The remote patient monitoring devices market is estimated to be valued at US$ 1,192.5 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 7.4% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market Overview:
Remote patient monitoring devices are used to monitor patients outside of conventional clinical settings such as hospitals, clinics or labs. These devices measure vital parameters of patients such as heart rate, blood pressure, blood sugar levels etc. and transfer the data to healthcare providers through wireless technologies. This helps providers in early detection of any emergencies and take preventive actions. Devices include blood pressure monitors, glucose meters, weight scales, pulse oximeters etc.

Market Dynamics:
The remote patient monitoring devices market is witnessing high growth due to rising geriatric population globally. As per World Population Ageing report published by United Nations, the number of people aged 65 years or over is projected to grow to 1.5 billion in 2050 from 703 million in 2019. With increasing age comes increased risk of developing chronic conditions. Additionally, growing prevalence of chronic and lifestyle diseases such as cardiovascular disorders, diabetes, respiratory diseases is also propelling the market growth. According to WHO, cardiovascular diseases account for over 17 million deaths annually, representing 31% of all global deaths. It is estimated that the number of deaths from cardiovascular diseases will increase to more than 23 million by 2030. The remote monitoring devices enable close monitoring of patients with chronic conditions at home, reducing need for frequent hospital visits. This improves quality of healthcare and reduces healthcare costs significantly.

SWOT Analysis
