The global wearable medical devices market size was estimated at USD 33.85 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.66% from 2024 to 2030. The anticipated growth in industries like remote patient monitoring and home healthcare will impact the market, along with an increased focus on fitness and a health-oriented lifestyle. The market holds significant opportunities driven by technological advancements, merger and acquisition activities, increasing clinical trials, and heightened awareness of personal health monitoring.

Due to sedentary routines, lifestyle-related disorders like diabetes and hypertension are expected to rise, necessitating continuous monitoring of physiological parameters. Portable medical devices enable the amalgamation of healthcare data, providing real-time access for physicians and minimizing errors. The increasing mortality rate from non-communicable diseases emphasizes the need for personalized monitoring and care, contributing to an increased demand for wearable medical products. The COVID-19 pandemic has expanded the utility of wearable medical devices in healthcare. Innovative products, like the Ava Bracelet, initially designed as a fertility tracker, are now repurposed to detect early signs of viral infections. With monitoring parameters such as heart rate variability, breathing rate, and skin temperature, the bracelet proves valuable in tracking COVID-19 symptoms, presenting a distinctive opportunity during the global health crisis.
