Blood pressure cuffs Market Analysis including Growth, Challenges, Opportunities and Future Developments to 2026

Blood pressure cuffs are used to measure patients' blood pressure. The cuff is constructed of a rubber balloon that inflates and wraps around the arm. Additionally, post-inflation, systolic, and diastolic blood pressure can be measured, allowing hypertension issues to be identified. On the market, there are three types of blood pressure cuffs: mercury-based, aneroid (mechanical), and digital. Digital blood pressure cuffs are automatic, inflating and deflating with the press of a button, whereas mercury-based and aneroid blood pressure cuffs are manual and need the use of a stethoscope to monitor the patients' systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

Leading manufacturers are concentrating their efforts on developing goods for the global blood pressure cuffs market. In 2019, Omron Corporation, for example, released Heartguide, the first blood pressure monitor in the shape of a wristwatch. The Heartguide bracelet is equipped with an inflatable cuff that inflates and records the patients' blood pressure. The device can take up to 100 readings, which are then uploaded to the Heartadvisor smartphone app. The United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) authorised Heartguide in December 2018.

Furthermore, Withings is waiting for FDA approval for its product BPM Core, which is a 3-in-1 device that can measure blood pressure, electrocardiogram (ECG), and function as a stethoscope when placed near the heart, as well as monitor valvular heart abnormalities in patients.

The global prevalence of hypertension has been observed, and it affects people of all ages due to variables such as obesity, diabetes, a lack of physical exercise, old age, and genetics.

The usage of digital blood pressure cuffs has been linked to various downsides. For example, digital blood pressure cuffs are available on the market and can be used by patients for personal blood pressure measurement. The incorrect size and location of the cuffs on the arm can lead to blood pressure reading errors and incorrect identification of the ailment. Traditional blood pressure monitoring equipment, such as mercury-based blood pressure measuring devices and mechanical blood pressure measuring devices, are alternatives to digital blood pressure devices and are used in clinics and point-of-care services to record accurate blood pressure readings.
