The rise in prevalence of high/low blood pressure is attributed to a geriatric population, sedentary lifestyle, lack of physical activity and rising stress. It is estimated that people above the age of 55 years have 90% risk of developing high blood pressure. The global blood pressure monitoring testing market was valued at USD 1,713.3 million in 2012 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.5% from 2013 to 2019, to reach an estimated value of USD 3,661.3 million by 2019. Social, behavioral and metabolic factors determine and contribute to hypertension. Behavioral risk factors such as physical inactivity, unhealthy diet, consumption of alcohol and tobacco, increase the risk of hypertension.

Manufacturers are coming up with new and innovative digital blood pressure monitoring devices that are easy to use and provide accurate readings instantly. The digital sphygmomanometers market is expected to grow at a faster rate compared to other types of sphygmomanometers (mercury and aneroid) as they are easy to use and provide accurate results. The trend of regular monitoring is fast catching up, with patients opting for automated self-care, thus making use of personal monitoring devices. Currently, majority of the automated blood pressure monitoring devices available are based on the oscillometric method that gives accurate results, along with ease of use.
