A sensor patch is a wearable electronic device that sticks to the skin to continuously monitor physiological parameters such as heart rate, temperature, or glucose levels. These patches contain embedded sensors that gather real-time health data, which can be sent to external devices for analysis and medical purposes. Their primary goal is to offer real-time, non-invasive health information for monitoring and managing medical conditions or overall wellness.
The main types of sensor patches include temperature sensor patches, blood glucose sensor patches, blood pressure or flow sensor patches, heart rate sensor patches, electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor patches, blood oxygen sensor patches, and others. A temperature sensor patch is a wearable device that adheres to the skin and continuously tracks body temperature, providing real-time data for health monitoring or medical use. These patches can be worn on various body parts, including the wrist, foot, neck, or other locations. They are utilized for monitoring, diagnostics, and treatment, serving a wide range of end-users such as fitness enthusiasts, healthcare providers, athletes, and others.
The sensor patch market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides sensor patch market statistics, including the sensor patch industry's global market size, regional shares, competitors with the sensor patch market share, detailed sensor patch market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the sensor patch market. This sensor patch market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The sensor patch market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $4.13 billion in 2024 to $6.01 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 45.7%. This increase during the historical period was driven by a rise in chronic diseases, heightened awareness about continuous health monitoring, expanded use of remote patient monitoring technologies, a growing elderly population, and an increased emphasis on preventive healthcare.
The sensor patch market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $26.87 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 45.4%. The anticipated growth during the forecast period is supported by escalating demand for healthcare solutions delivered at home, an increase in lifestyle-related health conditions, wider adoption of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), a rising need for contactless and remote diagnostic methods, and greater acceptance of digital health platforms. Key trends during this period include advancements in biocompatible materials, progress in non-invasive biomarker detection, enhanced integration with mobile health applications, innovations in self-healing materials, the combination of multiple sensing technologies, and deeper incorporation into telehealth systems.
The increasing adoption of telehealth is expected to drive growth in the sensor patch market moving forward. Telehealth involves using digital communication technologies to provide healthcare services and information remotely. This growing adoption stems from the rising need for continuous remote patient monitoring, which enables early detection of health issues and reduces the frequency of in-person visits. Sensor patches support telehealth by providing real-time, non-invasive health monitoring, making them well-suited for remote care and managing chronic diseases. By continuously transmitting vital data, these patches decrease the need for frequent clinic visits, improving healthcare accessibility and patient outcomes. For example, the Australian Digital Health Agency reported that from March 2020 to July 2022, over 95,000 practitioners used telehealth services, which delivered 118.2 million telehealth sessions to 18 million patients. Hence, the growing use of telehealth is fueling the expansion of the sensor patch market.
Leading companies in the sensor patch market are concentrating on creating innovative devices such as lightweight, adhesive sensors to improve comfort and enable continuous health monitoring. These lightweight, adhesive devices are compact sensors designed to securely attach to the skin for comfortable, ongoing health tracking. For instance, in 2023, US-based software developer VivaLNK Inc. launched a 14-day live stream wearable electrocardiogram (ECG) patch. This medical device continuously monitors heart activity for up to 14 days, delivering real-time cardiac data streaming. It tracks multiple parameters, including heart rate, respiratory rate, and skin temperature, and has a robust onboard memory to ensure uninterrupted data recording even during network interruptions. The patch is compact, reusable, water-resistant, and integrates smoothly with mobile and clinical applications to support remote patient monitoring and advanced arrhythmia detection.
In May 2023, US healthcare technology company Medtronic plc. acquired EOFlow Co. Ltd. for $738 million. Through this acquisition, Medtronic intends to broaden its capabilities in addressing the needs of more people with diabetes by combining EOFlow's wearable insulin patch with its own advanced technologies. This integration aims to simplify diabetes management and provide more choices for patients. EOFlow Co. Ltd., based in South Korea, specializes in developing sensor patches, particularly wearable biosensor patches for health monitoring.
