Disposable Medical Sensors Market

Disposable medical sensors market expected to show lucrative growth during the forecast period

The global disposable medical sensors market accounted for US$ 4,461.8 Mn in 2017 and is estimated to attain US$ 8,118.7 Mn by 2026, with a CAGR of 6.81% during the period from 2018 to 2026. Biosensors contribute a larger market share, while image sensors foresaw to grow with a higher CAGR. Biosensors are primarily utilized in diagnostic applications such as glucose testing, HIV testing, pregnancy test devices, etc. The patient monitoring application is gaining larger market attraction, marked with the highest growth rate. Smart connectivity options provide remote monitoring features bridging patients, physicians, and healthcare providers together, thus, contributing to the highest CAGR of wearable sensors.

Pricing of reusable medical sensors being on the higher end, starting from $100 and above, has led to soaring demand for low-cost disposable medical sensors. Hygiene risks associated with reusable medical sensors are minimized in the case of disposable medical sensors, thus propelling market growth. The introduction of Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS) and Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) image sensors that are easy to integrate into devices, resistant to vibration, shock, and radiation, and cost-effective propel the market forward. North America encompassed the highest market share for disposable medical sensors in 2017, while Asia Pacific showed expedited growth during the period from 2018 to 2026. The rising prevalence of lifestyle diseases such as diabetes and obesity, among others, increases demand for disposable medical sensors, ensuring profitable market growth. However, stringent regulatory policies and a lack of reimbursements could have a negative impact on market growth.

Market Synopsis

Image sensors to exhibit a double-digit CAGR during the forecast period

Image sensors show promising growth, attaining the highest CAGR during the forecast period from 2018 to 2026. Technological advancements such as OmniVision Technologies, Inc.’s CMOS technology have led to increased use of disposable endoscopes and laparoscopes. The biosensors segment grabbed supremacy in 2017 and is expected to continue holding the largest market share in 2026 as well. Increased diagnostic products for infectious diseases, the emergence of patient monitoring devices such as continuous glucose monitors (CGM), and the increased adoption of personalized medicines have all aided the growth of biosensors. Biosensors find their application in HIV testing and pregnancy testing kits as well. Continuous monitoring of vital signs and the recent trend of point-of-care testing increase demand for biosensors. Other products contributing to the overall market growth are pressure sensors, image sensors, flow sensors, temperature sensors, and accelerometer sensors.

Strip sensors contribute the most to the overall growth of the disposable medical sensor market.

Strip sensors dominated the disposable medical sensors market in 2017 and will continue to do so throughout the forecast period from 2018 to 2026. These sensors find varied applications, ranging from infectious disease testing to glucose monitoring. The rise in diabetes is a global concern, which paves the way for the increased utilization of Accu-Chek, a blood glucose monitor owned by Roche Holding AG. Wearable sensors, followed by ingestible sensors, exhibit the highest growth rates during the period from 2018 to 2026. Wearable sensors have gained wide importance in diagnostic as well as patient monitoring applications. For instance, wearable biosensors by Phillips Healthcare and VitalConnect, Inc. aid in monitoring patients’ heart rates, detecting patient motion, and monitoring skin temperature. The advent of capsule endoscopes and smart pills has fueled the growth of ingestible sensors. Advancements in image sensor technology have made the diagnosis of the gastrointestinal tract more efficient, thus supporting the growth of ingestible sensors.

Patient monitoring is the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period.

Disposable medical sensors are utilized in diagnostic, therapeutic, and patient monitoring devices. Patient monitoring shows expedited growth, which is attributed to the latest advancements, such as Smart Connectivity Technology. For instance, smart glucose monitoring devices that help physicians monitor glucose levels remotely are gaining high market demand, and an increase in awareness related to such devices across geographies has led to the overall growth of the disposable medical sensor market. The diagnostic segment held the largest market share in 2017, and it is expected to maintain its dominance from 2018 to 2026. The emergence of disposable diagnostic devices such as disposable endoscopy, spirometry, and glucose testing and newer advancements such as capsule endoscopy and smart pills has contributed to the overall growth of the diagnostic segment.

Technological advancements in Asia-Pacific account for its fastest growth rate.

Among all the geographies studied, North America maintains dominance with the largest market share, followed by Europe and Asia Pacific. Asia Pacific is anticipated to grow at a higher CAGR, followed by Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa during the forecast period from 2018 to 2026. Diabetes has increased the adoption of medical sensors for monitoring purposes in developing economies, contributing to the overall growth of these economies. A large number of medical sensor manufacturers ensures the continuous availability of newer and more advanced technologies, thus contributing to the growth of North America. Improved healthcare infrastructure and the presence of local manufacturers ease the availability of medical sensor devices, further catalyzing the market’s growth in North America.

Partnerships and acquisitions model the competitive scenario of the disposable medical sensor market.

The disposable medical sensors market comprises an extensive competitive pool spread across geographies with the presence of market leaders such as G.E. Healthcare Ltd., Medtronic Plc., and Phillips Healthcare. Partnerships and acquisitions further make this market competitive, reducing opportunities for new, emerging players. On June 30, 2017, Roche announced its agreement on the acquisition of mySugr, involving mySugr’s diabetes monitoring system to integrate with Roche’s Accu-Chek device. However, funding from established and dominant organizations creates opportunities for emerging firms. For instance, VitalCOnnect, Inc., a provider of disposable wireless biosensors, raised around $38 million in Series C funding, which was led by MVM Life Science Partners and Baxter Ventures. This funding would enable it to launch its VitalPatch wearable biosensors in various outpatient settings and hospitals.
