Europe Wearable Medical Devices Market

Europe Wearable Medical Devices Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The wearable medical devices market size in Europe is estimated to be worth USD 8398 million by 2029 and USD 3549 million in 2024, growing at a CAGR of 18.8% during the forecast period.

The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and blood pressure among the European population is fuelling the demand for wearable medical devices and contributing to the growth of the European market. Changes in lifestyle, improper diet, consumption of alcohol, smoking, and low workout are the primary reasons for the incidence of chronic diseases among the population. Wearable medical devices are a type of healthcare monitoring device that is worn on the body to monitor healthcare data. Some examples of wearable healthcare devices are pulse monitoring, sleep-related devices and others.

The growing geriatric population and rapid adoption of remote patient monitoring devices across Europe are supporting the growth of the wearable medical devices market in Europe. The growing patient population of diabetes among the elderly results in the increasing adoption of continuous glucose monitoring devices. It checks the blood glucose levels at regular intervals of time and sends the data to the smart devices that are connected to it. The stored data can be sent to the healthcare provider for a better treatment process. Increasing the use of remote patient monitoring devices such as blood pressure monitoring devices, blood glucose monitoring devices, and temperature monitoring devices at home by the population supports the regional market growth.

Technological advancements in wearable medical devices fuel the growth rate of the European market. In recent years, wearable technology has gained more popularity compared to previous years. Advanced technologies such as biosensor technologies are used in wearable technologies, which help in increasing the device performance and accuracy and developing small batteries. They also focus on different designs, such as bracelets and leather materials, to design wearable medical devices that attract more people. Increasing public and private organizations' support, increasing investment in research and development, and increasing availability of devices through offline and online e-commerce sites further contribute to the European market growth.

The high cost of wearable medical devices primarily hampers the European market growth. Lack of skilled professionals, lack of awareness, long wait time for approval of the devices, increasing brand competition and complex interfaces of wearable medical devices hinder the regional market growth. Increasing concerns over data privacy and security are likely to pose challenges for the key players in the European wearable medical devices market.
