Industry Insights
The Global Pulse Oximeters Market size was worth USD 1.5 billion in 2015 which is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of more than 6.1% during the forecast period. The crucial application of the pulse oximeters in patient monitoring is responsible for its growth. Moreover, its use in anesthesia monitoring and safety have greatly reduced anesthesia-related deaths, which further contributes to the market potential. Surgical safety has been a major concern and so its provision is a priority worldwide. Global initiatives such as the WHO Surgical Safety Checklist, which was created in 2008 as an outcome of 2007 WHO Safe Surgery Saves Lives program, aims in the application of minimum safety standards across hospitals in all countries.

Type Insights
The segmentation based on the type of devices is handheld, fingertip, and others. In 2016, the handheld oximeter devices dominated the market owing to the ease of use of the device in the case of emergency. The oxygen saturation of a patient highly affects the course of treatment to be undertaken. Rising number of emergency cases of strokes and surgeries is anticipated to augment the market over the forecast period. With the growing preference towards portable technology due to its feasibility in use, fingertip pulse oximeter segment is gaining prominence in the paediatric treatment procedures and so are expected to show significant market growth over the forecasted period.

The fingertip pulse oximeters can withstand varying storage conditions and thus is preferred. Other types of oximeters include stand-alone units that have provisions to monitor parameters such as blood pressure and ECG. Lack of sufficient operative room facilities in most of the developing countries, as per the findings of WHO, initiatives are taken to increase the operative room facilities where each room is equipped with at least one stand-alone monitoring units that would help in increasing the penetration of the devices.

The conventional use of pulse oximeters is done in hospitals pre and post surgeries. It is also used during surgeries when the patient is anesthetized. The rising number of surgeries and emphasis on patient safety are responsible for the increased use of pulse oximeters during every procedure. These devices are once purchased and require servicing and are not replaced frequently. The use of pulse oximeters in new-born screening also adds to the number of devices procured by the hospitals in their maternity and paediatric care divisions. However, there is an upward trend of use of pulse oximeters in homecare settings due to the expansion of the homecare market. Hospices and even nursing care centers are procuring oximeters to provide better care to their customers.
