Global Blood Flow Measurement Devices Market Size

Blood Flow Measurement Devices Market Analysis

The blood flow measurement devices market is projected to register a CAGR of 9.2% during the forecast period (2022 - 2027).

The healthcare system has witnessed enormous challenges because of the COVID-19 pandemic. All outpatient treatments were postponed or restricted during the COVID-19 pandemic to reduce the risk of viral transmission as most chronic therapies were regarded as non-urgent. An article titled 'An emergency system for monitoring pulse oximetry, peak expiratory flow, and body temperature of patients with COVID-19 at home: Development and preliminary application' published in the journal PLOS One in March 2021 discussed the development and evaluation of an emergency system for monitoring patients with COVID-19, which may be useful in hospitals. Such developments in the time of the COVID-19 pandemic are expected to propel the growth of the blood flow measurement devices market in the forecast period.

Major chronic diseases including cardiovascular diseases are on the rise all over the world, which is adding to the growth of the blood flow measurement devices market. With increasing risks, there are also effective diagnostics that lead to the treatment and monitoring of patients. The rise in the number of cardiovascular disease cases plays an important role in healthcare. In addition, the growing number of factors attributing to the rise in cardiac diseases is increasing the market share for the blood flow measurement devices segment. For instance, according to the research study published in December 2021, titled 'Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and its associated risk factors among older adults in India: Evidence from LASI Wave 1', for older persons in India who were 45 years of age and above, the overall self-reported prevalence of diagnosed CVDs was 29.4%. also, as per the same source, age was linked to a higher risk of CVD and female older individuals had a higher CVD prevalence than male older adults. Hence, the high burden of cardiovascular diseases is expected to play a major role in the studied market.

Several research and development studies focusing on innovative blood flow measurement devices are also adding to the growth of the blood flow device measurement market. For instance, in September 2020, the Government of India Ministry of Science & Technology's article discussed a new cost-effective blood flow meter device by a team of researchers at the Sree ChitraTirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology. The researchers indicated that the palm-sized device measures the flow rate of blood using a novel magnetic method and a signal conditioning technique and is compliant with national and international standards and guidelines and is manufactured using components sourced from established supply chains within the country. Such novel research in the design and manufacturing of blood flow measurement devices is expected to boost the growth of the studied market in the forecast period. However, the high cost of the blood flow measurement and limited reimbursement scenario are expected to hamper the market growth over the forecast period.
