Market Overview

The global portable digital thermometers market size is estimated at 6.2 Billion USD with a CAGR of 9.2% during the forecasted period from 2021-2028. Digital thermometers offers the fastest and most accurate results in measuring temperature. Available in many shapes and sizes, they can be found at a variety of locations such as department stores and pharmacies. Digital thermometers are becoming progressively popular in comparison to a liquid thermometer and they provide better accuracy and ease of use. Digital thermometers are more accurate, give temperature readings within seconds, are safe to handle as it does not use mercury, and have sturdy manufacturing. This features of portable digital thermometers are primarily driving the growth of the global market. According to the Help & Save Yourself Organization, today, it is estimated that over 75% of all people around the globe use a digital thermometer. In addition, growing demand for thermometers in the healthcare industry, owing to the rising incidences of viral fevers such as malaria, dengue, zika fever, COVID-19 and others particularly in the emerging economies are fueling the market growth significantly. According to the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, each year, approximately 210 million people are infected with malaria, and about 440,000 people die from the disease. Most of the people who die from the disease are young children in Africa. Hence, an early diagnosis with a digital thermometer allows patients to rectify the body temperature, proceeding them to further treatments that will save their life. Additionally, manufacturers are developing digital thermometers with memory feature that has the ability to keep data from previous temperature checks, which is perfect because one can easily keep a good record of how the user’s fever has been behaving over a couple of days or weeks. Furthermore, rising adoption of digital thermometers in numerous end-use industries is expected to further drive the market in the coming future.On the other hand, accuracy issues with skin thermometers are likely to hamper the portable digital thermometers market.
