Cardiac Diseases at an All Time High, Substantial Growth Expected for Wearable Heart Monitoring Devices Market
Market Insights
Cardiovascular diseases have been found to be the leading cause of premature death, worldwide. However, innovative digital developments, and the accelerated development of information technology in the past few years has transformed the healthcare industry. With the advent of devices that monitor cardiovascular functions wirelessly and the integration of these devices with patient care, the market for wearable heart monitoring devices has grown at an exponential rate.
Market Research Future has identified trends, and factors that affect growth in thier recent research report on wearable heart monitoring devices. The growing ownership and use of smartphones, globally has paved the path for wearable monitoring and this is expected to drive robust growth for this market during the forecast period. Other factors influencing growth are the affordability of these monitoring devices, ease of use and a strong requirement for constant monitoring of heart conditions.
Dearth of awareness about relevant products, and the developing healthcare sectors in emerging economies are some of the challenges that this market faces. However, appropriate market strategies may be used to address and mitigate these challenges and turn them into growth oppurtunities instead. Stringent FDA approvals are expected to restrain the market. Despite this, the market is projected to experience an estimated growth of 9.86% CAGR during the forecast period 2017 to 2023.

Regional Analysis
The Americas and Europe are the top two leading global markets respectively. A well developed healthcare sector, rapid adoption of modern technology and a huge patient population have influenced significant growth in these regions. Additionally, they have a prevelance of atrial fibrilation(AFib) which requires continuous monitoring, this is a major driver for these regions. Meanwhile, Europe is expected to see significant growth due to the availabilty of research funding and encouraging government support for the same.
Asia Pacific is projected to be the fastest growing regional market segment. This can largely be attributed to increasing healthcare spending in emerging economies such as India and China. Widespread use of smartphones and a rising demand for effective, modern monitoring options, supportive government policies and the unrealised potential of this market are expected to present oppurtunity for robust growth.
The Middle East and Africa have the smallest global market share. Under-developed economies, particularly in Africa are impoverished and restrictive of growth in this region. However, the presence of developed health sectors in Middle Eastern countries such as Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Qatar are expected to fuel growth for part of the region.
