Digital Sphygmomanometer Market Expected to Reach $1,560.50 Million by 2031—Allied Market Research

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Digital Sphygmomanometer Market," The digital sphygmomanometer market size was valued for $942.55 million in 2021 and is estimated to reach $1,560.50 million by 2031, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.2% from 2022 to 2031.  

A digital sphygmomanometer is medical device used for arterial blood pressure measurements in patients. The sphygmomanometer is basically composed of a rubber cuff which is wrapped around the arm, a measuring device to measure cuffs pressure, a bulb to inflate the cuff, and a valve to release the pressure.  

Digital sphygmomanometers provide BP measurements immediately after pushing a button with automated devices or after pre-set intervals without a clinician present (several minutes after pushing a button with fully automated devices). The digital sphygmomanometer offers many advantages such as reduced human error, portable, battery operated, automatic, and easy to use. The digital sphygmomanometer uses oscillometric method which senses the transmission of intra-arterial pulsations through the occluded arm and processes to establish an oscillometric envelope or curve which further displays digital reading of blood pressure.   

The rise in incidences of high blood pressure cases across the world results in demand for effective sphygmomanometer to monitor the blood pressure. This is expected to drive the growth of the market. In addition, many individuals and adults with hypertension are unaware of their condition, because they were never diagnosed, and thus require portable diagnosis equipment. For instance, according to data of World Health Organization 2021, stated that, more than 580 million people were unaware that they suffer from high blood pressure. Further, advantages offered by digital sphygmomanometer and ban on mercury-based sphygmomanometers are anticipated to drive the growth of market.  

For instance, American Diagnostic Corporation offers ‘Advantage Connect 6024N automatic digital BP monitor with Bluetooth’ with advantages such as American Heart Association hypertension scale, 99 readings for each user and superior reporting accuracy, thus availability of various digital sphygmomanometers is the upcoming digital sphygmomanometer market trends.  

In addition, technological advancements and innovations in existing equipment in digital sphygmomanometer such as the development of new techniques to enhance the yield and diagnostic accuracy of digital sphygmomanometer boost the digital sphygmomanometer market forecast. Technological advancements include cuffless blood pressure sensors, pressure sensors for the upper arm which are compatible with smartphones, various applications and remote monitoring systems. Moreover, these digital sphygmomanometers have potential to aid in hypertension control and drug adherence, owing to ofference of repetitive blood pressure readings, enhancing communication with doctors and providing medication alerts, thereby preferred by medical practitioners and patients.  

Further, many key players of the market have adopted collaboration and acquisition strategies for achieving better advancements in digital sphygmomanometer delivery and more accurate results. For instance, Omron healthcare (subsidiary of Omron Corporation) and Mount Sinai Health System have collaborated to help high-risk patients monitor their blood pressure from home with VitalSight, thus such collaboration is expected to drive the growth of market. Growing number of healthcare facilities and professionals across the globe requiring primary diagnostic equipment has enhanced the demand and adoption rate of digital sphygmomanometer. The digital sphygmomanometer market analysis is segmented by type, end user and region.

Depending on type, the market is bifurcated into arm devices and wrist devices. The arm devices segment accounted for the largest digital sphygmomanometer market share in 2021, and is also expected to remain dominant during the forecast period, owing to rise in adoption of this devices owing to higher accuracy and recommended by national health authorities of many countries. The wrist devices segment is projected to register highest CAGR during forecast period owing increasing popularity of these devices as these devices offer comfortability and less pain during monitoring of blood pressure.    

On the basis of end user, the market is categorized into hospitals and clinics, home care settings & others. The hospitals and clinics segment occupied highest digital sphygmomanometer market share in 2021 owing to preference of large number of patients due to its cost effectiveness. The home care settings segment is projected to register highest CAGR during forecast period rise in adoption of homecare digital sphygmomanometers with advanced technology which can also transfer wireless transfer of patient's information to physicians.  

Region wise, North America is expected to witness highest digital sphygmomanometer market size, in terms of revenue, owing to increase in adoption of digital sphygmomanometers by physicians & patients, rise in number of hypertension cases and rise in healthcare infrastructure drive the growth of digital sphygmomanometer market. However, Asia-Pacific is anticipated to witness notable growth, owing to increase in demand by consumers, rise in investments for development of digital sphygmomanometer and increase in number of key players manufacturing digital sphygmomanometers, drives the growth of market during the forecast period.  Upsurge in healthcare expenditure in the emerging economies is anticipated to offer lucrative opportunities for the market expansion.
