Philips and GE Healthcare Lead the Australia Patient Monitoring Equipment Market due to the Adoption of Less-Invasive, More Accessible, Patient-Centric Device Configurations

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 25, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- According to a new series of reports on the Australia market for patient monitoring equipment by iData Research (www.idataresearch.com), some hospitals in the region cannot afford high-cost monitoring platforms due to budget constraints. Additionally, reimbursement cuts are resulting in rapid average selling price declines. This lack of reimbursement has resulted in low growth for many of the patient monitoring market segments in Australia.

"In order to mitigate these market declines, the adoption of less-invasive, more accessible, patient-centric monitoring devices are helping alleviate pressure associated with budgetary constraints across the care continuum," explains Kamran Zamanian, CEO at iData Research. "For example, emphasis is being placed on patient comfort and mobility across lower-acuity care settings, wherein gaps in monitoring are further filled with wireless portable solutions."

Despite increasing unit sales, increased competitiveness within the total patient monitoring market has had a negative impact on market growth. The entry of low cost foreign competition has been especially disruptive. However, the long-term prospects remain positive as demand for quality patient monitoring solutions will enable unit sales growth to outpace pricing pressure.

Philips Healthcare is the leading competitor in the Australian patient monitoring market. The company competes in the multi-parameter vital sign monitoring market, wireless telemetry, pulse oximetry and fetal/neonatal monitoring markets. Their IntelliVue™ and SureSigns™ product lines range from low to high-acuity and have flexible product designs ranging from extremely compact to portable bedside units.

GE Healthcare is the second leading competitor in the Australian patient monitoring market. GE offers an extensive product line that not only includes a range of low- to high-acuity monitoring devices, but also telemetry devices and networking solutions. Their product lines include the CARESCAPE™ B series and new B40™ patient monitors which can feed into the CARESCAPE™ central stations and mobile viewers to access patient information. Additional competitors in the Australia patient monitoring market include Dräger Medical, Medtronic, Mindray, Nihon Kohden, Natus Medical, Compumedics, Welch Allyn, Spacelabs Healthcare, Nonin and Smiths Medical among others.
