Wearable Medical Devices Market Overview
The Wearable
Medical Devices Market is anticipated to experience strong double-digit
growth by 2028. Key growth drivers include the rising prevalence of chronic
diseases, growing focus on fitness and home healthcare, and increased adoption
of wearable devices post-Covid-19. Technological advancements, such as the
integration of artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and
advanced sensors, are transforming wearable devices into more accurate,
personalized, and predictive health tools. These innovations are enabling
real-time data analysis and preventive healthcare, empowering consumers to take
proactive control of their wellness.
Understanding Wearable Medical Devices
Wearables are intelligent electronic devices
designed to monitor and improve personal health. Integrating hardware,
software, and mobile apps, they collect and analyze health data, transmitting
it to the cloud for advanced analytics. Common wearable medical devices
include:
Smartwatches: Modern smartwatches have evolved to measure various health
metrics such as steps, calories, oxygen levels, and EKG reports.
Advanced Care & Alert Portable Telemedical Monitor (AMON): Used in clinical
settings to measure vital signs like pulse and oxygen levels.
Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM): A major innovation for diabetes
management, CGMs use sensors to automatically track glucose levels throughout
the day.
Impact of COVID-19 on Market Growth
The Covid-19 pandemic significantly boosted
wearable device adoption, as self-monitoring became crucial for managing
symptoms. Diagnostic device manufacturers reported strong revenue gains—Garmin
Ltd., for instance, recorded an 11.4% revenue increase in 2020, with fitness
segment growth of 25.8%. Companies like Xiaomi launched devices such as Mi
Smart Band 6 with SpO2 measurement to monitor Covid-related symptoms. Even as
Covid-19 cases declined, the demand for health-monitoring devices remained high
due to increased awareness about infection prevention and early diagnosis.
Fitness trackers and smartwatches with health sensors continue to witness
strong demand globally.
Expert Insight
"Rising demand for wearable medical devices post
Covid-19 is driven by increased awareness for fitness & healthy lifestyle,
early diagnosis of diseases, and growing adoption of artificial intelligence.
Industry challenges include regulatory approvals, device reliability, safety,
and seamless battery integration."
– Vice President, Technology and Customer Solutions, Leading Manufacturer
Growing Demand Amid Chronic Diseases
The rising burden of chronic illnesses such as
diabetes and cardiovascular diseases is a major factor driving the wearable
medical devices market. Sedentary lifestyles and unhealthy habits have
increased mortality rates and disease risks. According to WHO, cardiovascular
diseases account for 32% of global deaths (17.9 million annually). In Europe
alone, over 3.9 million people die from CVDs each year. These trends underscore
the growing need for wearable technologies that can continuously monitor
parameters such as blood pressure and glucose levels, promoting early diagnosis
and preventive healthcare. Additionally, the aging population and rising
healthcare costs are accelerating the shift toward remote patient monitoring
and telemedicine, further enhancing market potential.
Competitive Landscape
Key players in the market include Xiaomi Technology
Co., Fitbit Inc., Philips Electronics (acquired Biotelemetry, Inc.), Garmin
Corporation, Apple Inc., Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd., Polar Electro, OMRON
Corporation, Sotera Wireless, and Intelesens Ltd.
