Market Trends of Medical Devices Cuffs Industry
The Blood Pressure Cuffs Segment to Register Significant Growth in the Medical Devices Cuffs Market
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a common health condition affecting a significant portion of the global population. Regular monitoring of blood pressure is crucial for managing hypertension and reducing the risk of related complications such as heart disease, stroke, and kidney problems. Medical cuffs are essential components of blood pressure monitors that are used for routine monitoring of blood pressure levels. According to the data published by the American Heart Association in June 2024, high blood pressure cases in the US population are expected to rise from 51.2% in 2020 to 61% by 2050. With a larger proportion of the population affected by high blood pressure, there will be a surge in the demand for blood pressure monitoring devices that incorporate medical cuffs, driving the segment growth.
Additionally, manufacturers are focused on developing innovative, cost-effective, and easy-to-use products. For instance, in July 2024, Smart Meter rolled out a cellular-connected, multi-cuff blood pressure monitor specifically designed for remote patient monitoring (RPM) and chronic care management.
Thus, the rising number of hypertension patients who need frequent blood pressure monitoring and the launch of advanced cuffs to facilitate patient monitoring are expected to fuel the segment growth over the forecast period.
Asia-Pacific is Expected to Dominate the Market During the Forecast Period
Countries in Asia-Pacific, such as China, India, Japan, and South Korea, have been investing heavily in developing their healthcare infrastructure. This includes the expansion of hospitals, clinics, and healthcare facilities, which increases the demand for medical cuffs used in various medical procedures and patient care.
Asia-Pacific is home to a significant portion of the global population. Factors such as the growing elderly population and a rising burden of chronic diseases are expected to bolster the market growth. This demographic trend drives the demand for medical cuffs to monitor vital signs, such as blood pressure, in both clinical settings and home care environments. According to the data published by the Journal of Health, Population, and Nutrition in August 2023, the prevalence of hypertension in India is expected to rise to 44% by 2030, representing a 17% increase from 2012 to 2013.
Moreover, there is a growing emphasis on preventive healthcare in many countries in Asia-Pacific. This shift toward preventive care encourages individuals to monitor their health regularly, including blood pressure monitoring. Medical cuffs play a crucial role in this preventive healthcare approach, leading to increased adoption and demand.
Thus, growing emphasis on preventive healthcare and increasing prevalence of hypertension are some factors that are boosting the demand for medical cuffs in the region.
