Stethoscope is a medical device used for listening to internal sounds of a human being such as heart and lung sounds. Stethoscope naturally has a small disc shaped resonator that is placed against the chest and two tubes are connected to earpieces. This device is also used for listening to intestines and blood flow in arteries and veins.
Increase in geriatric population has increased the demand for newly advanced stethoscope technology for the primary diagnosis of several chronic health conditions. People above 65 years of age are at a higher risk of developing chronic diseases. According to WHO, the world population aged 60 years and older is expected to reach up to 2 billion by 2050 from 900 million in 2015. This is expected to drive the market.
Furthermore, the introduction of new products, ongoing R&D by market players & universities, geographical expansion of market players, and several government initiatives are likely to boost the market during the forecast period. For instance, the Chinese government plans to expand insurance coverage by providing demand subsidies to the rural population by introducing a New Cooperative Medical Scheme to raise care cost for improved and rapid treatment.
