Asia-Pacific and Europe Region Present Best Growth Opportunities for Smart Pills Technologies Market

Nov 8 2013

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Smart Pills Technologies Market (2012-2017) (Diagnostic imaging, patient monitoring, drug delivery)" report to their offering.

Gastro-Intestinal (GI) disorders are becoming more prevalent in our day to day life owing changing lifestyles, dietary habits and aging population. The effective therapeutics and sources or unknown causes of bleeding for some of the GI disorders are still an enigma to the medical industry due to lack of effective medical devices that reach the contours of small intestine. Although there are flexible endoscopes, they still cause discomfort to the patients due to insertion of wired tube into the body. The advancements in the field of medical science and technology and the emergence of micro and nanotechnology have paved the way for miniaturized wireless capsule endoscopes, also called as capsule endoscopes. These micro capsules can also be used for site-specific drug delivery and effective patient monitoring. This novel approach, enabled by Bio-MEMS is called as Smart Pills. This technology is not only comfortable for patients, but also enables the healthcare providers to take on-time remedical action effectively.

The best growth opportunities for Smart Pills are in the Asia-Pacific and Europe region, whereas mature North American and West European markets are predictable to register a modest growth. In mature markets such as the U.S., Western Europe, growth will be driven more by a shift towards non- invasive devices by physicians and patients. Presence of high density population and growing healthcare awareness drives the smart pills market in Asia-Pacific and Middle-East region.
