The pulse oximeter market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.64% during the forecast period to be valued at US$3.231 billion in 2030 from US$2.343 billion in 2025.
Pulse oximeters work on the principle of pulse oximetry, which is used to determine the fraction of oxygen-saturated haemoglobin relative to the total haemoglobin. Pulse oximeters are widely used in the healthcare industry for monitoring the blood oxygen levels of patients in emergencies, operations, and intensive care units, thereby boosting market growth. Also, factors such as declining costs and improving result precision will further fuel market growth. The North American region is expected to witness high growth due to the presence of a strong healthcare industry, coupled with a favourable innovation environment and huge research and development expenditure.
Market Trends:
- Rising Prevalence of Chronic Diseases Driving Market Growth: The increasing incidence of conditions such as asthma, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes, ischemic conditions, cardiac arrhythmia, sleep apnea, and COPD is expected to be a key driver of market growth during the forecast period. According to a 2019 report by The Lancet, approximately 390 million people worldwide were affected by COPD, with around 90% of COPD-related deaths occurring in low- and middle-income countries, as reported by the WHO.
- Shift Toward Home-Based Monitoring: Patients with acute respiratory issues are typically monitored using pulse oximetry systems in hospitals or ambulatory surgical centers. However, advancements in technology have enabled home monitoring for patients with chronic health conditions. The market for wearable and handheld pulse oximeters in home settings has been growing and is expected to expand further due to increased health awareness influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic. A significant shift from hospital-based care to home care is anticipated to drive market growth during the forecast period. Additionally, rising demand has encouraged market players to invest in product innovations and develop improved solutions.
