Clinical Alarm Management Market
The Covid-19 pandemic has threated to overwhelm the healthcare system in most countries across the globe. As a result, digitisation in the healthcare sectors, which was earlier thought to be a luxury that was limited to developed countries and private healthcare providers that catered to high-income clients, has gained traction across the board. Even developing countries like India, Indonesia, Bangladesh and several others have unveiled and executed digitisation programmes for their huge populations. Concurrently, public and private spending towards healthcare has also grown substantially since the outbreak of the pandemic in early 2020. All these factors have meant that the demand for clinical alarm management systems has seen a big spurt.
Previous estimates had projected a strong growth trajectory for the market in relatively prosperous countries in North America, the Asia-Pacific and Western Europe. However, these projections have been altered and nearly all regional segments will see previously unprecedented growth rates. Furthermore, these growth rates are now likely to be determined by the absolute value of investments in healthcare delivery programmes as opposed to relative prosperity. At the same time, certain developing trends can also lead to unforeseen challenges for sales and distribution of clinical alarm management systems.
Key among these are supply chain distributions that are being witnessed around the globe, and especially those being caused by increasing protectionist policies in certain countries that are aiming to boost their internal economies. Given that technology protectionism is a key area of concern for several countries, the dynamics of clinical alarm management system distribution may see acute changes. At the same time, given the high levels of technology dependency in existence currently, such protectionism may be unrealistic to achieve. These trends are leading to some uncertainly for prominent market players despite all the positive indications.
