Market Trends of Medical Connectors Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Medical Connectors Market according to our research experts:
Patient Monitoring Segment is Expected to Hold the Large Share in the Market Studied During the Forecast Period
During minor and major procedures, patient monitoring devices are used to monitor a patient's clinical symptoms and related complications. In addition, these devices can be used to track patients' physiological data via advances in wireless technology. Rising incidence and prevalence of chronic diseases are expected to drive segment growth. Such instruments are a crucial part of various healthcare facilities, as they are designed to help physicians assess a disease's severity. Based on the article published in Circulation Research in May 2021, in France, over one million people were affected by heart failure (HF) in 2020 and there were more than 150,000 hospitalizations despite well-defined treatment management. Thus, the growing prevalence of chronic diseases is expected to boost segment growth during the forecast period.
In addition, increasing product approvals are expected to boost the market during the forecast period. For instance, in August 2022, Dozee and Midmark India, a South Asian producer of hospital beds and ancillary furniture with a strong presence in the nation, collaborated to develop India's first connected bed platform, which would automate and integrate patient monitoring in hospital beds, primarily in non-ICU settings.
Thus, all the aforementioned factors are expected to boost segment growth during the forecast period.
North America Dominates the Market and Expects to do Same During the Forecast Period
North America is expected to dominate the overall medical connectors market during the forecast period. This is owing to factors such as the rising incidence of chronic diseases such as cancer, blood disorders, autoimmune diseases, and other diseases. In addition, the availability of advanced healthcare infrastructure is one of the major factors. In the North American region, the United States holds the largest market share owing to factors such as the increasing population suffering from cancer. In addition, product launches by market players. For instance, according to the Canadian Cancer Society's 2021 report, about 229,200 new cancer cases were expected in Canada in 2021. On average, 628 Canadians are diagnosed with cancer every day, which is further expected to increase in the future. Lung, breast, colorectal, and prostate cancers are the most common types of cancer in Canada (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer). Thus, the growing prevalence of chronic diseases in the region is likely to support the growth of the market.
Additionally, product launches by the market players are expected to boost the market growth. For instance, in October 2022, Binder USA launched the Series 570 Easy Locking Connector (ELC), designed to meet the specific electromechanical connectivity requirements for use in medical devices. Biocompatible, non-irritating to skin, and resistant to disinfectants, this connector is ideal for usage in the patient environment.
Therefore, owing to the above-mentioned factors, the North American region is expected to register growth during the forecast period.
