 3kPa 的壓力下運行,因此即使是基本的衣服(例如緊身衣服)也會影響性能。
在預測期內,家庭醫療保健類別預計將出現良好的成長。由於醫院和其他醫療機構的診斷成本高昂,診斷套件等家庭醫療設備比醫院更受青睞。這些廉價的診斷試劑套件易於使用並且可以快速提供結果。美國勞工統計局預測,更容易使用的診斷套件將促進並增加家庭檢測的頻率,進而對居家醫療產業產生積極影響。
維護資料隱私、互通性和市場准入需要強大的安全措施、標準化通訊和格式化通訊協定、電池壽命、功能、準確性和全面的資料隱私法規。這些因素阻礙了醫療感測器的技術創新和廣泛使用。
此外,人工智慧 (AI) 感測器、植入式感測器和其他最尖端科技的開發成本高昂,阻礙了醫院和資金緊張的患者採用這些技術。維護費和訂閱費也進一步限制了醫療感測器的使用。
醫療感測器市場的地理前景
由於美國的醫療保健成本最高,因此醫療感測器市場預計將佔據最高的市場佔有率。該國的醫療保健費用非常昂貴,因此很少有人擁有保險,而且該國沒有全民健保制度。此外,在美國,人們正在從基於數量的護理轉向基於價值的護理。不斷變化的醫療保健市場動態將透過降低成本來改善患者的治療結果。因此,人口老化和慢性疾病患者高盛行率等人口因素的變化可能會繼續成為預測期內醫療感測器市場成長的關鍵驅動力。
The medical sensors market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.94%, reaching a market size of US$3.027 billion in 2029 from US$2.250 billion in 2024.
Medical sensor' demand is driven by major factors such as rising healthcare costs and the latest trend of home healthcare. The use of these sensors has surged across various geographies due to technological advancements. Healthcare professionals are also recommending them more frequently for efficient patient monitoring as they are now considered an effective method of diagnosing cancer, respiratory disorders, and cardiovascular diseases, thereby providing a significant boost to the medical sensors market growth. However, the stringent regulations for developing and approving medical devices may threaten to impede the market's growth in the forecast period.
Wearable technology is a major factor in the growing IoT (Internet of Things) market for healthcare which is increasing the demand for medical sensors. Vital signs that are directly recorded in an electronic format, such as blood pressure and patient temperature, can be monitored due to these medical sensors. The demand for this equipment has been driven by the rising prevalence of chronic illnesses and the world's rapidly ageing population. The target population for sensor-based devices is the large elderly population subset and chronically ill patients, as they must have regular checkups, allowing for remote and point-of-care patient monitoring.
Pressure sensors are essential for medical devices to continue improving the quality of a more efficient and secure operation. Furthermore, since they started playing a crucial role in the development of medical applications, they caused a noticeable rise in portable healthcare monitoring devices. Through precise and trustworthy diagnostics, pressure sensors can track how healthy a patient is. This may include taking blood pressure readings, automating drug infusion by delivering the proper amount of fluid at the desired rate via infusion pumps, or checking if oxygen therapy works in oxygen concentrators. Furthermore, many people also take inhalers during asthma attacks. Ineffective inhaler techniques prevent patients from receiving the full benefits of their treatment.
Moreover, the medical and healthcare industries are using low-power electronics, MEMS technology, power harvesting, and smart materials more frequently as a result of these advancements. Sensors have been essential to this industry, helping with everything from basic medical devices to sophisticated distributed healthcare systems, precise diagnosis, and early warning of patients' medical conditions. Moreover, the avenue for improved patient health has been cleared by the development of inconspicuous sensing solutions.
High demand for medical sensors is being fueled by increasing incidences of respiratory diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which is driving market growth. Wearable medical sensors are widely used in robotics to assist mechanical fingers in manipulating delicate objects and in medicine to monitor vital signs. Even basic apparel, like tight-fitting garments, can have an impact on performance because conventional soft capacitive pressure sensors are limited to operating at pressures lower than 3 kPa.
Throughout the forecast period, the home healthcare category is expected to experience lucrative growth. The escalating preference for home healthcare equipment, like diagnostic kits, over hospitals can be attributed to the high cost of diagnosis in hospitals and other healthcare facilities. These inexpensive diagnostic kits are easy to use and provide instant results. According to projections by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, more user-friendly diagnostic kits will encourage home testing increasing its frequency and subsequently impacting on home healthcare industry positively.
Strong security measures, standardized communication and format protocols, battery life, functionality, accuracy, and comprehensive data privacy regulations are needed to preserve data privacy, interoperability, and market entry. These factors are hindering innovation and the broader use of medical sensors.
Furthermore, the high development costs associated with artificial intelligence (AI)-)-enabled sensors, implantable sensors, and other cutting-edge technologies are impeding their adoption by hospitals and financially strapped patients. The maintenance and subscription fees will also put additional brakes on the use of medical sensors.
Medical Sensors Market Geographical Outlook
Due to the highest health spending in the United States, the medical sensors market is estimated to hold the highest market share. Healthcare is so expensive in the country; a good number of people have insurance, and the country lacks a universal healthcare system. Moreover, in the United States, people are moving from volume-based to value-based care. A shift in the healthcare market dynamics leads to improved patient outcomes at reduced costs. Hence, changing demographic factors such as an ageing population and the high prevalence of chronic disease sufferers will continue to act as major drivers for the medical sensors market growth during the forecast period.
