Blood Pressure Monitoring Devices Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product (Sphygmomanometers/Aneroid BP Monitors, Ambulatory BP Monitors), By End-use, By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2021 - 2028

Report Overview

The global blood pressure monitoring devices market size was valued at USD 1.4 billion in 2020 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.2% from 2021 to 2028. Increasing incidences of hypertension due to changing lifestyles are contributing to the growth of the market over the forecast period. According to the estimates published by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2019, around 1.15 billion people around the globe have hypertension, which is a major cause behind premature death worldwide. The demand for BP monitors is very high on account of the growing geriatric population and increasing risk of lifestyle associated disorders among a wide population due to the rising incidences of obesity and sedentary lifestyle.

Initiatives taken by the government such as public blood pressure monitoring program to create awareness amongst people and maintain the database created by remotely operational BP monitors are expected to further propel growth during the forecast period. For instance, in February 2019, an activity funded by the American Medical Association (AMA), named The Integrated Health Model Initiative (IHMI), launched a data management model for providing opportunities to improve health outcomes.

Advancements such as mobile-based BP monitoring systems and digital sphygmomanometer are anticipated to drive the demand. Improvement in devices for measuring blood pressure is positively impacting the market growth. Wearable and portable devices and mobiles are gaining popularity owing to the associated benefits such as the wireless transmission of patient information and easy handling. New technologies such as mHealth, which supports treatment and medication compliances for patients in chronic disease management, are expected to fuel market growth. It helps in tracking the patient’s health information, medication schedule, and follow up for the treatment. These associated advantages are expected to propel the market growth.

The increasing burden of hypertension globally leads to an increase in the demand for home monitoring devices. In addition, the benefits associated with automated devices such as repetitive measurements of blood pressure to check the accuracy and banned mercury devices are contributing to the market growth. Self-measurement devices are gaining popularity during the forecast period due to the associated benefits such as good monitoring, detection, and control. Automated blood pressure monitors are available in different forms, including arm, wrist, and finger, for the measurement of blood pressure.

New product launches, along with technological advancements, are further expected to fuel the demand. For instance, in May 2018, Hill-Rom launched Welch Allyn home blood pressure monitors and digital scale products in the U.S. In addition, a rising preference for home healthcare, coupled with awareness about the importance of early diagnosis of hypertension and cardiac diseases, is expected to boost the market growth.

Product Insights

The sphygmomanometers/aneroid BP monitors accounted for the largest share of over 40.0% in 2020. Technological advancements, coupled with new product launches, are expected to further fuel the demand for sphygmomanometers globally. For instance, in January 2017, Omron Healthcare, Inc. launched Omron EVOLV, a wireless, portable upper arm blood pressure monitor. Demand for digital sphygmomanometer is expected to grow in the years to come due to associated advantages, such as accurate results and ease of use.

In addition, continuous technological improvements such as advances in wearable technology, apps, and mobiles in the consumer healthcare segment, the declining average selling price for retailers and manufacturers, and rising penetration in the professional market are the factors propelling the market growth. Technologically advanced digital BP monitors available in the market are Microlife WatchBP home A, QardioArm, LifeSource Advanced one-step auto inflate blood pressure monitor, and iHealth blood pressure monitor from Omron healthcare.

Blood pressure cuffs are expected to grow at a significant rate over the forecast period due to the increasing usage of blood pressure monitors, which is attributed to the growing incidence of high blood pressure. These cuffs are available in different sizes according to the patient type. Two types of cuffs: disposable and reusable are available in the market. Amongst this, the disposable segment is anticipated to expand at a high CAGR due to the rising adoption of eco-friendly products and increasing concerns about hospital-based cross-contamination events. For instance, in July 2020, Vancouver Coastal Health—a regional health authority—replaced its reusable blood pressure cuffs with disposable ones to prevent cross-contamination and limit the spread of COVID-19, thereby increasing the demand for disposable blood pressure cuffs by its affiliated members.

End-use Insights

The hospitals segment dominated the market in 2020 with a share of more than 60.0% due to the presence of a large patient pool. The adoption of BP monitoring devices is driven by the need for cost-effective, fast, and accurate diagnostic tools for better health outcomes. Hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers and clinics, and home healthcare are the end-use segments analyzed in the market.

Home healthcare is anticipated to witness rapid growth over the forecast period. The cost-efficiency of this alternative option for BP monitoring, along with the availability of smart wearables that offer mobility, is expected to support the segment growth. Therefore, inclination toward independent living is expected to propel the home healthcare segment growth.

In 2020, the demand for in-home health management witnessed significant growth due to the spread of COVID-19. For instance, according to a report published by Omron, its home healthcare business segment witnessed an increased demand for thermometers and blood pressure monitors in Europe, Japan, and Central and South America during the pandemic.

Regional Insights

North America held the largest revenue share of more than 45.0% in 2020 as it has a highly regulated and developed healthcare infrastructure. Increasing investments in the development of accurate and effective BP monitors are expected to contribute to the regional market growth in the coming years.

Moreover, new product launches, along with technological advancements, are expected to fuel the market growth. For instance, in May 2018, Hill-Rom launched Welch Allyn home blood pressure monitors and digital scale products in the U.S. Moreover, a rising preference for home healthcare, coupled with the awareness about the importance of early diagnosis of hypertension and cardiac diseases, is further expected to boost the market growth in North America.

Asia Pacific is expected to grow at a rapid pace over the forecast owing to the presence of untapped opportunities, increasing investments by manufacturers, growing awareness levels, and rising incidences of hypertension. Rapidly improving healthcare facilities and the rising number of undiagnosed and untreated cases of high BP are the key factors contributing to the regional market growth.

Supportive government initiatives for increasing awareness among people and a rapidly growing target disease population base are further contributing to the lucrative growth of the market in this region. For instance, in May 2018, The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), in collaboration with the Public Health Foundation of India, has launched a “May Measurement Month 2018” campaign to spread awareness about blood pressure, which is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in India.
