Innovativeness Begets Market Penetration for Wearable Medical Devices Competitors, Says TMR Date: 03-16-2017 07:26 PM CET Category: Health & Medicine Press release from: Transparency Market Research - Medical Devices
The top five providers of wearable medical devices held over 47% of the market in 2014, finds Transparency Market Research (TMR) in a new study. Key companies – such as Medtronic Plc., OMRON Corporation, Fitbit, Inc., and Polar Electro – have helped strengthen this otherwise fragmented market. Through a strong presence in wearable medical devices meant for home healthcare, OMRON Corporation had held one of the largest revenue shares of close to 11% in 2014. Their product emphasis is particularly high on pedometers, blood pressure monitors, and similar home healthcare medical devices. Another key player, Fitbit, Inc., has made its mark in consumer electronics through its widely popular wearable fitness devices series.

According to TMR, the large number of regional players makes for a highly competitive landscape. Smaller players are constantly pushing innovative boundaries in order to gain market share, while the larger names enjoy a greater amount of consumers’ trust and have a strong distribution chain. High Innovation Rate and Growing Patient Pool Drive Wearable Medical Devices Sales “The two key drivers that players in the wearable medical devices can latch on to are the giant scope of innovation and the growing number of people that need these devices,” states a TMR expert. “Market penetration is, however, easier said than done, due to the large number of players that already exist on regional and global scales. But despite these numbers, the right kind of innovative effort can bring about major success for new entrants in wearable medical devices.” Companies are generally providing devices for two types of customers. The first is the wealthy, tech-savvy consumer who is highly conscious about his/her health, and the second type comes from a lower economic bracket and is looking for cheaper devices that provide basic utilities. Targeting both audiences can prove to be successful with the right kind of products and concepts, and will additionally depend on the region in which a player wishes to hold base.
