Medical Electrodes Market: Tech Trends & leading Segments
                     Medical Electrodes Market: Tech 
Trends & leading Segments
The  steady  rise  in  the  number  of  chronic  diseases  reflects  an  urgent  need  for 
countries  worldwide  to  establish  healthcare  programs,  reforms  and  funds  for  the 
public. Due to the advancing popularity  of early diagnosis and treatment, the global 
medical electrodes market is expected to progress at a growth rate of 4.99% during 
the forecast period 2022-2028.
According  to  a  report  by  World  Health  Organization  (WHO),  approximately  17.9 
million    people    died    from    cardiovascular    diseases    in    2019,    accounting    
for nearly 32% of   the global   deaths.   Additionally,   approximately 50   million 
people worldwide suffer from neurological disorders such as epilepsy.
Government Initiatives: Key Driver
The  geriatric  population  is  increasing  worldwide.  According  to  a  report  by  the  
UN, Population  division,  North  America  is  projected  to  be  the  second  most-aged 
 region after Europe in the coming year, with 28% of the population aged 60 years 
and over in  2050.  Such  an  increase  in  the  elderly  population  increases  the  
incidence  of neurological   and   cardiovascular   diseases,   sleep-related   disorders  
 and   other diseases.
Although  with  an  increase  in  the  incidence  of  diseases,  there  has  been  a  rise  
in investments in the research and development of all healthcare services. According 
to a   WHO   report   on   Global   Healthcare   Expenditure,   the   spending   reached 
$8.5 trillion in 2019,  i.e.,  9.8% of global  GDP,  with  high-income  countries  
accounting for about 80% of this spending.
Some of the government healthcare reforms and funding initiatives are listed 
as follows-
Universal Health Coverage has focused on strengthening the health systems
around the world. This ensures that people worldwide have access to quality 
healthcare without any financial hardship.
Similarly,  government  initiative  such  as Production  Linked  Incentive  Scheme in  
India for  Medical  Devices  2020  provides  a  financial  incentive  to  boost domestic  
manufacturing  and  attracts  large  investments  in  medical  devices. The   
government   also  introduced   Medical   Devices   Parks   Scheme   in   the country to 
support the medical device sector.
Horizon Europe for funding research and innovation to achieve SDGs by the EU  
facilitates  industrial  competitiveness  and  optimizes  investment  impact within a 
strengthened European Research Area.
 The Federal  Ministry  of  Education  and  Research  in  Germany announced  
an increase in medical technology funding further by USD 23.7million to 
address the needs of Covid-19 patients and advance the healthcare system.
Such  government  initiatives  result  in  increased  investments  in  healthcare  
facilities. These  investments  result  in  higher  production  of medical  
electrodes due  to  their application  in  different  diseases,  thereby  driving  
the  growth  of  the  studied  market during the forecast period 2022-2028.
Technological Advancements - Key Opportunity
Based on application, cardiology is anticipated to drive the segment with a CAGR 
of 5.45% during  the  forecast  period  2022-2028. The  electrodes  used  in  
this  segment are  developed  using  different  technologies.  These  electrodes 
 can  be  dry  or  wet, disposable  or  reusable,  wireless  or  wired,  depending  
on  the  usage  and  type  of treatment like ECG, EEG, EMG and others.
The diagnostic is expected to drive the type segment with a CAGR of 4.88% 
during the forecast period 2022-2028. The demand for electrodes has been 
growing rapidly due   to   technological   advancements   for   increasing   the   
portability   of   medical electrodes,  the  rising  need  for  preventive  medicine  
and  the  increasing  number  of chronic diseases.
With  digitalization  and technological  advancements,  consumer  demand  is  
changing based on new product patterns. For instance, the developments in 
medical electrode applications  using miniaturization  with  the  help  of  
nanotechnology is  a  major  trend, boosting the market growth. The process 
makes the electrodes portable, resulting in higher density, localized stimulation 
control, and greater tissue-sensing resolution.
Conclusion
The  development,  manufacturing,  distribution  and  sale  of medical  electrodes 
are subject  to  stringent  regulatory  processes  for  their  safety,  quality  and  
performance checks.  They  are  also  subjected  to  various  environmental  
health  and  safety  laws requiring  proper  sterilization.  However,  the  
diversified  portfolio  of  competitors  and acquisitions  drives  the  global  
medical  electrode  market  with  new  technology  and  a streamlined process.
Some of the key partnerships and acquisitions are:
 With  the  acquisition  of  Itamar  Medical  Ltd, ZOLL  Medical  Corporation 
hopes to   improve   communication   between   the   fields   of   cardiology   
and   sleep medicine while assisting more patients in receiving a diagnosis and 
treatment for sleep-disordered breathing.
 Nihon Kohden acquired AMP3D to integrate the Saas platform of AMP3D into 
their healthcare ecosystem.
 GE   Healthcare   acquired   BK   to   expand   GE’s   Ultrasound   business   
from diagnostics to surgical and therapeutic interventions.
 Johnson  and  Johnson’s  Ethicon  business  completed  the  acquisition  of  
Auris Health to expand the digital surgery portfolio and bring disruptive 
innovation to the   complete   continuum   of    procedures,   including   open,   
laparoscopic, endoluminal and robotic.
