MARKET OVERVIEW

In terms of revenue, the global stethoscope market was valued at $xx million in 2022, and is expected to reach $xx million by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 5.80% during the forecast period 2023-2032.

A stethoscope is used to listen to sounds produced within the body, mainly in the lungs, heart or intestines. It finds application in detecting irregular heart rhythms, abnormal heart sounds, or heart murmurs. Therefore it is used as a cardiovascular diagnostic instrument. It is also used to hear the sound of air moving through the lungs to detect abnormalities in the air tubes and sacs found in the lung walls.

GROWTH ENABLERS

Key growth enablers of the global stethoscope market are:

  • Growing occurrences of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases
    • As per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 697,000 people died due to heart disease in the United States in 2020.
    •  Also, as per Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), in 2019, chronic respiratory diseases accounted for about 534,242 deaths in the Americas. The rising prevalence of such diseases is expected to drive the market. 
  • Rise in the geriatric population
  • Technological advancements in developing stethoscopes
  • Widening applications of digital stethoscopes for diagnosing chronic diseases

GROWTH RESTRAINTS

Key growth restraining factors are: 

  • Lack of skilled healthcare personnel
  • Stringent regulatory guidelines 
  • High price of electronic stethoscopes
    • Digital stethoscopes have a high cost as compared to their analog counterparts. The ultramodern features result in high healthcare costs, lowering market penetration.
    • Due to the high cost of electronic or digital stethoscopes, these are not within reach of every small healthcare facility and hospital, hampering the market growth.

Market by Technology:

  • Electronic/Digital Stethoscopes
  • Smart Stethoscopes
  • Traditional Acoustic Stethoscopes
    • Compared to other stethoscopes, traditional acoustic stethoscopes are majorly used because they are cost effective and easy to use. 
    • Traditional acoustic stethoscopes also find application in diagnosing pulmonary and cardiac disorders and are useful in rural areas where advanced medical imaging penetration is limited.

Market by Sales Channel:

  • Distributors
    • Hospitals, clinics, etc., generally have long-term contracts and tie-ups with manufacturers and distributors, which helps distributors to expand their reach and strengthen their business.
    • By tie-up with a distributor, the end users receive the product quickly and save on consignment and other delivery costs. Therefore, the distributors’ sales channel is expected to grow rapidly over the forecast period.
  • E-Commerce
  • Direct Purchase

Market by End-User:

  • Home Healthcare
  • Hospitals
    • With the growing burden of diseases, more patients are being admitted to the hospital for treatment. This is expected to increase the demand for stethoscopes, boosting market growth. 
    • Hospitals are one of the largest consumers of stethoscopes. Due to the applications of stethoscopes in diagnosing certain disorders, these are used in hospitals. 
  • Clinics
  • Nurse Practitioners
  • EMT/First Responders

GEOGRAPHICAL STUDY

Geographical Study based on Four Major Regions: 

  • North America: The United States and Canada
    • The rising healthcare expenditure in the North American region is expected to drive market growth. According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), healthcare spending in the United States reached $4.1 trillion in 2020, about 19.7% of the country’s GDP.
    • The growing prevalence of chronic diseases is also expected to boost the regional market growth. Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death in Canada. According to Statistics Canada, more than one-fifth of Canadians in 2020 died due to heart or cerebrovascular disease.
  • Europe: The United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Norway, Denmark, and Rest of Europe
  • Asia Pacific: China, Japan, India, South Korea, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Australia & New Zealand, and Rest of Asia Pacific
