Report Overview

The global portable medical devices market size was valued at USD 63.0 billion in 2022 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.30 % from 2023 to 2030. An increase in chronic diseases due to changing lifestyles, a preference for home healthcare, and a rise in the geriatric population is anticipated to positively impact the market growth in the coming years. Furthermore, the growing demand for wearable electronics and wireless medical devices are among a few key factors for the market growth. Rising awareness among the population regarding the benefits of portable devices and the proliferation of smart technologies is also contributing to the adoption of portable medical devices in hospital and healthcare settings.

 U.S. portable medical devices market size, by product, 2020 - 2030 (USD Billion)

Increasing aging population & the prevalence of chronic diseases globally, and the demand for home-based monitoring equipment are driving market expansion. For instance, according to the American Cancer Society's 2022 annual report, the projected number of new cancer cases in the U.S. was approximately 1.9 million, and over 500,000 people suffered critical illness leading to mortality from cancer in the country. Due to the high projected incidence of cancer and high mortality rate, there will be an increase in the use of health monitoring equipment among the affected population.

The rising emphasis on health & fitness among adults worldwide and the focus of national & regional healthcare agencies on diagnosis & monitoring has significantly contributed to the increase in demand for fitness trackers. Wearables aid in the evaluation of athletes' performances, physiological parameters, and body kinetics. Thus, increasing the adoption of wearables among professional athletes is anticipated to positively impact the market expansion. For instance, a 2021 article by RunRepeat claims that more than 445 million wearable fitness gadgets were sold in 2020, and the pandemic caused a 31% increase in sales.

The pandemic resulted in a significant demand for remote monitoring and patient engagement solutions, and manufacturers are increasingly focusing on expanding production to meet the growing need for portable monitoring devices. These devices play a significant role in combating COVID-19 infection and monitoring patients. For instance, the demand for monitoring devices, such as blood pressure monitors and temperature monitoring devices has drastically increased during the first phase of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, as there were critical parameters to be looked at for identifying the presence of the virus.

In addition, healthcare companies responded swiftly to the COVID-19 outbreak by offering a significant number of medical equipment for remote patient monitoring. For instance, in April 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (U.S. FDA) granted Abbott and Dexcom permission to deploy continuous glucose monitoring devices in hospitals in order to decrease contact with patients and remotely manage their health. Moreover, the pandemic has had a positive impact on the companies' sales due to the increased sales volume of the devices across countries worldwide. For instance, Koninklijke Philips N.V.’s connected care business segment generated a revenue of USD 6,834.0 million in 2020, an increase of 19.1% compared to 2019. Thus, the increased awareness among the population facilitated the strong adoption of the devices during COVID-19.

Product Insights

Monitoring devices dominated the market with a share of 48.6% in 2022. This can be attributed to the growing adoption in healthcare centers. Technological advancements, advantages such as mobility and compact design, and new product approvals are some other factors driving the market. For instance, in August 2020, Fitbit released the Fitbit Sense smartwatch, which, among other features, included the first-of-its-kind electrodermal activity sensor for stress management.

 Global portable medical devices market share, by product, 2022 (%)

The Diagnostics segment held the second-largest market share in terms of revenue in 2022 owing to the increasing adoption of X-ray, CT scans, handheld ultrasound systems, and endoscopes among other systems in healthcare settings. Development of smaller, technologically advanced imaging platforms and subsequent product approvals are some other factors boosting the market. For instance, in July 2022, Fujifilm Europe introduced an innovative & portable hybrid C-arm and practical X-ray machine. The FDR cross-device is intended to deliver excellent fluoroscopic and static X-ray pictures during surgical treatment and additional medical procedures.

The smart wearable devices segment is expected to witness the fastest CAGR in the forecast period. This can be attributed to the rising demand for fitness and wristbands for long-term continuous health monitoring. Focus on preventive healthcare and the growing adoption of technologically advanced products are also expected to contribute to the growth of the portable medical devices market.

Application Insights

The other application segment which consists of oncology, musculoskeletal, thoracic, vascular, and metabolic applications, accounted for the largest market share in terms of revenue in 2022. The growing prevalence of cancer coupled with rising usage of diagnostic imaging and image-guided therapy systems is one of the key factors attributed to this growth. Moreover, the rising prevalence of diabetes and the adoption of advanced therapeutics is also contributing to the segment growth.

Cardiology held the second most prominent position in the market. This can be attributed to technological advancements and new product development in cardiology. Furthermore, technologies available in clinical settings, such as heart rate and rhythm monitors and blood pressure monitors, are now directly available to consumers, which is expected to boost demand for these products.

Gynecology is expected to register the maximum growth during the forecast period. The segment growth can be attributed to growing prevalence of gynecological disorders, such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and adenomyosis. As per an article published in the BMC Women's Health in July 2022, in China, dysmenorrhea was the most prevalent gynecological disorder with a prevalence of around 45.96%, followed by 19.04% of PCOS, 14.23% of uterine fibroids, 13.20% of spontaneous abortion, 11.16% of ovarian dysfunction, and around 4.09% of endometriosis.

Regional Insights

North America dominated the market with a share of 39.7% in 2022. Major factors contributing to the growth of this region include high penetration of diagnostic, therapeutic, and monitoring portable medical devices for disease management. A rising burden of chronic diseases and a growing geriatric population are also driving the market. According to the CDC, in July 2022, 12.1 million people in the U.S. were expected to have (AFib) atrial fibrillation by the year 2030. Therefore, the growing prevalence of AFib is anticipated to boost market growth, as patients with this condition require constant monitoring.

Portable Medical Devices Market Trends, by Region, 2023 - 2030

Europe held the second-largest revenue share of the global market. The UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain are the main markets in this region. Increasing geriatric population in developed countries, such as the UK, Germany, Italy, & France, and the presence of high unmet needs in Eastern Europe are some of the factors anticipated to drive growth over the forecast period.

Asia Pacific, on the other hand, is expected to attain a significant CAGR in the forecast period. Rise in the geriatric population, the growing prevalence of diabetes, escalating incidences of heart diseases, and an increase in disposable income along with the adoption of smart wearables are attributed to the regional market growth.

Key Companies & Market Share Insights
