The global medical alert systems market was valued at $6.47 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $20.95 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 10.9% from 2021 to 2030.
Medical alert systems are enhanced medical devices designed to offer a fast and more reliable way for elders and users with health issues to communicate with medical services in the case of an emergency. Further, medical alert devices are equipped with a help button that can dial an emergency response center and connect users to live agents. Moreover, the traditional medical alert system consists of a base unit and a portable help button that a user can wear around the house; however, modern medical alert systems include GPS-based mobile solutions and cellular alternatives for users to utilize while on the go, as well as options that automatically send an alarm when a fall is detected.
Further, the medical alert system often, known as a personal emergency response system, is a combination of state-of-the-art communications and computer technology. In addition, medical alert systems such as in-home or mobile alert systems are intended to offer indoor and outdoor real-time user health monitoring solutions. Moreover, the rise in the inclination of elder citizens toward independent living is driving the need for a sustainable personal emergency response system, which is significantly offering growth opportunities for the medical alert systems market.
The medical alert systems market share is expected to witness notable growth during the forecast period, owing to rise in geriatric population and health latency across the globe. Furthermore, technological advancement in medical alert systems has driven the growth of the market. Moreover, rise in favorable healthcare reform and financial assistance by government for senior citizens is expected to propel the medical alert systems market growth during the forecast period.
However, rising incidence of false alarm paired with lower acceptability of technology across seniors are some of the prime factors restraining the market growth. On the contrary, rise in revolution brought by emerging technologies such as IoT and AI and positive growth outlook for healthcare sector with rise in expenditure on medical services is expected to provide lucrative opportunities for the growth of the medical alert systems market during the forecast period.
The outbreak of COVID-19 has significantly boosted the growth of the personal emergency response system technology in 2020 and is expected to witness relatively high growth by the end of 2021. However, the market was principally hit by several obstacles created amid the COVID-19 pandemic such as lack of skilled workforce availability, delay or cancelation of projects owing to partial or complete lockdown globally. In contrast, surge in adoption of internet of Things based smart applications across residential and healthcare sectors is driving the growth of the market during the forecast period.
