Medical Electrodes Market is Estimated To Witness High Growth Owing To Surging Demand for Disease Monitoring

Market Overview:

Medical electrodes are used for monitoring physiological signals such as EEG, ECG, EMG, and other bio-potential signals from the human body. They help in disease diagnosis by detecting and transmitting tiny electric signals from the body to monitoring devices. Medical electrodes are available in various forms including surface electrodes, needle electrodes, and deep electrodes. They have provisions of easy application, stability, and accuracy in signal measurement.

Market key trends:

Growing prevalence of cardiovascular and neurological diseases is a major factor driving the growth of medical electrodes market. According to WHO, cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death globally, taking an estimated 17.9 million lives each year. Similarly, neurological disorders affect over a billion people worldwide as per the Brain Health Report published by World Federation of Neurology. As medical electrodes have widespread usage in diagnosis and monitoring of heart and brain conditions, increasing incidence of such diseases is expected to propel market growth over the forecast period. In addition, constant technological advancements in electrode designing for better biocompatibility and accuracy are further aiding the medical electrodes market expansion.

Additionally, technological advancements in medical electrodes leading to improved designs suitable for long term and ambulatory monitoring will further aid the market growth over the forecast period. However, availability of alternatives such as wireless monitoring systems and stringent regulatory approvals are expected to hinder the market growth.
