by Pulse oximeters are medical devices that measure the amount of oxygen present in the hemoglobin of a patient’s red blood cells and alert medical practitioners about hypoxemia or oxygen deficiency in the blood. They are widely used while monitoring patients during surgeries, treating respiratory conditions, and caring for newborn infants and the elderly. The growing geriatric population suffering from various chronic respiratory diseases has increased the demand for pulse oximeters.
The global pulse oximeter market is estimated to be valued at US$ 4243.13 Mn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.1% over the forecast period 2024 to 2031, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
One of the major trends in the pulse oximeter market is the growing demand for wireless devices. Wireless pulse oximeters allow flexible remote monitoring of patients without the hassles of wires. This has significantly increased their adoption across home care settings and ambulances. Manufacturers are increasingly focusing on developing fingertip, wearable, and clip sensors for wireless oximeters to improve portability and convenience. Another key trend is the integration of oximeters with smartphones and tablets through Bluetooth for telemonitoring. This allows caregivers to remotely track patients’ oxygen saturation levels and vitals on mobile devices. Technological advancements have led to the emergence of reflective pulse oximeters without probes that provide contact-free measurements. Such innovative products are expected to witness high demand going forward.
