Patient monitoring systems, especially those in high acuity areas, are very well developed and have become an indispensable part of hospitals across Europe. Despite certain segments being on a course of high growth, the patient monitoring systems markets overall are at a mature phase. Also as the global economic meltdown begins to affect the purchasing powers of European hospitals, vendors are left with little resources to invest upon research and development.

Highlights of the briefing include analyses of: high acuity systems market sizing, long term and short term effects of economic meltdown on the market and growth rate projections.

This briefing will benefit original equipment manufacturers, developers and distributors of monitors used in Intensive care units , operating rooms, recovery rooms, induction rooms and central station monitors by discussing emerging trends and providing forward projections and recommendations for the European high acuity areas monitors market.

“Market leaders have a range of products, which they can bundle and sell at a cheaper price,” notes Frost & Sullivan Research Associate Gideon Praveen Kumar. “With financial recession setting in, manufacturers that produce low-cost monitors can build strategic alliances with other medical equipment manufacturers, including manufacturers of anaesthesia machines, ventilators and diagnostic equipment as the hospitals prefer to buy products as a package that typically come with lower price tags,” explains Kumar.
