European and North America Health and Home Monitoring Market Report 2021: Market Value will Exceed €115 Million by 2026 as the Number of Remotely Monitored Patients is Set to Grow by 16.8%

Dublin, Jan. 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Health and Home Monitoring - 10th Edition" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The number of remotely monitored patients will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.8% to reach €115.7 million by 2026.

The number of remotely monitored patients reached 45.6 million in 2020 as the market acceptance continues to grow. This number includes all patients enrolled in mHealth care programs in which connected medical devices are used as a part of the care regimen.

The primary focus of this report is on home monitoring solutions, which are commonly used to manage patients with various chronic conditions such as cardiac arrhythmia, sleep apnoea and diabetes. Other applications include remote diagnostics, compliance monitoring and clinical trials.

Cellular connectivity remains the de-facto standard communications technology for most types of connected home medical monitoring devices and will account for €51.0 million connections in 2026. However, the use of patients' own mobile devices as health hubs has become a viable alternative for remote patient monitoring and BYOD connectivity is already the preferred option in some segments. By 2026 a total of €60.5 million patients will rely on BYOD connectivity.

The publisher estimates that revenues for remote patient monitoring (RPM) solutions reached €27.8 billion in 2020, including revenues from medical monitoring devices, mHealth connectivity solutions, care delivery platforms and mHealth care programs. RPM revenues are expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.6 percent between 2020 and 2026 to reach €53.7 billion at the end of the forecast period.

Connected medical devices accounted for 64 percent of total RPM revenues in 2020. However, revenues for mHealth connectivity solutions, care delivery platforms and mHealth care programs are growing at a faster rate and will account for 55 percent of total revenues in 2023, up from just 36 percent in 2020.

There is a strong trend towards incorporating more connectivity in medical devices in order to enable new services and value propositions. Sleep therapy is by far the most connected segment and is dominated by ResMed and Philips. The number of monitored patients continues to grow and has more than doubled since 2017, largely due to the compliance monitoring requirements that have been introduced in the US and France.

Implantable cardiac rhythm management (CRM) has traditionally been the largest market segment, led by companies such as Medtronic, Abbott, Boston Scientific and Biotronik that included connectivity in CRM solutions two decades ago. The publisher predicts that three of the fastest-growing market segments in the next six years will be glucose monitoring, airflow monitoring and connected medication solutions.
