The rising chronic disease prevalence around the world is expected to drive up the need for disposable medical sensors, according to Front. Public Health in 2020, NCDs (chronic non-communicable diseases) accounted for approximately 80% of deaths in China among adults aged 60, with the most common being ischemic heart disease, stroke, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), and Type 2 diabetes.
Every year, the cost of health care rises. Factors contributing to this include increased demand for diagnostic devices, additional taxes on devices in certain regions, and increased regulations, all of which have an impact on the overall cost of production. The devices likely facilitate real-time monitoring of COVID-19 patients, allowing healthcare providers to track vital signs, respiratory parameters, and other relevant health metrics. It incorporates data analytics capabilities to analyze large sets of patient data, aiding in the identification of patterns, trends, and potential indicators of disease progression.
- For instance, in April 2020, GE Healthcare unveiled a new software solution to assist physicians and healthcare organizations in the care of COVID-19 patients.
The company will bring its Virtual Care Mural Solution to the highly reputable and secure Microsoft Azure cloud platform, with the goal of providing hospitals with a thorough understanding of their ventilated patient population and assisting in the identification of patients in danger of deterioration. It is the most recent development in Microsoft and GE Healthcare's ongoing collaboration.
Furthermore, the small disposable sensor is a wearable patch for five days that can be connected to a scalable hub to survey multiple patients in different rooms. According to a study on coronavirus transmission in skilled nursing facilities, the asymptomatic rate of transmission was 56%, with 90% developing symptoms later. The symptom-based screening method may miss more than half of the people infected with a coronavirus. These obstacles can be overcome by the continuous data monitoring provided by disposable medical sensors.
The FDA granted Emergency Use Authorizations (EUAs) for a number of wearable and patient monitoring devices to improve patient monitoring and treatment options, as well as to reduce healthcare workers' exposure to SARS-CoV-2 during the pandemic. Wearable technology to help patients infected with the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is expected to drive the disposable medical sensors market.

Industry Dynamics
Growth Drivers
- The Rise of Portable and Home-Based Healthcare Solutions
The trend toward delivery and portability of care at the patient's home or bedside is driving the development of next-generation diagnostic, therapeutic, display, and monitoring equipment that is more accurate, adaptable, and small. These platforms take a consumer-centric approach to healthcare, incorporating technological advancements such as electronic patient records, wireless internet-connected systems, and personalized wearables, all of which are expected to provide intelligent, convenient, and at-home healthcare.
The rapidly aging population, which is chronically ill and disabled, is the primary driver of the trend of portable, disposable medical sensor devices at home. As a result, manufacturers are likely to develop medical devices that patients can carry unobtrusively, even in public places. For example, Bio IntelliSense and Philips formed a strategic partnership in July 2020 to improve remote patient monitoring for at-risk patients. This made it easier for doctors to monitor patients who are being treated at home in hospitals, which resulted in demand for these sensors.

By Product Analysis
- The Biosensors segment accounted for the largest market share in 2023,
In 2023, the biosensors segment accounted for the largest disposable medical sensors market share. Biosensors, a type of sensor designed to detect analytes, utilize physiochemical detectors to collect biological components. These sensors detect and measure signals emitted by the analyte, and their connection to electronics allows the received signals to be displayed on the device. The market features a variety of biosensors, including electronic, amperometric, blood glucose, potentiometric, immune, conductometric, thermometric, fiber optic lactate, optical, and piezoelectric biosensors. Employed in both patient monitoring and diagnostics, biosensors are witnessing increased demand due to the growing need for rapid and accurate diagnostic kits. Ongoing innovations in the field are further fueling the demand for quicker diagnostic capabilities.
Furthermore, the image sensors segment is anticipated to exhibit a significant market share. Image sensors play a crucial role by converting light waves into signals to generate images, finding applications across a broad spectrum, particularly in the diagnostic sector. Medical imaging devices, such as endoscopy, and electronic imaging devices, like cameras, extensively utilize image sensors. Two common types of image sensors are charge-coupled devices (CCD) and complementary metal oxide semiconductors (CMOS). CMOS cameras are widely used in various medical applications, including minimally invasive surgery, X-ray imaging, endoscopy, and ocular surgery. Technological advancements and the increasing demand for higher resolution are expected to drive the growth of the image sensors market over the forecast period.
By Type Analysis
- The ingestible sensors segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR during the forecast period.
The ingestible sensors segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. Market growth is anticipated to be driven by increasing investments in Research and Development (R&D) and collaborative efforts among companies. In July 2021, Medtronic plc reported that the FDA had granted clearance for the use of two LINQ II insertable cardiac monitors featuring the AI AccuRhythm algorithms.
In the realm of medical technology, ingestible sensors play a pivotal role. These small chips, ingested in the form of capsules, detect any abnormalities in the body and transmit the data to an external device. Primarily, it is used in controlled drug delivery, endoscopy, and patient monitoring; ingestible sensors are gaining significance due to the rising prevalence of chronic diseases and the increasing demand for non-invasive diagnostic testing. Moreover, the results obtained through the use of ingestible sensors are noted for their enhanced accuracy, contributing to further market expansion.
Regional Analysis
