欧洲预计将占据第二大市场占有率。
由于医疗保健支出增加和心血管疾病盛行率增加,预计欧洲将在预测期内成为医疗电极市场的第二大股东。根据欧洲心臟网路(EHN)统计,欧洲有390万人患有心血管疾病,其中每年有180万人死亡。此外,医疗产业的数位化以及利用《医院期货法案》融资来解决医院市场两位数的投资积压问题是两个成长催化剂。根据 2020 年 10 月通过的这项法律,德国的医院系统将现代化并更加数位化。联邦政府提供了 30 亿欧元(35 亿美元)的额外资金,各州提供了 13 亿欧元(15 亿美元)的额外资金。
The medical electrode is a device used during surgery, it is a small metal plate or needle that carries electricity from an instrument. It helps in diagnosing certain conditions by transferring electrodes from the brain, heart, and muscles to other body parts. It helps to diagnose various disorders including cardiac, nervous, and muscular.
Driving factors for the medical electrodes market
The medical electrode industry is anticipated to grow due to the rising prevalence of heart disorders, brain disorders, Parkinson's Disease, circulatory disturbances, body aches, and many other illnesses. The growing use of minimally invasive surgeries is also a key medical electrode market driver. Additionally, various technological advantages in medical electrodes and the rise in demand for portable devices to deal with the hospital and healthcare-related cost is further fueling the medical electrode market growth.
Growing prevalence of chronic diseases
Chronic diseases have grown exponentially in recent years owing to the changing lifestyle and eating habits of patients. For instance, according to the World Health Organization report, cardiovascular disease is considered the leading cause of death globally. In addition to this, the rising geriatric population and, the increase in the number of people suffering from obesity, and diabetes are the key drivers for the medical electrode industry. An increase in the prevalence of cardiovascular and neurological disorders is also anticipated to fuel the medical electrode market. The rise in mortality risk with such disorders is also increasing the utilization of medical diagnosis.
Advancement in Technology
Technological advancements in the medical electrode market is one the major factor fueling the market. For instance, in November 2022, Flexcon Company announced the commercialization of FLEXcon OMNI-WAVE Signal Receptive Media Components. This medical-grade conductive gel generates a signal without using hydrogen or Ag/AgCl. The novel technology incorporated electrodes are cost-effective and user-friendly. Moreover, as the electrodes are miniaturized, they can be easily used for patients without having a bunch of wires.
