Medical Sensors Market Driver

Technological Advancements in Sensor Technology 

• Innovations in sensor technology such as the shrinking of sensor sizes, greater precision, and connectivity are contributing to the expansion of the global medical sensors market. Sophisticated sensors supported with the Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence make it possible to monitor the health of patients and their treatments remotely, thus increasing the request for wearable, implantable and diagnostic medical sensors. 

Rising Prevalence of Chronic Diseases 

• The prevalence of chronic illnesses like diabetes, crest vascular diseases, and respiratory diseases is gradually surging which is one of the factors that contribute to the growth of the global medical sensor market. These conditions amass the need to monitor health ceaselessly, hence the increasing requirements for devices that are based on sensors which can measure and monitor bodily signs and other health parameters in real time. 

Restraints 

Limited Reimbursement Policies 

• The absence of well-rounded coverage policies for medical devices especially medical sensors in emerging countries hinders the growth of the market. The majority of health care systems do not reimburse the cost of advanced sensor-based devices in full, leading to limited adoption of the devices among patients and healthcare practitioners. 

Regulatory and Approval Challenges 

• Approval processes for medical sensors are numerous and complex which hampers the growth of the market. It is the safety and efficacy standards of agencies like the FDA and EMA that can hamper the selling of the product on the market due to high launch costs and prolonged development time that are required to meet the expectations of the agencies. This works to thwart the maturing process of new sensor technology designed to create sensors for new applications.
