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. 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.
