India Patient Monitoring Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2021 - 2026)

Market Overview

The Indian patient monitoring market is expected to register a CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period. The key factors propelling the growth of the market are the rising incidences of chronic diseases due to lifestyle changes, growing preference for home and remote monitoring, and ease of use and portability devices to promote growth.

India is among the top three countries with high incidence of diabetes. The diabetic population in the country increased from 11.9 million in 1980 to around 69.1 million in 2015. The prevalence of diabetes in men has more than doubled in the country, from 3.7% to 9.1% from 1980-2015. Moreover, according to the Global Burden of Disease Study and Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), the incidence of diabetes in India was 263.59 (per 100,000 population) in 2017.

Indians are four times more likely to develop diabetes than other regions, such as Europe, because Indian diets are rich in saturated fats and carbohydrates, which add more extra calories and sugar than required by the body. Additionally, sedentary lifestyles and obesity are the other factors responsible for the high prevalence of diabetes. Therefore, the high prevalence of chronic diseases in India is expected to augment the growth of the patient monitoring market.

Owing to the rapid evolution of the market in the use of medical technology, medical device companies that are able to launch new innovative equipment will be rewarded with huge benefits.
