This is expected to increase the adoption of monitoring devices to regularly monitor their condition and status, thereby propelling the growth of the studied market. For instance, according to the 2022 statistics published by UNPF, about 61% of the population living in France was aged between 15-64 years this year. In addition, as per the same source, about 21% of the population was aged 65 years.

The growing government initiatives on digitalization will lead to the development of technologically advanced patient monitoring devices, which in turn is anticipated to fuel the market growth. For instance, in October 2021, the Government of France invested EUR 650 million (USD 690 million) to accelerate the national digital health strategy as part of the Health Innovation 2030 plan. Such initiatives will provide digital patient monitoring device manufacturers a boost, resulting in the introduction of innovative patient monitoring products, thereby propelling the market growth.

Furthermore, the rising company activities in developing advanced patient monitoring devices are also contributing to the market growth. For instance, in November 2022, BIOSENCY signed a partnership with RestMed to expand its development in France. Under this partnership, RestMed distributes BIOSENCY's Bora-Care, a telemonitoring device for homecare patients with respiratory insufficiency, in France. Therefore, owing to the aforementioned factors, the studied market is expected to grow over the forecast period. However, the high cost of technology is likely to impede the growth of the patient monitoring devices market in France over the forecast period.

France Patient Monitoring Market Trends

The Neurology Segment is Expected to Show a Healthy Growth in the France Patient Monitoring Market Over the Forecast Period

The neurology segment is expected to witness significant growth in the patient monitoring market over the forecast period owing to the factors such as the rising prevalence of neurological disorders such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, dementia, and others, the need for neurological conditions to regularly monitor, and growing company activities in developing monitoring devices that help in monitoring the brain activity.

The rising burden of neurological diseases among the population is the key factor driving the demand for neuromonitoring devices. For instance, according to the Alzheimer's Association 2022, more than 1,175,000 people were living with Alzheimer's disease in 2021, and an estimated 200,000 people are diagnosed with Alzheimer's or another dementia each year in France. Thus, a high number of Alzheimer's patients in France is expected to increase the adoption of patient monitoring devices to track neurological disease conditions, hence propelling the segment's growth.

Furthermore, the increasing product launches in the county increase the availability of neuromonitoring devices in the market, which is expected to boost segment growth. For instance, in March 2022, Braintale, a French MedTech, launched the brainTale-care platform with its modules brainQuant, dedicated to white matter quantification and brainScore-coma, offering the prediction of coma recovery. This launch offers neurologists and resuscitators innovative, non-invasive, clinically verified solutions to enhance the diagnosis, monitoring, and prognosis of the progression of neurological diseases and disorders, greatly influencing the decision-making process to optimize patient treatment.

Moreover, the increasing adoption of various key business strategies among the companies, such as partnerships, agreements, and others, is expected to increase the adoption of patient monitoring devices in the hospital's neurology department, thereby boosting segment growth. For instance, in January 2021, Royal Philips entered a five-year technology and innovation partnership with France-based Rennes University Hospital supporting diagnostic, interventional imaging, and patient monitoring and management. This will help in enhancing clinical pathways and patient experience, particularly for neuro-radiology departments and intensive care units.

Therefore, owing to the factors such as the high burden of neurological diseases, rising company activities, and increasing product launches, the studied segment is expected to grow over the forecast period.

The Cardiology Segment is Expected to Have the Significant Market Share Over the Forecast Period

The cardiology segment is expected to witness a significant market share in the patient monitoring market in France over the forecast period owing to the factors such as the rising burden of cardiovascular disease, its risk-associated factors, and the growing adoption of cardiac monitoring devices. Cardiac monitoring refers to continuous or intermittent monitoring of heart activity with the assessment of the patient's condition relative to their cardiac rhythm. Additional monitoring components allow cardiovascular pressures and cardiac output to be monitored and displayed as required for patient diagnosis and treatment.

The rising prevalence of hypertension, stroke, diabetes, obesity and other cardiovascular diseases is the key factor driving the demand for cardiac patient monitoring equipment, hence bolstering segment growth.
