Market Growth Factors

The increasing utilization of disposable medical sensors in radiological, cardiological, and neurological procedures is expected to offer growth opportunities to the global market. These sensors are used for transmitting and detecting vital signs such as oxygen saturation, pulse rate, heart rate, body temperature, and blood pressure in the form of electrical signals. Consequently, these sensors are used in diagnosis and monitoring. Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) increasingly prevail, which drives developers to create single-use disposable sensors, sensors that would limit the risk of contamination and propel market growth.

The global disposable medical sensors market rises with more parties adopting microtechnologies such as microfluidic chips, lab-on-a-chip devices, and medical micro-electro-mechanical systems to increase specificity and sensitivity for monitoring patients, and because patients can spend more on healthcare. Continuous research and developments are leading to more accurate, efficient and user-friendly medical sensors to meet patient's health needs.

The demand for advanced disposable medical sensor products is fueled by regulatory approvals. A prominent example of a US FDA-cleared advanced medical biosensor is the SmartTouchTM disposable sensor from ivWatch, LLC. This sensor detects early signs of IV infiltration. In addition, there is a growing awareness of the need for early diagnosis of these diseases among patients and healthcare professionals, which would create new opportunities for market growth.
