Based on device types, the global wearable medical device market is bifurcated into diagnostic devices [electrocardiographs fetal and obstetric devices, vital sign monitoring devices, neuromonitoring devices, and sleep monitoring devices] and therapeutic devices [rehabilitation devices, respiratory therapy devices, pain management devices, and others].
The respiratory therapy devices by therapeutics segment are expected to hold a key share of the market in the coming years due to the unknown risk of cardiac attack associated with adopting a sedentary life, there is a demand for cardiovascular health management systems.
Along with rising chronic diseases, advancements in cardiac disease diagnostics and care have created enormous potential opportunities.
Wearable technology is also being used by healthcare providers to remotely monitor patients' cardiovascular health and provide on-time therapy with advanced identification of problems. Furthermore, the introduction of innovative equipment such as patches and wearable defibrillators, among others, allows for continuous heart rate and critical care monitoring.
On the basis of product types, the market is divided into wristbands, ear wears, watches, and others. The watches segment is expected to constitute a key share of the market during the forecast period owing to personal health data can be accessed on smartphones via Bluetooth technology with wristbands and smartwatches. Increased adoption of linked technological devices, such as smartwatches with fitness trackers, can propel the business forward.
In terms of applications, the global wearable medical device market is segregated into diabetes care, cardiac health, fitness monitoring, obesity control, sleep tracking. The fitness monitoring segment is expected to hold a key share of the market in the coming years due to customers can use activity trackers to track their fitness over time.
They aid in the management of healthy lifestyles by assisting in the monitoring of everyday activities such as sleeping, exercising, and water drinking, among others. Product demand can be boosted by a rising emphasis on local fitness and health, as well as a changing lifestyle.
Based on end-users, the market is segmented into remote patient monitoring, sports and fitness, and home healthcare. The remote patient monitoring segment is expected to represent a key share of the market during the forecast period owing to remote patient monitoring is the procedure by which patients can utilize a mobile medical device to perform a routine test and report the results to healthcare providers in real-time (RPM).
Remote patient monitoring, which measures crucial risk factors including blood pressure and sugar, can help in the improvement of chronic illnesses. RPM has various benefits for hospitals and end consumers, including shorter hospital stays, lower healthcare costs, and fewer medical appointments. This can also assist to reduce the price associated with chronic disease treatment.
On the basis of distribution channels, the market is divided into online distribution, retail pharmacies, hypermarkets, and others. The online distribution segment is expected to constitute a key share of the market in the coming years due to the market's dominance can be linked to rising public demand for self-monitoring and non-invasive tracking and diagnostic equipment, as well as market players' strong focus on retail channels in emerging nations.
