Temperature can be measured with a variety of devices in several different body locations. The most accurate body temperatures are obtained by placement of a thermister directly into the central venous or arterial blood vessels termed core temperatures, these methods for obtaining temperature are only used in critically ill patients or during operative procedures due to their invasive nature. Other, less invasive sites for temperature monitoring in hospitalized patients include oral, rectal, bladder, axillary, groin, skin, and tympanic (ear canal). Oral, rectal, axillary, groin, and tympanic site temperatures are typically measured with an electronic device. Oral and axillary site temperatures can also be measured with a single-use, heat-sensitive, chemical-strip temperature device. Skin temperatures can also be measured by use of a liquid crystal adhesive strip or dot that is placed on the skin
The global disposable thermometer market is categorized based on type and target area.
By type: The mercury-based thermometers was the largest market in 2020. They were widely used in home settings due to COVID-19, thus generating significant revenue in 2020. Also their low-cost and ease of use are expected to propel the growth.
By target area: The oral segment was the largest market in 2020, due to various advantages offered by them, such as lesser maintenance, user-friendliness and better valuation of core body temperatures.
The global disposable thermometer market is expected to show lucrative growth in India. The Indian medical device market proposes a great prospect not only of its size, but also due to promising guidelines and regulations that the Government has announced to give a boost to the medical device industry. For example, the government has revamped the regulatory structure for medical device in 2017 and has gotten it in line with global norms by hosting the idea of ‘risk-based’ directive. The regulatory permits issued for import, production or trade of medical devices have been made perpetual in nature to simplify on needless and laborious paper-work, in an attempt to surge affluence of doing business in India.
