Healthcare is a prominent user of the liquid-filled and the digital thermometers for the measurement of body temperature. With the growth in healthcare facilities, the demand is only set to increase in the future.”

According to the report, one driver in the market is growing number of disease outbreaks and medical conditions. Disease outbreak is the prevalence of a disease beyond the normal rate in a specific community, region, or season. A disease outbreak can be caused by the spread of a communicable disease or a new infection caused by a bacterium or virus. Disease outbreaks are a major healthcare concern today. In 2016, the major disease outbreaks were the Zika virus disease, smallpox, human monkeypox, and Ebola virus disease.

Further, the report states that one challenge in the market is high cost of digital and infrared thermometer. The thermometer is one of the most common medical devices used in home healthcare and hospitals, to measure the body temperature. It is commonly used during health check-ups or for the maintenance of patient data during a treatment period. It is also used in the food and beverage industry and the pharmaceutical and biotechnology research industry. Due to the increased use of the thermometer in various industries, the availability and price of the product get affected, which impact product purchase.
