Market overview

The global Connected Medical Devices market is expected to show significant growth during the forecast period (2018–2023).

Market highlights

Increased prevalence of chronic diseases and related risk factors, the need for cost-effective and efficient patient management services, increased understanding, and increased healthcare IT acceptance to drive market growth. In addition, advancements in technology, investment on research and development and the rapid acceptance of connected medical devices by the regulatory authorities are leading to market growth. Over the past few years, the healthcare industry has undergone a significant transition, supported by the revolutionary nature of IoT technologies and advancements in computing power, wireless technologies, and data processing tools, such as Big Data, which is currently implemented in medical facilities and the medical research field to examine a large number of complex heterogeneous microscopes. In addition, core manufacturers such as Fitbit in the consumer wearables industry rely on maintaining an online presence as it decreases the expense of shipping, configuration, and service. Because of these incentives, the online marketplace is quickly infiltrated by manufacturers, which further encourages business growth.

The high cost of products from Connected Medical Devices Technology, security issues and risks associated with data privacy and the low likelihood of acceptance of connected medical devices in products from underdeveloped countries which impede market growth during the evaluation period.
