Abstract
The Consumer Medical Devices Production Yearbook 2007 provides a unique
overview of the growing sector of home-use medical devices. The markets for 9
of the largest and fastest growing consumer medical devices have been
analysed, many of which have been highlighted as integral to the expansion of
telehealth. The following information is provided:
- Detailed market analysis for blood-glucose meters, blood-pressure
monitors, body fat analysers, cholesterol meters, digital thermometers,
heart-rate monitors, pregnancy & fertility test kits, nebulisers and TENS
devices.
- Global market size statistics for each device with forecasts to 2011
- Regional market size statistics for each device in the Americas, EMEA and
Asia Pacific
- Regional consumption vs. production statistics for each device
- Market share analysis for the leading suppliers of each device
- Company profiles with production volume ranges for each device
The market for consumer medical devices is set to experience a period of
strong growth. Telehealth initiatives have been heralded as a potential cure
for over-burdened public health services looking to prioritise costs. In a
telehealth enabled environment, a person can transmit health indicators such
as blood pressure, heart-rate, blood glucose and temperature securely over a
wireless telecommunication network to health professionals for analysis.
Fitness and wellness products are also embracing communication technology to
raise the level of effectiveness and value they offer to the health conscious
consumer in a telehealth environment.
The specification of this study was developed in conjunction with numerous
leading manufacturers of consumer medical devices and component suppliers to
the industry.
The Consumer Medical Devices Production Yearbook 2007 also has a companion
report entitled, "Semiconductors & Components in Consumer Medical Devices."
This report provides detailed information on the types of semiconductors and
components used in the consumer medical devices market, covering the following
areas:
- Sensing, Optoelectronics & Displays
- Micro & DSP-based ICs
- Analog & Memory Components
- Other Semiconductors & Components
