Market is driven by several key factors, including increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, growing demand for home healthcare devices, increasing focus on patient safety and comfort and technological advancements in the patient scales. Mechanical scales were effective at measuring weight, they had several limitations. Mechanical scales were susceptible to inaccuracies caused by wear and tear, temperature changes, and gravitational variations.

Introduction of digital patient scales marked a significant improvement over mechanical scale. Digital scales use electronic components to measure weight, which provides a more accurate and reliable reading. These scales typically feature a digital display that shows the patient's weight, and some models have additional features such as BMI calculation and data storage capabilities. For example, Detecto is a US-based company that has been producing medical scales for over a century. Detecto's digital patient scales feature easy-to-read displays, automatic zeroing functions, and weight hold features that allow for accurate measurements even if the patient is moving.

Market is a growing sector of the healthcare industry that offers a variety of devices used to monitor patients' weight in clinical and home settings. Patient scales are critical instruments for measuring a patient's health, medication dosages, and nutritional status. For example, Pfizer, a global pharmaceutical company, has conducted clinical trials that use patient scales to measure the weight of study participants and adjust medication dosages accordingly and Sodexo, a global provider of food and facilities management services, offers dietitian services to healthcare facilities and uses patient scales to assess their client’s nutritional status. The global market is anticipated to expand steadily in the coming years, owing to factors such as rising demand for precise and dependable patient monitoring, rising healthcare expenditure, and an ageing population.
