Electronic Skin Patches 2023-2033

This report characterizes the markets, technologies, and players in electronic skin patches. With coverage across 13 application areas, historic electronic skin patch market data from 2010-2022 and electronic skin patch market forecasts from 2023 to 2033, it is the most comprehensive study compiled for this product area. It reveals significant opportunity, with the electronic skin patch market forecast to grow to over US$27B by 2033.

 

Electronic skin patches are wearable products attached to the skin. The electronic element involves the integration of electronic functionality such as sensors, actuators, processors, and communication, allowing products to become connected and "smart". In many ways, electronic skin patches act as the ultimate wearable electronic devices, augmenting the wearer with minimal encumbrance and maximum comfort. As such, interest in electronic skin patches soared as a by-product of the significant hype and market growth around "wearables" starting in 2014.

 

However, several product types within the sector transcend this hype. Electronic skin patch product areas in diabetes management and cardiac rhythm monitoring have superseded incumbent options in established markets to create billions of dollars of new revenue each year for the companies at the forefront of this wave. However, success is not ubiquitous; each market discussed within this report sits within a unique ecosystem, with different players, drivers, limitations, and history to build on.

 

As such, the report looks at each of the application areas for electronic skin patches in turn, discussing the relevant technology, product types, competitive landscape, industry players, pricing, historic revenue, and electronic skin patch market forecasts. The areas covered include diabetes management (CGM and insulin pumps), cardiovascular monitoring devices (MCT, Holter monitors, and event monitors), general patient monitoring (both inpatient and outpatient), temperature sensing, drug and cosmetic delivery patches, electrical stimulation devices, sweat sensing, and other emerging options such as wound care, motion sensing, and more. The report also discusses manufacturing of electronic skin patches, including focus on emerging material options as well as the technology underlying the manufacturing process. The report contains historic revenue data for each of the product sectors studied back to 2010, including data by company for the larger sectors. The report also contains detailed market forecasting over 10 years for each of the key application areas.
