Market Introduction
Point-of-Care (POC) devices are described as medical diagnostic devices used for testing at or near the point of care, at time and place of patient care. The purpose of POCT is to provide immediate information to physicians about the patient's condition. Point-of-care data management software is a platform that is used in various locations in the hospital, in critical care settings such as the intensive care unit (ICU), the operating room (OR), and the emergency department (ED). It facilitates the patients' health data management and analysis.
Market Overview and Dynamics
The Europe point-of-care data management software market is expected to reach US$ 241.18 million by 2027 from US$ 138.54 million in 2020; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 8.2% from 2020 to 2027. The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing incidence of infectious diseases and lifestyle-related diseases, and rising product launches and development for data management. However, the high cost of point-of-care data management systems hinders the market growth.
Point-of-care (POC) data management software facilitates the patients' health data management and analysis. Also, the growth of the Europe point-of-care data management software market is likely to proceed with the help of the introduction of new products into the market, which aim to deliver inexpensive care at the facilities located at the closest-possible distances from the patients’ location. New technologies or products are being refined and improved to deliver easier-to-use devices with incremental improvements in analytical performance. Moreover, the market growth is attributed to the increasing strategies such as product innovations, mergers, and acquisitions by the key market players to expand their reach and stay competitive in the market. For instance, in March 2020, Siemens Healthineers and Marienhaus Hospital Group entered in a partnership, with an option to extend for an additional five years. Siemens Healthineers has planned for a digital strategy to interconnect 18 hospitals with Marienhaus to streamline clinical processes. The alliance may provide the replacement and management of around 130 medical imaging devices at the German states of North Rhin. Such advancements in newly launched devices would propel the overall market growth during the forecast period.
Europe has been recording the growing number of COVID-19 confirmed cases since its outbreak. Surging research activities to develop POC test kits against COVID-19 and extensive clinical research to identify effective therapies are likely to favour the growth of the Europe point-of-care data management software market. However, as per the news article, due to the outbreak, access for detection, diagnosis, and scans for thousands of cancers, diabetes, and hematology patients in Italy has become difficult. Moreover, due to ongoing impact of COVID-19 pandemic, certain software updates or launches have been rescheduled or delayed. Thus, the above-mentioned factors are hindering the growth of market in Europe.
Key Market Segments
