One of the key factors expected to propel the growth of the global portable medical devices market over the forecast period is the rise in burden of chronic diseases worldwide. For instance, with the increase in prevalence of chronic disease, such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes, the demand for portable medical devices is also increasing.
In June 2024, AliveCor received FDA clearance and launched its Kardia 12L — the world’s first AI-powered, handheld 12‑lead ECG device packaged in a pocket-sized design. Weighing just 0.3 lb and using a single cable, it delivers medical-grade cardiac analytics—including 35 conditions ranging from arrhythmias to heart attacks—within minutes, enabling early detection and proactive management of chronic heart disease.
Another major factor which is driving the growth of the global portable medical devices market is the rise in preference for home healthcare owing to growing geriatric population.
Rise in adoption of portable medical devices due to rise in awareness among people regarding the benefits of portable devices is expected to offer significant growth opportunities for players in the global portable medical devices market. For instance, with the rise in technological advancements in portable devices (such as the incorporation of new technology in the device to enhance its utility, ease of access, accuracy, and workflow), the adoption of the portable devices is also increasing.
Portable devices have made it possible to improve diagnostics at primary healthcare level, provide care at home, and resulted in improved health outcomes and patient satisfaction. Rising awareness among the population regarding the benefits of portable medical devices and the proliferation of smart/advanced technologies in portable devices is contributing to the adoption of portable medical devices in hospital and healthcare settings worldwide. This trend is expected to continue over the forecast period, driving the growth of the market.
Diagnostic imaging equipment covers a wide array of medical devices used for diagnostic purposes such as X-ray, MRI, and ultrasound, among others, and these devices have a range of applications in a variety of medical fields, such as oncology, orthopedic, gynecological, and more. Thus, with the increase in burden of chronic diseases (as these devices are used to diagnose chronic diseases) and technological advancements in diagnostic imaging devices, the adoption of portable diagnostic imaging equipment or devices is also increasing. This trend is also expected to continue during the forecast period, driving the growth of the market.
*Definition Portable medical devices are electronic equipment used for monitoring, operating, and managing a wide variety of medical conditions. Portable devices have revolutionized the way in which people monitor and determine their own health and wellbeing.
