Disposable Blood Pressure Cuffs Market: Introduction
- A blood pressure cuff is commonly used in combination with blood pressure monitor during blood pressure measurement procedures. The cuff is strapped and inflated around the arm of a patient. Demand for BP monitors is considerably high due to an increase in consumer base. Surge in global geriatric population is projected to drive the global disposable blood pressure cuffs market. According to the United Nations 2017 report, the global geriatric population aged 60 years or above stood at 962 million. Additionally, the report stated that the geriatric population is expected to outnumber the number of children aged under 10 by 2030. Rapid rise in the geriatric population is likely to increase the consumer base, which is projected to drive the incidence rates of hypertension. This in turn boosts demand for BP cuffs.
Disposable Blood Pressure Cuffs Market: Key Trends
- The global disposable blood pressure cuffs market is projected to grow at a rapid pace in the near future. Increase in contamination in hospitals, which leads to hospital-acquired infection (HAI), is a key factor that propels the global disposable blood pressure cuffs market. According to a recent study published by a leading manufacturer of disposable cuffs, SunTech Medical Inc., only around 2 million people had HAI in the U.S. in 2016. The number is expected to rise at a rapid pace in the near future.
- A major disadvantage of reusable blood pressure cuffs is that these are likely to increase the incidence of hospital-acquired infections due to cross contamination. Therefore, several hospitals and clinics are opt for disposable blood pressure cuffs. Additionally, surge in the obese population and changes in lifestyle increase the risk of blood pressure and cardiovascular related diseases. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 2015 report, in the U.S., about 7 in 10 adult people with high blood pressure use medication to treat the condition. Nearly, 50% of people who have high blood pressure have their medical condition under control.
- High blood pressure is a major risk factor for cardio and kidney-related diseases. Thousands of people succumb to this medical condition globally every year. Moreover, advancements in manufacturing of disposable blood pressure cuffs, such as availability of products in different colors and sizes for accurate reading, are expected to boost the growth of the global disposable blood pressure cuffs market. Manufacturers focus on the development of easy-to-use, innovative, and cost-effective products. However, different regulatory policies of countries and introduction of pulse blood pressure monitors, which are alternatives to blood pressure cuffs, are likely to hamper the growth of the global disposable blood pressure cuffs market.
- Presently, the world is struggling with COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 leads to pneumonia, severe & acute respiratory disorders, multiple organ failure, and, in severe cases, death. The geriatric population is more prone to COVID-19. The global disposable blood pressure cuffs market grew at a sluggish pace during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Governments of developing countries are making significant investments to modernize health care infrastructure in their respective countries, which is likely to increase access to health care. This is expected to propel demand for disposable blood pressure cuffs. Rise in prevalence of chronic diseases, heart, respiratory & lung diseases in developing countries presents lucrative opportunities in the global disposable blood pressure cuffs market.
North America to Capture Major Share of Global Disposable Blood Pressure Cuffs Market
- North America dominated the global market in 2020 due to technological advancements in medical devices, sophisticated lifestyles, high patient awareness, and high per capita health care expenditure. Early-phase diagnosis and treatment of diseases drives the medical biotechnology and medical devices market, which in turn is expected to propel the disposable blood pressure cuffs market in North America.
- Europe was the second largest market for disposable blood pressure cuffs in 2020 due to favorable government policies for health care infrastructure and high incidence of blood pressure
- The market in Asia Pacific is likely to expand at a higher CAGR due to increase in population, changing lifestyles, rise in awareness among patients, surge in per capita expenditure, rise in air pollution, and environmental conditions. Additionally, economic growth supports health care infrastructure improvement in developing countries such as India, China, South Africa, and Brazil. These factors fuel the growth of the disposable blood pressure cuffs market in Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and Latin America.
