MARKET DRIVERS

Improving connectivity for new-generation devices, modern cosmetic surgery, and increasing the prevalence of chronic diseases are fuelling the growth of the medical connectors market.

The new generation of devices uses the growing Internet of Things to improve connectivity. Fixed imaging devices need to be able to send information between departments or facilities, and devices designed for home use must be able to communicate with the professional's medical team for diagnosis. The global prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer, arthritis, kidney, and cardiovascular diseases is increasing globally. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 7 in 10 deaths are due to chronic diseases. Due to the rise in chronic diseases, there is a rise in the number of surgeries performed for their treatment, leading to an increased need for medical connectors in setting up new medical devices. Due to the increasing complexity of diseases, the Key players are introducing advanced medical devices to grow the medical connectors market. Radiofrequency, ultrasound, or microwave are used for modern cosmetic surgery to alter human appearance. This is used for skin tightening or to remove unsightly wrinkles or fat tissue; practitioners require access to an ever-widening variety of energy delivery devices. Medical connectors for cosmetic surgery devices provide patient safety through a stable power delivery.

The rise in advancement in technology and development, increase in demand for medical connectors in developing countries, rise in the awareness related to health care among people, growth in the prevalence of health insurance, telemedicine, the advent of medical tourism, rise in the percentage of hospitals, are the factors driving the medical connectors market forward. Furthermore, rising technological advancements, transformation in the production of paracetamol, rising emerging markets with an increasing geriatric population and demand for medical connectors, and a rise in extensive R&D activities are the major factors that provide opportunities for market growth. In addition, paperless healthcare and cloud storage of patients' electronic health records are also leading to the demand for better connectivity.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

On the other hand, strict regulations and standards and a lack of awareness about connectors are the major factors imposing a negative impact on the growth of the medical connectors market. One of the significant challenges for manufacturers of medical connectors is wireless technology.

Impact Of Covid-19 Pandemic On Medical Connectors Market

COVID-19 is a public health emergency that has affected every industry worldwide. Medical connectors are one useful medical device to fight COVID-19. Key players manufacturing different medical technologies such as ventilators and monitoring devices are done with the help of connectors. Electronics companies are supplying OEMs with the parts necessary to build the products needed to protect and care for people affected by the virus while at the same time taking precautions to protect their employees. Arrow Electronics joined the U.K. government's Ventilator Competition U.K. Consortium and contributes components and engineering support to the initiative and other ventilator production efforts in the U.S. and worldwide. In addition, the company works with Abbott Medical to create cell COVID-19 test kits. Overall, COVID-19 left a favorable impact on the medical connectors market, and the market is projected to showcase a significant CAGR during the forecast period.
