A recent study conducted by the strategic consulting and market research firm BlueWeave Consulting revealed that the global optical sensors market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7% during the forecast period 2022-2028. The market is flourishing owing to factors such as the increasing production of smartphones and other electronic items, such as smartwatches, Fitbit, etc. Furthermore, the rising demand for health monitoring devices is also influencing the growth of the optical sensors market in the medical industry. However, the presence of low-cost alternatives of optical sensors may act as a huge restraining factor for the global optical sensors market growth during the forecast period.

Increasing Integration in Healthcare Devices Propelling the Global Optical Sensors Market Forward

The rising demand for remote patient monitoring devices, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, is presenting lucrative growth opportunities for the global optical sensors market. Health devices, such as pulse oximeters, heart rate monitoring devices, etc., use optical sensors to track a patient’s vitals. This type of optimized sensor is used in hospitals, laboratories, and portable equipment to detect media and cartridges, as well as fluid levels and contamination. Such applications are anticipated to fuel the growth of the optical sensors market during the forecast period.

Rising Research and Development Activities is Anticipated to Provide Lucrative Growth Opportunities to the Market

Despite significant developments, the global optical sensors market is said to be very rudimentary. Therefore, the research institutes are significantly focusing on exploring the wider potential of optical sensors, which is projected to drive market growth during the forecast period. For instance, an international team led by the Biophotonics@Tyndall group at Ireland's Tyndall National Institute (TNI) devised a new strategy for integrating optical sensing into orthopaedic surgical devices, published in the Journal of Biomedical Optics (JBO) journal.
