Blood Pressure Monitoring and Measurement Instruments: A Global Strategic Business Report
San Jose, California (PRWEB) March 04, 2015
Follow us on LinkedIn -Hypertension is rapidly becoming a worrisome public health issue worldwide. The rising prevalence of high blood pressure in adults represents a major economic and social burden in both developed and developing countries. By 2025, the number of hypertension cases globally is projected to rise to 1.5 billion, equating to approximately 30% of the total adult population. About 75% of these patients are forecast to come from the developing countries. Major lifestyle factors aggravating the prevalence of high blood pressure include unhealthy lifestyles, lack of outdoor exercise, excessive alcohol consumption, obesity, rise in stress levels, and diets high in sodium and low in proteins and essential minerals. Other risk factors for developing hypertension include age, genetic predisposition, and pre-existing health conditions like cardiovascular diseases and kidney diseases. In North America, elevated blood pressure is the leading cause behind the rising number of cardiovascular diseases. Each year, approximately seven million Americans succumb to illnesses caused by high blood pressure.
Future growth in the market will be driven by the rapidly aging population, changing lifestyles particularly in the developing countries, and introduction of technically advanced products. Prevalence of hypertension is very high in the elderly population with about 70% of high blood pressure patients being above the age of 60. Government policies and initiatives for the control and effective management of the epidemic nature of hypertension, bodes well for growth in the market. Technology innovations benefiting growth include the development of advanced, lightweight, discreet BP monitors; morning hypertension indicators; solar-powered, talking blood pressure monitors; and monitors with memory, time and date features. Poised to witness strong sales are smart blood pressure monitoring systems with the capacity to automatically measure blood-glucose levels and send out alerts when changes in blood pressure readings are outside the normal range.
