Pulse oximeter is a non-invasive device used for monitoring oxygen level and heart rate of patients. These devices offer clinically relevant information regarding the health status of patients during diagnosis and post-surgery management. This information plays a vital role in deciding if a patient needs to be kept on a ventilator. Pulse oximeters are used during emergencies, pre-and post-surgery, on-going treatment at hospitals, and home healthcare. These devices are useful for people suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD), asthma, and other respiratory conditions.
Increase in importance of oxygen level monitoring at home care settings and improvement in reimbursement scenario of developed countries, are factors responsible for the growth of the pulse oximeter market. In addition, surge in geriatric population and rise in chronic health conditions including COP and sleep apnea, have fueled the growth of pulse oximeters market. Moreover, increase in use of pulse oximeters for fitness monitoring and rise in ambulatory surgery centers across various countries that use monitoring devices routinely have fueled the market growth. In addition, increase in prevalence of diseases such as hypertension, asthma, diabetes, and cardiac arrhythmia has significantly uplifted the demand for pulse oximeters. According to the World Health Organization, 64 million patients are currently suffering with COPD and is expected to be the major driver for the pulse oximeter market during forecast period. Increase in patient pool for the detection of congential heart defects and respiratory conditions thereby increased the demand for pulse oximeter, thus making way for opportunities for the growth of the market. However, lack of awareness toward these devices in the low- and middle-income countries hamper the market growth.
In addition, key industry players are undertaking major initiatives such as agreement, partnership, and acquisition of another companies to strengthen their market presence. For instance, in 2021, Masimo acquired LiDCO, a supplier of non-invasive and minimally invasive hemodynamic equipment expanding its portfolio of patient monitoring.
Moreover, according to the Worldometer, the virus has affected over 160 million people globally as of May 2021 and resulted in 3,346,760 deaths. This outbreak has led to concerns over timely medical attention leading to increased demand for pulse oximeter market.
In addition, the demand for portable pulse oximeters has increased over the years due to growth in preference for homecare patient monitoring. Monitoring of oxygen saturation level in home setting helps doctors to diagnose disease, including hypoxemia faster, reduce healthcare costs, and keep track of the course of treatment. Portable pulse oximeters offer several benefits such as ease-of-transportation and monitoring patient condition in pre-hospital situations (emergency or disaster). Almost all major players offer these portable pulse oximeters.
Fingertip pulse oximeters are one such portable oximeters used in all healthcare settings including homecare, clinical settings, and hospitals. Patients with breathing disorders, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), can monitor blood-oxygen levels themselves using these pulse oximeters. Fingertip pulse oximeter is a non-invasive and safe way of monitoring oxygen level in blood.
The pulse oximeter market is segmented on the basis of type, end user, and region. Depending on the type, the market is segmented into bedside pulse oximeters, fingertip pulse oximeters, handheld pulse oximeters, wrist-worn pulse oximeters, and pediatric pulse oximeters. By end user it is divided into hospitals & clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, and home environment.
Region wise, it is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
Technological advancement in pulse oximeters such as transfer of data, extensive memory, alarm system, and Bluetooth increase the efficiency of these devices. Rise in demand for pulse oximeter for the detection of heart rate, is also trending among geriatric population further expanding of the global market.
The key players operating in the pulse oximeter market include Contec Medical Systems Co. Ltd, Masimo Corporation, Meditech Equipment Co. Ltd., Medtronic Plc., Nonin Medical Inc., Omron Corporation, Koninklijke Philips N.V, Promed Technology Co.Ltd, Smith Group Plc, and Tenko Medical Systems.

Executive Summary
According to this report titled, 'Pulse Oximeters Market,' the pulse oximeters market size was $2.1 billion in 2021, and is estimated to reach $3.9 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 6.3% from 2022 to 2031.Pulse oximeters deal in the measurement of vital health parameters, such as respiratory rate, heart rate, and pulse rate. These are used to monitor a patient’s status prior to or during diagnosis of health condition. Pulse oximeters are used in a medical setting, home, or at the site of medical emergency.
Rise in cases of respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD), asthma, pneumonia drive demand for pulse oximeter industry. Furthermore, pulse oximeters market trends such as technological advancement will be a key aspect driving pulse oximeters market growth in the upcoming years. Nonin Medical Inc. offers NoninConnect, a Bluetooth-enabled wireless finger pulse oximeter, which can be used by athletes, pilots, and quantified-self trackers for measuring arterial blood oxygen saturation and pulse rate. The device possesses advanced features such as pairing ability with Bluetooth-enabled mobile devices and use of nonincorrect check finger placement technology for alerting users about proper finger placement. Thus, the market is expected to witness dynamic growth with the advent of these technologically advanced products. However, lack of awareness in developing countries surrounding portable pulse oximeters hampers the growth of the pulse oximeters industry.
