The global stethoscope market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.3% during the forecast period from 2024 to 2030. The demand for stethoscopes is primarily being boosted by the increasing number of average patient visits to physicians owing to the rising prevalence of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, respiratory illnesses such as asthma, bronchitis, and lifestyle disorders such as hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and others. Further, the increasing geriatric population, the rising demand for an electronic stethoscope, various product approval & launches, innovation in product development, and others are contributing to the overall growth of the stethoscope market during the forecast period from 2024-2030.
Stethoscope Market Dynamics:
The stethoscope market is witnessing a growth in product demand owing to various factors, one of the key factors is the increasing patient pool suffering from chronic diseases.
For instance, according to World Health Organization (WHO) 2022, the number of adults aged 30-79 years with hypertension has increased from 650 million to 1.28 billion in the last thirty years. Therefore, the increasing cases of hypertension (HTN) in past years need to measure heart & lung sounds and blood pressure in combination with a sphygmomanometer on regular bases to prevent any serious complications. Thus, the increasing cases of hypertension will increase the demand for a stethoscope for regular monitoring.
Further, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 2022, about 697,000 people in the United States (US) died from heart disease in 2020-that's 1 in every 5 deaths. From the same source, every year, about 805,000 people in the US have a heart attack. Out of these, 605,000 are a first heart attack and 200,000 happen to people who have already had a heart attack.
In such cases, digital stethoscopes aid in maintaining further complications by detecting multiple cardiac abnormalities. On the other hand, digital stethoscopes can be used by patients at home to detect irregularity in heart pumping. Thus, the increasing number of cases of heart attacks may increase the demand for a stethoscope.
Furthermore, various strategies adopted by the key market players are anticipated to drive market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in August 2022, Caregility, a telehealth platform company, and Eko, the developer of stethoscopes for telehealth, signed an integration partnership. Caregility's cloud platform can connect with Eko's smart stethoscopes and software. This lets users of Caregility's iConsult app perform high-quality auscultation (listening for heart, lung, and other body sounds) on patients during a virtual physical exam.
Therefore, the above-mentioned factors and others are contributing to the growth of the stethoscope market during the forecast period from 2024-2030.
However, security and data breaching concerns in the case of the digital stethoscope, and others may restrict the stethoscope market growth.
The stethoscope devices market was positively impacted as the outbreak increased the demand for electronic stethoscopes, as auscultation of the lungs was generally the first procedure used to determine whether the lungs were infected with COVID-19 or not, thereby increasing the demand for stethoscopes among end-users ranging from physicians to hospitals or home care. This led to a sudden surge in the demand for stethoscopes. However, during the initial phase, the demand for stethoscopes was disrupted owing to the lack of resources, raw materials, and manpower. But, as the demand for stethoscopes increased during the pandemic, sales increased significantly with the availability of stethoscopes over e-commerce platforms. Moreover, stethoscope devices help in the measurement of the vitals of patients in a homecare setting and avoid frequent visits to healthcare professionals. The physicians were able to track the heart sound & blood pressure data of patients regularly through the digital stethoscope devices by sitting in a different room. Henceforth, the afore-said factors propelled the demand for stethoscopes during the pandemic and are estimated to grow similarly during the forecast period.
