The global stethoscope market is anticipated to witness a growth of steady CAGR in the forecast period, 2023-2027. This can be ascribed to increasing incidences of various communicable and non-communicable diseases wherein a stethoscope is used by healthcare professionals for diagnosis purposes.

The majority of cardiovascular diseases are associated with the type of sound the heart produces, thereby increasing the demand for stethoscopes. The advent of technologically advanced stethoscopes has paved the way for accurate and immediate diagnosis, thereby driving market growth.
