Patient monitoring equipment market – Market dynamics
Key factor driving market growth
The need for remote monitoring of patients drives the global patient monitoring equipment market during the forecast period. The main feature of the remote patient monitoring (RPM) system is that it enables healthcare providers to track patients outside of traditional healthcare settings. There is an increasing preference for remote patient monitoring among patients who prefer to receive care at home or in remote areas with limited access to healthcare facilities. The increasing need for hospital readmissions, enhanced patient convenience, and early detection of potential health issues are positively impacting the market growth. Hence, such factors are expected to impact the market growth during the forecast period.

Leading trends influencing the market
Several advancements in patient monitoring equipment are a key trend in the global patient monitoring equipment market. The advancement in technology, such as the development of wireless and wearable devices, has revolutionized the healthcare industry. The main advantage of these devices is that they are able to monitor vital signs, activity levels, and other physiological parameters continuously without restricting the patient’s mobility. Additionally, these devices can transmit data wirelessly to healthcare professionals and also facilitate real-time monitoring and abnormalities. Furthermore, the integration of artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies with patient monitoring equipment which has led to enhancing its accuracy, automating data analysis, and enabling predictive analytics. Hence, such factors are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.

Major challenges hindering the market growth
Stringent regulations on medical equipment are a significant challenge hindering the global patient monitoring equipment market. The regulatory environment for medical equipment has many stringent rules and guidelines, which include manufacturers of patient monitoring equipment. For example, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other regulatory agencies in the US enforce strict compliance monitoring obligations on manufacturers of medical equipment, including patient monitoring equipment. Some of the key regulatory agencies in the US which monitor the advertising associated with medical equipment include the Federal Trade Commission, the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services, the US Department of Justice, and the Attorney Generals of various states. Hence, such stringent regulations are expected to hinder the global patient monitoring equipment market growth during the forecast period. Technavio
