Blood Pressure Monitoring Devices Market to Reach US$ 3.8 Bn in 2023 Hypertension is a chronic condition and a leading cause of death globally. Risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney failure will increase due to the rise in blood pressure. Rise in geriatric population, growing sedentary lifestyle, lack of physical activity, and rising stress levels has led to increase in the number of people with hypertension. The geriatric population is more prone to high blood pressure; people above the age of 55 years have 90% risk of developing high blood pressure. Social, behavioral, and metabolic factors determine and contribute to hypertension. Behavioral risk factors such as physical inactivity, unhealthy diet, and consumption of alcohol and tobacco increase the risk of hypertension. Blood pressure monitoring devices help to understand the risk related to blood pressure and help in effective monitoring, measurement, and management of the condition.
The sphygmomanometer segment has been further categorized into mercury sphygmomanometer, aneroid sphygmomanometer, and digital sphygmomanometer. The digital sphygmomanometer sub-segment accounted for the largest share of the sphygmomanometer segment in 2014, as these devices are easier to use than mercury and aneroid sphygmomanometers. These have a built-in stethoscope and gauge for measurement, and the readings are easy to read. The blood pressure transducers segment has been further segmented into reusable transducers and disposable transducers. The blood pressure instrument accessories segment has been sub-segmented into blood pressure cuffs and bladders, bulbs, and valves. The blood pressure cuffs sub-segment held the largest share of the blood pressure instrument and accessories segment. The automated blood pressure monitors segment dominated the global blood pressure monitoring devices market. Growth of this segment is attributed to user-friendly interface, high accuracy, portability, and battery powered features. Moreover, introduction of highly innovative and low priced monitors by the manufacturers would drive the automated blood pressure monitors segment during the forecast period.
