The global pulse oximeters market size valued at USD 1,587.3 Million in 2017 and is projected to reach USD 2,657.6 Million by 2025, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.7% in the forecast period (2018-2025).

A pulse oximeter is an electronic device which is widely used to monitor the amount of oxygen in the blood as well as to track the pulse rate. Certain conditions such as suffocation, choking, drowning, heart failures, sleep apnea, and allergic reaction are prominently responsible for hypoxemia, lowering of oxygen percentage in the blood. Moreover, undiagnosed or untreated hypoxemia may lead to shortness of breath, dizziness, rapid breathing, lack of coordination, and visual disorders. These products provide benefits such as offering valuable insights about oxygen saturation percentage, monitoring and alerting for lower oxygen levels in anesthesia condition, and observation of breathing activity of neonates under certain drugs. Increasing prevalence of heart conditions such as heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and others is expected to boost the pulse oximeters market growth by 2025.

"Higher accuracy and precision of fingertip devices to fuel the global market growth"

Fingertip pulse oximeter is a type of oximeter in which the device is simply clipped to the fingers, and it measures the level of oxygen in the blood with the help of wavelength. Factors such as effective ergonomics, better precision, and minimal cost are expected to drive the growth of fingertip devices adoption by 2025. In January 2019, Masimo got FDA approval for its MightSat Rx finger pulse oximeter. The newly developed fingertip variant is capable of measuring oxygen saturation percentage, pulse rate, perfusion rate, and respiration rate of the patient. In 2017, tabletop oximeter held a significant share in the pulse oximeters market size. Since the benefits offered by fingertip types are high, it is projected to be the fastest-growing among product type segment during the forecast period. Tabletop oximeters held an estimated 42.2% share in the global market in 2017.

Market Segmentation

Based on product type, the pulse oximeters market segments include fingertip oximeters, handheld oximeters, tabletop oximeters, and others. Based on end users, the market segments include hospitals, clinics & ambulatory surgery centers, home healthcare, and others. The hospitals in end user segment are expected to register comparatively higher share in the global market owing to the higher adoption and higher utilization of these devices in hospitals.
