The pressure ulcer detection device market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $1.51 billion in 2025 to $1.58 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising incidence of pressure ulcers among immobile and geriatric patients, increasing awareness of early detection to reduce treatment costs, early adoption of surface electrodes and mattress-based pressure monitoring systems, expansion of hospital and nursing home prevention programs, growing clinical emphasis on pressure injury risk assessment protocols.
The pressure ulcer detection device market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.87 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for continuous real-time pressure monitoring technologies, increasing uptake of wearable and in-shoe pressure sensor devices, growing utilization of sem scanners for early-stage ulcer identification, expanding use of detection devices in homecare and remote care environments, rising focus on outcome-based care and complication reduction in high-risk patient populations. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of sem scanners and tissue monitoring devices for early pressure ulcer detection, increasing utilization of pressure measuring mattresses in hospital and long-term care settings, growing use of in-shoe and wearable pressure sensors for foot ulcer prevention, expansion of continuous pressure monitoring solutions across homecare and nursing facilities, increasing clinical focus on stage-based assessment and prevention of pressure ulcers.
The increasing prevalence of diabetes is anticipated to drive the growth of the pressure ulcer detection device market. Diabetes, a long-term metabolic condition characterized by high blood glucose, poses a serious risk to various body systems over time, including the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nerves. Diabetic individuals face an elevated risk of developing pressure ulcers due to factors such as neuropathy and poor circulation. Pressure ulcer detection devices play a crucial role in identifying early signs of pressure-related skin damage, aiding healthcare professionals in preventing the development of pressure ulcers in individuals with diabetes. For instance, a January 2023 report by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), a Belgium-based diabetes association, projected a 25% increase in the prevalence of diabetes by 2030 and a 51% increase by 2045. Therefore, the rising prevalence of diabetes is a key driver for the pressure ulcer detection device market.
Major companies operating in the pressure ulcer detection device market are emphasizing technological advancements, such as AI-enabled infrared spectrographic decision support systems, to enhance patient outcomes and reduce the risk of complications. AI-driven infrared spectrographic systems combine handheld optical sensing, real-time tissue assessment, and predictive analytics to detect subdermal pressure damage with high accuracy, minimizing dependence on visual examination and enabling earlier clinical action. For example, in July 2023, IR-MED Inc., a US-based medical technology company, introduced PressureSafe, an innovative handheld medical device that utilizes infrared optical spectroscopy integrated with artificial intelligence to support early identification of pressure injuries. Intended for point-of-care application, PressureSafe provides a non-invasive, skin tone-independent evaluation method that can accurately detect pressure ulcers at early stages, including suspected deep tissue injuries. Clinical studies have shown strong performance, with sensitivity levels of approximately 92% to 94% and specificity near 88%, allowing healthcare professionals to identify and address pressure injuries promptly and helping reduce overall incidence rates by as much as 50%.
In March 2023, Syst'Am, a France-based medical equipment company, acquired Jarven Health Care Oy for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition enhances Syst'am's position in the anti-decubitus prevention and care devices market. Additionally, it accelerates Järven's commercial expansion while maintaining its unique identity, positioning it as an optimal choice in the field. Jarven Health Care Oy, based in Sweden, specializes in manufacturing medical equipment for the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers.

The countries covered in the pressure ulcer detection device market report are Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Taiwan, Russia, South Korea, UK, USA, Canada, Italy, Spain.
Tariffs are impacting the pressure ulcer detection device market by increasing import and component costs for sensors, electronic modules, wireless transmitters, textiles, and foam materials used in sem scanners, surface electrodes, in-shoe sensors, and pressure measuring mattresses, which has raised manufacturing and procurement expenses across hospital, nursing home, and homecare segments. The effects are more visible in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific regions that rely on cross-border sourcing of monitoring hardware and disposable sensor components for stage 1-4 ulcer detection applications. These higher landed costs have contributed to pricing pressure and delayed equipment upgrades in budget-sensitive care facilities; however, tariffs are also encouraging localized assembly, regional supplier development, and near-shoring initiatives that create selective positive outcomes for domestic device manufacturers.

A pressure ulcer detection device is a medical tool created to monitor and identify the presence of pressure ulcers, also known as bedsores or pressure sores. Pressure ulcers develop when prolonged pressure is applied to a specific area of the body. These detection devices play a crucial role in healthcare settings by aiding in the prevention, early detection, and management of pressure ulcers. They contribute to better patient care, reduced healthcare costs, and improved outcomes for individuals at risk of developing these skin injuries.
The main product types of pressure ulcer detection devices include in-shoe sensors, surface electrodes, SEM (Skin and Tissue Assessment Monitoring Scanner) scanners, and pressure-measuring mattresses. In-shoe sensors are specialized devices or sensor systems designed to be placed inside a shoe, collecting data related to foot movement, pressure distribution, and gait dynamics. These devices find applications in different stages of pressure ulcers (Stage 1, Stage 2, Stage 3, and Stage 4) and are used by various end-users, including hospitals, nursing homes, home care settings, and others.
The pressure ulcer detection device market consists of sales of thermographic imaging system, wearable pressure sensors, and surface pressure mapping systems. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.
The market value is defined as the revenues that enterprises gain from the sale of goods and/or services within the specified market and geography through sales, grants, or donations in terms of the currency (in USD unless otherwise specified).
