United States Market Report for Pulse Oximetry Monitoring 2016-2017 - Research and Markets

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "US Market Report for Pulse Oximetry Monitoring 2017 - MedCore" report to their offering.

The market for peripheral pulse oximetry includes both stand-alone bedside, handheld and fingertip monitors, in addition to the associated reusable and disposable sensors and OEM device boards. Growth in the total market will primarily be driven by high volumes of disposable sensors used in hospital settings, with a strong preference for disposable sensors that have become standard, for example in surgical and critical care settings. With the exception of the fingertip segment, the pulse oximetry monitor market is mature and sales are largely made on a replacement-basis.

Sensor sales will increase primarily with the growing incidence of disease and hospitals admission rates, driven in part by the growing percentage of individuals over the age of 65. There continues to be a strong push for more monitoring in both hospitals (unmonitored wards and medical surgery) and alternate care settings (long-term care facilities and skilled nursing facilities). Both disposable and reusabl segments will be able to take advantage of the anticipated growth, although competition between vendors will be significant. Additionally, although not discusses separately herein, the retail market for non FDA-approved pulse oximetry devices continues to grow as the customers look to take proactive action to better manage their health or chronic conditions.
