The Blood Pressure Cuffs Market size is estimated at USD 554.10 million in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 737.67 million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 5.89% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
The pandemic has significantly affected the market. The pandemic has led to an increased usage of blood pressure monitoring devices for self-monitoring of symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic to reduce the burden on healthcare facilities by minimizing visits to hospitals and other healthcare facilities. Furthermore, as per the June 2021 guidelines on the Operationalization of COVID-19 Care Services for Children & Adolescents, by the Government of India, the ambulance should have the basic equipment and drugs in anticipation of any medical emergency, including, non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) cuffs. Additionally, although currently, the number of COVID-19 cases had declined, the pandemic has increased awareness among people for the usage of blood pressure monitoring devices, and thus the blood pressure cuff market is expected to project stable growth in the next 4-5 years.
The major factor attributing to the market's growth is the increased prevalence of hypertension globally. Blood pressure monitoring is important for evaluating general health and most of the disease conditions in an individual. It also aids in diagnosing and evaluating treatment for high blood pressure and related conditions, including pregnancy-induced hypertension. For instance, according to statistics released by the World Health Organization in August 2021, there are an estimated 1.28 billion adults worldwide aged 30-79 who have hypertension, with the majority (two-thirds) residing in low- and middle-income countries and an estimated 46% of those adults unaware that they have the condition. Adults with hypertension are only diagnosed and treated in 42% of cases. The increasing risk of hypertension among the population requires constant monitoring of blood pressure which is expected to increase the demand for blood pressure cuffs, thereby boosting the market growth.
Furthermore, product advancements are another factor driving the market growth. For instance, in February 2021, SunTech Medical Inc., and Valencell Inc., introduced a proof of concept for DeltaTrak technology. The innovation combines the gold-standard accuracy of SunTech's Advantage cuff-based BP and its superior motion tolerance capabilities, with continuous interpolative BP monitoring from Valencell's optical photoplethysmography technology between cuff readings. Such technological advancement introduces better constant monitoring and support for the patients which increases its adoption and thus increase the market growth.
Thus, the abovementioned factors such as increasing hypertension and product advancements are expected to increase the market growth over the forecast period. However, the threat of infection for reusable blood pressure cuffs may restrain the market's growth.
Automated blood pressure cuffs use an automated system to analyze blood pressure with the help of a sensor. An oscillometer is a sensor used in automatic cuffs to detect the return of arterial blood flow. Factors such as increasing obesity and product launches are expected to increase segmental growth.
Various research studies provide insight into the prevalence of obesity. For instance, an article published in the Journal of Pediatric Nursing in February 2021 indicated that the disease of childhood obesity has risen to high levels in United States youth with the fastest rise seen in severe obesity. The article also showed that obesity is a risk factor for increased severity of hypertension. Since obesity increases the risk of cardiac diseases and hypertension, so frequent monitoring is needed which may contribute to increasing demand for monitoring devices and so do the blood pressure cuffs.
Another article presented in the Journal of Epidemiology and Population Health in February 2021 indicated that China is during a severely alarming increase in obesity, particularly abdominal obesity. The rise in obesity rates in the country is expected to propel the growth of the automatic blood pressure cuffs segment over the forecast period as it increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases which requires constant monitoring.
Furthermore, various research studies have provided insight into the advantages of automated blood pressure cuff devices. For instance, in May 2022, an article published in Springer Nature Limited stated that most automated blood pressure monitoring devices analyze the pressure waveform signals during the period of cuff deflation, although some devices analyze signals during the inflation period. As per the same source, even though the devices have been using the same methods to analyze blood pressure, the technology has vastly improved in new devices which have minimized the errors and made the device accurate. Thus, such advantages in the accuracy of the devices in the segment are expected to grow over the forecast period.
Thus, owing to the factors such as advancement in the technology and increasing need for blood pressure monitoring is expected to drive the segment growth over the forecast period.
