Posted on 2024-10-29 by Future Market Insights in Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals // 0 Comments

Pressure Ulcer Detection Devices Market

The global pressure ulcer detection devices market was valued at US$ 1.45 billion in 2022, with projections indicating robust growth at a CAGR of 4.9% over the forecast period. This growth trajectory reflects the increasing emphasis on patient safety and the proactive management of pressure ulcers within healthcare settings.

According to a recent study by Future Market Insights (FMI), the market is being driven by technological advancements and a growing awareness of the importance of early detection in preventing pressure ulcers. Notably, in-shoe sensors are leading the market, accounting for approximately 34.5% of the total market share in 2022. These devices offer innovative solutions for monitoring pressure levels and enhancing patient care.

As the aging population and the prevalence of chronic illnesses continue to rise, the demand for effective pressure ulcer detection devices is expected to grow. Healthcare providers are increasingly investing in advanced technologies that facilitate timely intervention and improve patient outcomes.

Key players in the pressure ulcer detection devices market are focusing on research and development to enhance product offerings, emphasizing user-friendly designs and improved accuracy. The commitment to innovation will play a vital role in shaping the market landscape in the coming years.

The pressure ulcer detection devices market includes devices and equipment used to detect and monitor pressure ulcers in patients. Pressure ulcers, sometimes referred to as pressure sores and bedsores, are lesions produced by continuous pressure caused on the skin and underlying tissue. Pressure ulcers are considered treatable if identified early, and hence pressure ulcer devices may help diagnose the problem early. The ageing population and chronic bedridden patients are more prone to have mobility issues as well as skin surface that is more readily damaged due to dehydration and other factors.

What are the Key Market Drivers for the Manufacturers Operating in the Global Market?

The market is anticipated to expand due to the high prevalence of urinary incontinence and the risk of pressure ulcers in the geriatric population. Incontinent patients are more likely to develop pressure ulcers because the body’s natural defences are eroded when urine or faeces are held against the skin. This is because the damp, acidic nature of the wastes weakens the skin and makes it more prone to cracking and peeling.

As a result, the increased prevalence of urine incontinence is fuelling the development of pressure ulcer disorders, which is boosting the market for pressure ulcer detection devices.

According to a study published in the International Journal of Gynaecology and Obstetrics in 2021 titled “Incidence and risk factors of female urine incontinence”, the incidence of female UI is 21.2 per 1000 person-years.

The market for pressure ulcer devices is expanding due to several factors. one of the primary factors driving demand for these devices is the rising occurrence of pressure ulcers, Despite advances in prevention and treatment, pressure ulcers remain a significant problem in healthcare settings. The increasing prevalence of pressure ulcers is driving the demand for innovative products that can improve patient outcomes. Second, the market is expanding as more people become aware of pressure ulcers and their serious effects on patient health and quality of life. Additionally, the demand for better and more efficient pressure ulcer devices is being fuelled by technological and product innovation, which is also boosting market expansion. Other factors that contribute to the growth of this market include rising healthcare costs and expanding demand for healthcare services.

For instance, about one in ten elderly people with limited mobility acquired bedsores in 2020, according to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This element will aid in the expansion of the market.

Competitive Landscape

Manufacturers in the market are involved in key activities like product launches and market expansion. The key players are applying for product approvals and developing products which address the needs of healthcare professionals.

In September 2020, Arjo invested in Bruin Biometrics (BBI), a company with headquarters in the US that makes equipment for biometric diagnoses. With this arrangement, Arjo gets an rights of exclusive distribution of portable SEM scanner (by BBI). This scanner allows for early detection of pressure ulcer risk and, as a result, reduces patient suffering and healthcare costs.
