The use of sensors in the healthcare sector is
mainly driven by the increasing need for
sophistication in medical electronics to sense
and monitor temperatures, pressures, chemical,
and biological levels of patients and drugs for
applications in diagnostics, therapeutics,
monitoring, drug discovery and delivery in
hospitals and other medical facilities, including
home-treatments. Sensors play an important role
in enhancing safety and improving the quality of
life in the healthcare arena. Sensors are
increasingly being used in medical applications
due to accuracy, intelligence, capability,
reliability, small size, and low power
consumption of sensors. Sensors increase the
intelligence of the life supporting implants.
They can also be used in various types of
monitoring appliances to provide better quality
of life for the patients. Sensors enable early
detection of ailments, thereby allowing a timely
prevention or cure. The penetration rate is also
being increased by the growing awareness for
advanced healthcare infrastructure in all
countries, about the benefits and role of
advanced sensors-equipped medical equipment, in
preventing illness and saving more lives. Also,
as the prices of advanced medical sensors are
slowly being reduced and made affordable, their
penetration rate is set to increase in developing
and underdeveloped regions. The various sensors
to find applications in healthcare include
pressure, temperature, chemical, flow, level,
position, and image and bio sensors.

The sensors market in medical applications is
experiencing an increase in revenue due to
several reasons such as demand from the
healthcare sector for better and improved care,
rising importance of sensors in almost all
medical devices, developments in sensor
technology, and newer medical applications for
sensors. The sensors market in medical
applications is driven by rising healthcare
costs, aging population, wide-spread diseases and
the need for medical diagnosis and treatment in
developing and under-developed regions. The
developed economies such as North America and
Europe currently form the major shareholders in
the revenue of sensors in healthcare
applications, but the revenue is expected to
increase rapidly over the years to come, with an
increasing penetration of advanced sensors in
sophisticated medical equipment being deployed
for use in developing geographies such as Asia
and Africa. In terms of market statistics, the
biggest revenue contributors are biosensors,
which are sensors specifically designed for use
in biological applications such as cardiac
pacemakers, in-vitro diagnostics, and other
implantable medical electronics. The biosensors
can be termed as the biggest game-changers for
sensors market in healthcare applications in the
past two decades, as it can be undoubtedly said
that the current huge market size worth
approximately 8 billion is attained through
biosensors. They, at present, account for a
majority of the total revenue, owing to the
wide-spread use of biosensors in monitoring and
diagnostic applications of the medical segment
and rapidly increasing use of biosensors even in
the pharmaceutical segment.

Thus, it can be seen that owing to several
revolutionizing factors and game changers, the
sensors market in healthcare applications has
evolved from an infant to a gigantic market over
four decades. Technological advancements, huge
level of RD activities, growing demand for
sophisticated medical equipment are expected to
drive the evolution of sensors in the healthcare
sector, boosting the overall market revenue
significantly over the coming years. The report
