[189 Pages Report] The Medical Thermometer Market size was estimated at USD 2.54 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 2.95 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 15.92% to reach USD 7.17 billion by 2030.
A medical thermometer is a device that is widely used by medical professionals to measure and monitor human or animal body temperature. The surging prevalence of infectious diseases, including influenza, malaria, dengue, COVID-19, and swine flu, among others, is increasing the use of medical thermometers to detect accurate body temperature readings for determining appropriate treatment for the underlying conditions. The growing health consciousness among individuals and rising awareness regarding self-healthcare are expanding the use of non-contact electronic and digital thermometers by patients. Medical professionals increasingly use medical thermometers to check patients’ health status and prescribe treatment for high-temperature conditions. However, the incidences of product recall due to inaccurate readings and risks associated with mercury thermometers may adversely impact their use by medical professionals. Moreover, the ongoing improvements in medical thermometers to achieve rapid, accurate, precise, and non-contact temperature measurements are expected to accelerate their use in medical and home care settings.
Device: Focus on mercury-free thermometers with the need for safer, user-friendly medical devices
Mercury-based thermometers, traditionally used for their accuracy, operate on the principle of mercury expansion. These devices have been a staple in healthcare owing to their precise measurements. They are preferred in settings where accuracy cannot be compromised, often in clinical and laboratory-based environments. However, due to environmental & health concerns associated with mercury, their usage has seen a decline in household and general medical applications. Mercury-free thermometers have gained prominence due to their safety, ease of use, and environmental friendliness. They encompass digital thermometers, infrared thermometers, and alcohol-based types, among others. These thermometers are widely preferred for household and clinical use, especially in pediatrics, due to the absence of toxic substances and ease of reading the results.
End-User: Need for thermometers with high accuracy and integration capabilities in hospitals
Clinics represent a significant segment of the medical thermometer market, primarily characterized by their need for both accuracy and efficiency. These establishments often cater to a broad spectrum of patients, requiring devices that deliver rapid results without compromising precision. Clinics often prefer digital thermometers, including tympanic (ear) and infrared non-contact types, for their quick readings and minimal patient disturbance. Hospitals demand the highest standards in terms of accuracy, reliability, and hygiene from medical thermometers. These facilities often deal with critically ill patients, where precise temperature readings could influence treatment decisions significantly. The requirement for thermometers that can be easily sterilized or disposably covered to prevent cross-contamination is also a critical consideration. The independent consumer market for medical thermometers has seen substantial growth, particularly driven by the increased health consciousness among the public and the recent global health crises. Ease of use, affordability, and the ability to quickly check body temperature at home are the primary considerations for this segment.
Regional Insights
The prevalence of infectious diseases across nations worldwide, including the U.S., Russia, Germany, the UK, Brazil, Canada, China, India, South Korea, Japan, among others, are expanding the use of medical thermometers to accurately measure the body temperature of patients for providing an appropriate treatment plan for the patients. The increasing awareness of self-healthcare among individuals in developed and emerging economies facilitates using medical thermometers to measure the patient’s body temperature precisely. Moreover, the stringent regulations imposed on the use of mercury-based medical devices by the government of China, the U.S., California, Michigan, and Oregan are leading to the development of technologically advanced and digitalized thermometers that can assist healthcare professionals in rapidly measuring patient’s body temperature without physical contact, thereby preventing the risk of contracting infectious diseases through the contact of medical thermometers. The ongoing improvements in the infrared and digital thermometers to deliver results within a second with an easy-to-read display are expected to accelerate their adoption by medical professionals and in-home healthcare settings.
