Pressure Ulcer Detection Device Market Report 2025

This report covers market characteristics, size and growth, segmentation, regional and country breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends and strategies for this market. It traces the market’s historic and forecast market growth by geography.

The pressure ulcer detection device market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.44 billion in 2024 to $1.52 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing aging population, growing awareness in healthcare, stringent regulatory guidelines, increased focus on long-term care facilities, collaboration with healthcare institutions, reimbursement policies and support.

The pressure ulcer detection device market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.81 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to preventive healthcare initiatives, increasing focus on home healthcare, patient-centric care trends, global health preparedness, educational campaigns for healthcare professionals. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in wearable pressure ulcer sensors, integration of artificial intelligence (ai) algorithms, development of smart mattresses and surfaces, focus on wireless and mobile connectivity, introduction of 3d imaging technologies.

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 propel the growth of the pressure ulcer detection device market going forward. Healthcare expenditure refers to the total amount of money spent on healthcare goods and services within a specific period, typically expressed in monetary terms. As healthcare spending increases, it enables the development and implementation of advanced pressure ulcer detection devices, which facilitate early detection and prevention of pressure ulcers. This not only helps in reducing overall treatment costs but also improves patient outcomes. For instance, according to economic forecasts from the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) and the Treasury, the UK's planned health spending is projected to rise to £192 billion ($244.43 billion) in 2024/25, up from £182 billion ($231.7 billion) in 2022/23. This increasing healthcare expenditure is driving the growth of the pressure ulcer detection device 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.

The pressure ulcer detection device market consists of sales of thermographic imaging system, wearable pressure sensors, and surface pressure mapping systems. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.

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.
