Point of Care Blood Gas and Electrolyte Market Information, By Product Type (Consumables and Instruments), End Users (Hospitals & Clinics, and Research Institute) - Forecast till 2027

Point of Care Blood Gas and Electrolyte Market Scenario:

Point of care blood gas and electrolyte analyzers helps to measure different parameters of whole blood samples, such as blood gas (pCO2 and pO2), pH, and electrolytes. It is one of the innovative concepts that is introduced in the field of critical care settings to deliver decentralized, patient-centric health care to the patients. These devices are playing an important role in the field of healthcare and help in reducing therapeutic turnaround time, enhance patient satisfaction, accuracy, and quick test, and help to improve hospital operations. This new technology provides smaller handheld devices with advancements in diagnostic sensors.

Point of care blood gas and electrolyte devices are used majorly in the area of hospitals where patients are being ventilated. Increase in the treatments in NICUs, ICUs, Cardiovascular Operating Room (CVOR), and emergency department has boosted the point of care blood gas and electrolyte devices market growth. Additionally, rising prevalence of chronic diseases and cancer fuels the point of care blood gas and electrolyte market growth.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2015, the number of adults with diagnosed chronic bronchitis and emphysema were 9.3 million and 3.5 million respectively. Additionally, according to WHO in 2016, over 1.9 billion adults aged 18 years and older were obese, which was approximately 650 million. Overall 13% of world’s adult population (11% of men and 15% of women) were obese. These diseases are the main cause of the immense growth of treatment in NICUs, ICUs, Cardiovascular Operating Room (CVOR), and emergency department. Point of care blood gas developers is now focusing on developing automated and user-friendly devices, which may lead the market of this product in the coming future. Healthcare expenditure across the world is rapidly increasing. From the last decade, healthcare expenditure in regions like the Americas and Europe has been growing rapidly. According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, in 2015, the U.S. healthcare spending was increased by 5.8% and reached USD 3.2 trillion.

The point of care blood gas and electrolyte market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.8% during the forecast period and is estimated to cross USD 2,543.1 million by 2023.
