Market Overview: The global portable medical devices market has evolved rapidly due to advancements in miniaturization, connectivity, and artificial intelligence (AI). The market is categorized into diagnostic, therapeutic, and monitoring devices, with each segment witnessing robust demand.
• In 2024, the market size stood at US$ 68.9 billion, primarily driven by demand in North America and Western Europe.
• By 2035, the market is anticipated to reach US$ 186.1 billion, reflecting growing adoption in Asia-Pacific, especially in China and India.
North America currently holds 38.5% of the total market share, attributed to its advanced healthcare infrastructure, favorable reimbursement policies, and strong R&D presence. However, Asia-Pacific is projected to be the fastest-growing region due to an expanding patient base, increased healthcare spending, and government initiatives supporting digital health.

Key Drivers of Market Growth

1. Growing Adoption of Wearable Health Technologies
Wearable medical devices-ranging from fitness trackers to smartwatches-have redefined personal healthcare. They continuously monitor vital signs such as heart rate, oxygen saturation, and activity levels, allowing both users and physicians to make data-driven health decisions.

For instance, in June 2025, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced a national campaign under the "Making America Healthy Again (MAHA)" initiative, encouraging citizens to adopt wearable devices for continuous monitoring of pulse, glucose levels, and overall fitness.
This movement aligns with a broader global trend: integrating preventive care with lifestyle management. As consumer awareness rises, wearable technologies are becoming essential tools in early disease detection and chronic condition management.

2. Expanding Geriatric Population
According to the World Health Organization, the global population aged 60 years and above reached 1 billion in 2020, and is expected to double to 2.1 billion by 2050.
Older adults are more prone to chronic diseases such as cardiovascular ailments, diabetes, and respiratory disorders-conditions that require continuous monitoring. Portable medical devices empower elderly individuals to manage their health from home, reducing the burden on hospitals while enhancing quality of life.

3. Technological Advancements and AI Integration
AI, Internet of Things (IoT), and wireless connectivity are key enablers of next-generation portable devices. These technologies allow real-time data analytics, predictive healthcare insights, and seamless communication between patients and healthcare providers.
For instance, the U.S. FDA continues to support AI-enabled device innovations through initiatives like the AI-Enabled Medical Device List, which helps identify cleared AI-powered systems for safer and faster patient care.
