Increasing Prevalence of Respiratory Diseases Drives Market Growth

The growing prevalence of the respiratory diseases is related to the decrease in the size of the upper airway lumen with increasing age of individuals. A large percentage of population suffers from various types of respiratory diseases globally. Smoking, genetic factors, and infections are among the common factors causing respiratory diseases. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), sleep apnea, cardiac arrhythmia, ischemic conditions, diabetes, hypertension, and asthma are among the medical conditions exerting significant burden on public healthcare system in various countries. As per the American Lung Association, COPD is the third leading cause of death in the US, wherein more than 16.4 million people are diagnosed with the condition. In addition, as per the US Department of Health and Human Services, ~25 million people in the US had asthma in 2019, which is one of the world’s most common respiratory diseases. The patients suffering from these respiratory disorders commonly experience difficulty in breathing and oxygen shortage. A pulse oximeter provides a non-invasive and safe method for the measurement of oxygen saturation.

The increasing number of COVID-19 cases worldwide is also boosting the demand for pulse oximeters. The continuous monitoring of respiratory parameters is one of the prime stages in the treatment of COVID-19 patients. Therefore, for the accurate management and treatment of COVID-19 cases, healthcare professionals are dependent on pulse oximeters and other multi-parameter monitors. Moreover, different types of pulse oximeter devices are being widely used for routine monitoring at home.

Based on sensor type, the global pulse oximeters market is segmented into reusable, and disposable. The reusable segment held the largest share of the market in 2019 and is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The growth can be ascribed to increasing COVID-19 patient worldwide.

End User Insights

Based on end user, the global pulse oximeters market is segmented into hospitals, clinics, and others. The clinics segment held the largest share of the market in 2019, and  others is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

A pulse oximeter is a small, lightweight device to monitor the amount of oxygen carried in the body. Fingertip pulse oximeters are non-invasive, easy to use and compact in size, which makes them a preferred option for infants and neonates. It attaches to fingertip, and sends two wavelengths of light to measure the pulse rate and oxygen level. Once the assessment is completed, the screen displays the percent of oxygen and current pulse rate. People with heart or breathing problems are dependent on finger pulse oximeters that help them manage these conditions. For example, patients with asthma can use oximeters to assess the severity of attacks. As per the CDC, in the US around 19.2 million adults have asthma. Accurate pulse rate and SpO2 readings are particularly important for patients who are experiencing frequent drops in oxygen levels.
