Electronic Handheld Blood Pressure Devices Market to Reach 793 Million...

Electronic handheld blood pressure devices are automated blood pressure measuring devices used for measuring blood pressure at regular intervals, without causing inconvenience to the individual's daily routine. Rising healthcare expenditure and rapidly aging population are key factors contributing towards a rise in demand for such devices, particularly in the developed regions of the world. With growing environmental concerns related to the use of mercury-based traditional sphygmomanometers, developed nations have stepped up efforts to replace mercury devices with electronic blood pressure devices.

Rising proportion of overweight population and the growing numbers of elderly people enhance the risk associated with hypertension. The ability to monitor blood pressure levels at home allows patients to effectively manage hypertension. Consequently, the demand for digital blood pressure monitors for home environment is growing rapidly. In addition, advent of devices based on sophisticated technologies has contributed to the augmented demand for such devices globally. However, the inability of electronic blood pressure devices to produce consistent results across a wide range of conditions, ages and blood pressures is a major hindrance to the devices' widespread adoption among the medical community.
