Patient Monitoring Systems forecasts for 2012 & 2017

Demand to grow nearly 6% per year through 2011. US demand for patient monitoring systems is forecast to rise 5.9 percent yearly to $12 billion in 2012. Advances in wireless and sensor technologies will bolster growth by leading to the introduction of new equipment and accessories with enhanced performance capabilities. Patient monitoring procedures will rise throughout the primary health care sector based on contributions to improved therapeutic outcomes and efficiencies. The market for selfmonitoringactivities will also expand  as chronic care patients, especially persons with asthma, diabetes and heart disorders, focus greater attention on preventive care.

Blood glucose test supplies to remain top accessory

Blood glucose testing supplies will continue to dominate sales for patient monitoring accessories based on upward trends in the prevalence of diabetes and enhanced efforts by the health care sector to reduce the number of undiagnosed cases. The expansion of diabetes education programs will encourage diabetic patients to follow established guidelines for self-testing and periodic professional examinations, resulting in double-digit gains through 2012. The best opportunities will emerge in electrochemical blood glucose test strips, which require less blood and yield faster and more accurate results than older photometer reflectance test strips. The expansion of ECG and other vital signs monitoring activities in hospitals and outpatient centers, coupled with the development of advanced generation products based on microchips, will boost sales of  patient monitoring catheters, electrodes and sensors.

Remote, home use monitor devices hold best prospects

Based on contributions to health care quality, productivity and cost efficiency, wireless multi-parameter network monitors will remain the top-selling patient monitoring equipment product. Among newer product introductions, transtelephonic remote monitors will see the fastest growth in demand as they hold promising potential to save health care costs by reducing the need for hospitalizations and outpatient  episodes. Blood pressure monitors will provide mixed growth prospects. Devices for home use will post strong gains in demand as consumers assume more personal responsibility for their own health care. By contrast, cost containment pressures and relatively saturated markets will keep sales of professional blood pressure testing devices growing slowly at best.

Multi-parameter systems to increase market share

Demand for cardiac, respirator and anesthesia monitors will expand at a  below average pace due to competition from multi-parameter systems. Among these products, heart rate and peak flow meters will post the best sales gains driven by expanding use among home patients and consumers. The availability of alternative diagnostic technologies will moderate growth opportunities for fetal monitors. Blood glucose monitors and electronic thermometers will also generate relatively lackluster growth opportunities due to pricing pressures.
