The global pressure mapping systems in healthcare market size is expected to reach USD 799.1 million by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 4.9% from 2023 to 2030. Pressure mapping systems are devices used to monitor pressure distribution by the healthcare professionals.
The systems are used by healthcare professionals to prevent any potential injuries in patients, which can occur due to prolonged pressure on certain body parts that can cause injuries such as pressure ulcers. The condition is common among patients who are confined to wheelchairs or are bedridden due to medical conditions such as Alzheimer’s, amputations, paralysis, or multiple sclerosis. These conditions usually impair the movement of the patient, which increases the risk. According to an article by NCBI dated July 2022, the global prevalence of the condition was estimated to be 12.8%. The use of these systems helps to considerably reduce the condition as the systems display the data regarding the pressure points.
Moreover, increasing prevalence of chronic conditions such as Alzheimer’s, paralysis, multiple sclerosis, and amputations is expected to drive the demand for the systems during the forecast period. For instance, according to an article by single care dated March 2022, 2.8 million people suffered from multiple sclerosis worldwide. Multiple sclerosis causes muscle spasms, weakness, fatigue, and disability in severe conditions. These systems are used for gait posture research, which aids the clinicians to diagnose lower limb problems and prevent injury.
Moreover, the availability of foot insoles with sensors helps to prevent and diagnose injuries in athletes and patients with foot injuries. These sensors help patients suffering from foot deformities and poor balance in improving their conditions. For instance, according to an article by Herald Scholarly Open Access dated January 2021, the global prevalence of foot deformity was 36.5% in 2021. The PPS Foot Pressure Mapping System has sensors to measure and analyze foot pressure distribution that helps clinicians in gait analysis, diabetic foot complications, and other disciplines.
Rising number of initiatives such as mergers and acquisitions undertaken by key players in the market is expected to boost the growth. Moreover, introduction of technologically advanced products by the key players is expected to further increase the market growth. For instance, in December 2021, Tekscan announced the launch of FScan 64 2.0, which is a Bluetooth enabled, cord free in-shoe foot insole. The system helps to capture pressure, force, and temporal gait data that help the physicians to identify and correct asymmetries and issues in gait cycle.
