The health sensors market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The health sensors market has grown rapidly in recent years. It is expected to increase from $60.73 billion in 2024 to $72.81 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.9%.
This growth is linked to educational initiatives, the ability of health sensors to manage healthcare costs through early detection, the growth of consumer electronics, and improvements in sensor accuracy for critical health applications.
The health sensors market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The health sensors market is expected to experience rapid expansion, reaching $148.48 billion in 2029, growing at a CAGR of 19.5%.
The forecasted growth is driven by government initiatives promoting mHealth products, stricter regulatory standards fostering innovation in sensor precision and dependability, increased healthcare spending due to economic growth in emerging markets, a rise in lifestyle-related diseases that require ongoing monitoring, and the implementation of corporate wellness programs. Key trends include environmental sensors for health monitoring, improved data analytics and predictive health insights, fabric-integrated sensors, personalized healthcare solutions, and advancements in biotechnology.
The shift toward home-based healthcare services is expected to propel the growth of the health sensors market. Home healthcare services, driven by an aging population and technological advances, are cost-effective and allow individuals to maintain independence. Health sensors enable remote monitoring of vital signs, improving care quality and outcomes. According to Statistics Canada, private and public nursing and residential care facility revenues grew to $39.1 billion in 2022, reflecting the increasing demand for home-based care. Thus, this trend is fueling the health sensors market.

Prominent players in the health sensors market are innovating continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems, offering real-time glucose monitoring solutions for diabetic individuals. These CGM systems serve as medical equipment providing immediate measurements of glucose levels within the interstitial fluid. As an illustration, Abbott Laboratories, a healthcare firm based in the US, rolled out the FreeStyle Libre 3 system in October 2022. This system, a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) solution, is designed for diabetes patients aged 4 and above. It enables continuous monitoring of glucose without the necessity for regular fingerstick tests. Furthermore, it provides Medicare coverage subject to specific conditions and gives qualifying patients the benefit of a free sensor. It can also sync with certain mobile devices via its app, offer real-time glucose alerts, share data with healthcare providers, and requires a prescription for usage.
