Global Digestible Sensors Market Size, Share, Forecast Report, 2020-2027

The global digestible sensors market is expected to gain prominence over the forecast period. It is estimated that the global digestible sensors market is expected to grow at a CAGR ~ 18.6% during the forecast period of 2016–2027. A digestible sensor is entirely made from edible materials and is activated upon ingestion. This sensor transfers medical information about a patient to the respective medical professionals to help them customize the care to the individual as well as the medical care provided to other individuals facing similar health conditions or ailments. Additionally, digestible sensors consist of a wearable patch and ingestible sensors. The growing prevalence of chronic and lifestyle diseases such as colon cancer, obesity and gastrointestinal diseases, increasing technological advancements in medical devices, and rise in demand for medication adherence products drives the growth of the global digestible sensors market. For instance, according to the American Cancer Society, in 2017, 27,150 men and 23,110 women had colorectal cancer in the US Moreover, growing aging population, increasing healthcare infrastructure, and rising use of smartphones contribute to the growth of the market.

Despite the drivers, technical and clinical complexities along with high cost associated with technologically advanced devices, and unawareness about the digestible sensors are some of the factors hindering the growth of the global digestible sensors market.
