Demand for Thermometer and Impact of COVID-19……..
The global thermometer
market size is expected to reach a value of USD 1.5 billion by 2025, based on a new
report by Grand View Research, Inc. Growing number of medical conditions
requiring accurate measurement of body temperature for deciding the treatment
options is expected to enhance demand for thermometers over the forecast
period. High prevalence of diseases such as malaria, swine flu, and dengue,
which can be diagnosed primarily by observing body temperature is estimated to
provide potential growth opportunities for this market in developing countries.
Ever since the outbreak of the novel
coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the demand for non-contact infra-red
thermometers for body temperature routine check has witnessed a tremendous
surge. The emergence of smart thermometers used in tracking the spreading
fevers helps in observing the pandemic level. Kinsa, a healthtech company has a
network of smart thermometers in the U.S. We are working to account for this
surge in our estimates. The updated report will account for Covid-19 as a key
market contributor.
In addition, requirement for
maintenance of an environment of specific temperature in various industries
such as food, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals is another high rendering driver
resulting in increasing demand for digital and infrared temperature measuring
devices. Development of devices with technological advancements for accurately
measuring minute temperature differences is expected to be a growth booster for
this industry. For instance, the Exergen TAT-2000C can be used to measure body
temperature by just rolling the device tip over the child’s forehead.
Some of the key players of this industry
include A&D Medical (LifeSource); Opto Circuits (India) Limited; Exergen
Corporation; Microlife Corporation; Omron Healthcare, Inc.; RADIANT INNOVATION
INC.; Geratherm Medical AG; TERUMO CORPORATION; Citizen Systems; and Welch
Allyn. Introduction of innovative and cost-effective alternatives are the key
strategies implemented by the key players to survive competition and gain
maximum share.

Further Key Findings from the Study Suggest:
·
The mercury-based thermometers
segment dominated the overall market in 2016 in terms of revenue share owing to
factors such as growing demand for accuracy in temperature measurement and ease
in handling
·
Digital thermometers held more
than one-third of the thermometer market share in 2016 in the mercury-free
segment due to benefits such as cost-effectiveness, easier analysis of
temperature to a tenth of a degree, and beep indication after temperature
fluctuations
·
Other types of mercury-free
thermometers such as disposable ones, temperature strips, and gas thermometers
are expected to be fastest growing and are collectively expected to grow at a
lucrative CAGR
·
In term of applications,
medical fields including hospital, clinics, and primary healthcare centers
dominated the overall market in terms of revenue share as of 2016
·
On the other hand, the
industrial application segment is expected to showcase lucrative growth over
the forecast period as pharmaceutical, chemical, and biotechnology industries
require specific temperature maintenance during various stages of product
development
·
To avoid contamination and
degradation of food & beverages and retain the quality of
temperature-sensitive eatables, maintenance of a specific temperature is
required. Thus, thermometers have applications in the food industry too
·
Increasing number of
health-conscious consumers, established healthcare infrastructure, and
increasing demand for disposable thermometers are the key factors attributing
for highest revenue generation of the North American region
·
The Asia Pacific regional
market is expected to register significant growth over the forecast period with
CAGR of 8.3% owing to emerging economies, growing base of target population,
and growing concern for personal health
·
Some of the key players in this
industry include Exergen Corporation, Omron Healthcare, Inc.; TERUMO
CORPORATION, Citizen Systems, 3M (Nexcare), Innovo Medical, RADIANT INNOVATION
INC., Good Neighbor Pharmacy, and Fairhaven Health, LLC.
Moreover,
cost-effective and accurate alternatives are available for mercury-based
thermometers. Increasing demand for disposable thermometers and availability of
technologically advanced products such as basal thermometers that can provide
accurate readings within 1/10th of a degree and resistance thermometers that
can measure the temperatures as high as 1,000 degrees are estimated to boost
thermometer market growth.
There
has been a gradual increase in the adoption of mercury-free temperature
monitoring devices worldwide over the past few years. The United States
Environmental Protection Agency is involved in spreading awareness about the
harmful effects of mercury in the environment through various initiatives such
as the mercury pollution prevention program, which is fueling the higher
adoption for newer range of mercury-free temperature monitoring devices.
The thermometer industry is
estimated to grow over the forecast period mainly due to increasing
applications for temperature control in various fields. The market comprises
various types of temperature monitoring devices such as mercury-based and
mercury-free.
