Pressure Ulcer Detection Device Global Market Report 2024

The pressure ulcer detection devices market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.36 billion in 2023 to $1.44 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to various factors, including the increasing aging population, growing awareness in healthcare, adherence to stringent regulatory guidelines, an increased focus on long-term care facilities, collaboration with healthcare institutions, and supportive reimbursement policies.

The pressure ulcer detection devices market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.74 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to preventive healthcare initiatives, a rising focus on home healthcare, the prevalence of patient-centric care trends, global health preparedness efforts, and educational campaigns for healthcare professionals. Major trends expected in the forecast period include advancements in wearable pressure ulcer sensors, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, the development of smart mattresses and surfaces, an emphasis on wireless and mobile connectivity in pressure ulcer detection devices, and the introduction of 3D imaging technologies to enhance detection and monitoring capabilities.

The increasing prevalence of diabetes is anticipated to drive the growth of the pressure ulcer detection device market. Diabetes, a long-term metabolic condition characterized by high blood glucose, poses a serious risk to various body systems over time, including the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nerves. Diabetic individuals face an elevated risk of developing pressure ulcers due to factors such as neuropathy and poor circulation. Pressure ulcer detection devices play a crucial role in identifying early signs of pressure-related skin damage, aiding healthcare professionals in preventing the development of pressure ulcers in individuals with diabetes. For instance, a January 2023 report by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), a Belgium-based diabetes association, projected a 25% increase in the prevalence of diabetes by 2030 and a 51% increase by 2045. Therefore, the rising prevalence of diabetes is a key driver for the pressure ulcer detection device market.

The increasing healthcare expenditure is expected to contribute to the growth of the pressure ulcer detection device market. Healthcare expenditure refers to the total amount of money spent on healthcare goods and services within a specific period, typically expressed as a monetary value. Healthcare expenditure plays a pivotal role in advancing and implementing pressure ulcer detection devices, facilitating early detection and prevention. This, in turn, can reduce treatment costs and improve patient outcomes. For example, according to the American Medical Association's March 2023 report, healthcare spending in the United States increased by 2.7% to $4.3 trillion in 2021, reaching $12,914 per capita. Consequently, the escalating healthcare expenditure is a driving factor for the growth of the pressure ulcer detection device market.

The high cost associated with pressure ulcer treatments is a significant impediment to the growth of the pressure ulcer detection devices market. Treating pressure ulcers, especially in advanced stages, can be financially burdensome and resource-intensive, involving costly procedures such as wound care, surgeries, and extended hospital stays. For example, in August 2022, according to OP2 Labs, a US-based medical laboratory, the treatment cost for stage 4 pressure ulcers can reach a staggering $44,000 per patient due to the intensive nature of the required care. Consequently, the considerable expense involved in pressure ulcer treatment acts as a hindrance to the expansion of the pressure ulcer detection devices market.

Leading companies in the pressure ulcer detection device market are dedicated to innovation, introducing advanced products such as Provizio SEM scanner single-use sensors to ensure reliable customer service. The Provizio SEM scanner is a medical device designed to identify changes in subcutaneous tissue, signaling the early onset of pressure ulcers. In September 2022, ArjoHuntleigh Inc., a US-based medical equipment company, launched the Provizio SEM scanner. This device aids clinical staff in identifying areas at an elevated risk for pressure damage, allowing for prompt and anatomically-specific evaluations and focused interventions to prevent pressure injuries.

In March 2023, Syst'Am, a France-based medical equipment company, acquired Jarven Health Care Oy for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition enhances Syst'am's position in the anti-decubitus prevention and care devices market. Additionally, it accelerates Järven's commercial expansion while maintaining its unique identity, positioning it as an optimal choice in the field. Jarven Health Care Oy, based in Sweden, specializes in manufacturing medical equipment for the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers.

A pressure ulcer detection device is a medical tool created to monitor and identify the presence of pressure ulcers, also known as bedsores or pressure sores. Pressure ulcers develop when prolonged pressure is applied to a specific area of the body. These detection devices play a crucial role in healthcare settings by aiding in the prevention, early detection, and management of pressure ulcers. They contribute to better patient care, reduced healthcare costs, and improved outcomes for individuals at risk of developing these skin injuries.

The main product types of pressure ulcer detection devices include in-shoe sensors, surface electrodes, SEM (Skin and Tissue Assessment Monitoring Scanner) scanners, and pressure-measuring mattresses. In-shoe sensors are specialized devices or sensor systems designed to be placed inside a shoe, collecting data related to foot movement, pressure distribution, and gait dynamics. These devices find applications in different stages of pressure ulcers (Stage 1, Stage 2, Stage 3, and Stage 4) and are used by various end-users, including hospitals, nursing homes, home care settings, and others.
