Market Overview

Instantaneous Results are Key Advantage of Blood Gas Analysers and Monitors


Across Europe, an increasing number of patients require blood gas analysers and monitors systems. Blood gas analysers are primarily used in hospital laboratories and other medical institutions. They are used to analyse the patient's blood for the presence of different blood gas parameters and electrolytes such as creatinine and bicarbonates. With recent advances in technology, several blood gas analyser systems have been devised that can also be used in point-of-care applications. Meanwhile, demand for blood gas monitors is also poised for growth, as several of these systems are non-invasive. Currently, the market for these monitors has a high penetration rate due to products such as pulse oximeters, capnography systems and other monitoring equipment. These systems are used in critical care units, anaesthesia and emergency rooms. The markets are also witnessing the increasing growth of multi-parameter monitoring equipment.

"Overall, the most significant factor driving growth in the blood gas analysers and monitors markets is the need for doctors and medical professionals to have immediate results by the patient’s bedside," notes the analyst of this research service. "With the increasing use of ambulatory and portable devices, there is need for the results of the measured parameters to be displayed at the bedside. Thus, the growing need for immediate bedside results, coupled with the rising patient population in Europe has led to the increasing penetration of blood gas monitors and analysers." As these devices provide instantaneous results, doctors prefer to use them in critical and emergency situations instead of relying on traditional laboratory testing equipment. Laboratory tests that require about 30 minutes for the results to be obtained are no longer relied upon. Today, point-of-care devices are being manufactured that provide results instantaneously, in a matter of a few seconds.

Identification of New Applications Essential for Market Success

At present, regulatory hurdles pose a challenge to the growth of the markets. "Each country has a distinct technique of purchasing equipment and this disparity can be overcome with countries adopting uniform laws," explains the analyst. "Moreover, hospitals in Europe tend to be brand conscious and with the presence of several established local participants, combating competition will be a significant challenge for new entrants.

While the markets are fairly mature, developments in technology have played a major role in improving the penetration of these systems. In the future too, increased market penetration can be obtained only through innovative products and effective marketing strategies. Market participants will need to focus on pro-active marketing of technologically advanced and user-friendly products to increase their market share. In addition, market success will rely on the identification of new areas and applications. Recognising the research areas or medical specialties that offer immense potential, such as greater use in ambulatory purposes, will help in designing suitable products.
