As the Vital Signs Monitoring Market continues to evolve, it remains instrumental in improving patient outcomes, supporting early detection of health issues, and contributing to the overall advancement of personalized and remote patient care.
Vital signs monitoring equipment and devices are medical devices used in monitoring the vital signs of a patient. This can be used in the intensive care unit, surgeries, and general ward for critical cases. Such equipment have undergone a digital metamorphosis and can be monitored remotely or virtually. The global vital signs monitoring market report by Market Research Future (MRFR) has been compiled by a mix of primary and secondary research which has been collated, verified, and formed from a commercial point of view. Its drivers, hurdles, opportunities, and threats have been explored for the period of 2018 to 2023 (forecast period) as well as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The global vital signs monitoring market size can accrue revenue at 8.42% CAGR over the forecast period. Its value stood at USD 4.2 billion in 2022. Huge prevalence of chronic diseases is one of the biggest drivers of the market. There are close to 200,000 cardiac arrests in hospitals across the U.S. But the presence of vital signs monitoring equipment can lower these numbers and raise health outcomes.
The large geriatric population offers a great opportunity for the global vital signs monitoring market to expand. The growing patient inflow, high hospital expenses, and need to curb healthcare costs can culminate in the populace procuring wearable devices for home use. The rise in mortality rates due to a delay in diagnosis can act as a catalyst for demand for these devices.
But strict regulations regarding approval and high costs of these devices can hamper market growth.
