The major factors for the growth of the smart pulse oximeters market include the rising cases of cardiovascular diseases and an increase in the geriatric population, and the growing demand for portable monitoring devices.

The smart pulse oximeters are used to monitor the oxygen saturation of hemoglobin in the arterial blood non invasively. These devices use infrared light to measure the oxygen level and heart rate. The rising prevalence of cardiovascular diseases is expected to boost the demand for smart pulse oximeters.

According to the American College of Cardiology, cardiovascular disease (CVD) accounted for about 800,000 deaths in the United States in 2016. Among Americans, an average of one person dies from cardiovascular disease, every 40 seconds. Coronary heart disease (CHD) accounts for the majority of CVD deaths, followed by stroke and heart failure. Thus, owing to the rising cases of cardiovascular diseases the market is expected to witness high demand over the forecast period.
