Clinical Alarm Management Industry

The global clinical alarm management market size was estimated at USD 2.13 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.0% from 2024 to 2030. Growing cases of alarm fatigue and the need for cost-containment are the factors expected to boost market growth. Furthermore, prolonged hospital stays coupled with technological advancements in this sector and rising prevalence of various chronic diseases are most likely to fuel market growth. Increasing cases of alarm fatigue are expected to boost the demand for alarm management solutions as well as services. Alarm fatigue is a significant concern in healthcare, leading to excessive non-actionable alarms that can compromise patient safety.

The Making Health Care Safer (MHCS) reports from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) emphasize implementing safety culture elements, risk assessments, and training to reduce alarm burden and improve overall patient care. Owing to false alarms, the true alarms that are supposed to alert clinicians of the real problems with patients are ignored sometimes. This drives the demand for such solutions. Various benefits of alarm management solutions are also likely to increase their demand, which will support market growth.
