The semiconductor in the healthcare market is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 10.2% during the forecast period (2021 - 2026). The collaboration and integration of semiconductor electronics with medical/healthcare applications are proliferating, focusing on patient centricity. Conventional techniques of diagnosis and resultant therapies are becoming less invasive and more effective. Intelligent, connected portable devices keep patients out of hospitals and monitored in the comfort of their own homes (telemonitoring). Semiconductor technology has an essential role in these innovations.

- Application-specific Integrated Circuit (IC) is used nowadays in implantable medical devices, which can supply therapy for several conditions such as pain management, epilepsy, psychological disorders. A medical IC can be used in devices programmed to deliver drugs on a more productive way to effectively treat and relieve patient conditions with very few side effects.

- The upcoming trend of patient care is moving away from hospitals and clinics and into homes. As home care can help enhance efficiency and lower costs incurred by doctors, the healthcare providers and hospitals are using this. This process can be accelerated by portable medical electronics technology. Some of the components used in portable home-based and consumer medical devices are Bio-sensors or bio transducers, Power management: system power control, and power sequencing. Microcontrollers, all of which extensively use semiconductors.

- Also, the increasing number of people suffering from diabetes is significantly supporting the growth of semiconductors in healthcare. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 422 million people have diabetes worldwide, and the number is increasing, leading to an increase in the sales of a glucometer. The demand for digital and electronic devices in the healthcare sector has been a huge factor that has impacted and supported market growth. For instance, In February 2020, UNC School of Medicine and MIT developed a smart insulin-delivery patch that could one day monitor and manage glucose levels in diabetics and deliver the necessary insulin dosage.

- Further, the growing aging population, as a result of increased life expectancy rates across regions, creates a scope for medical device manufacturers. The advent of novel products, due to advancements in biopharmaceutical and biology, supported by the requirements for better compliance, is expected to further drive the growth of the market.
- Additionally, The spread of COVID-19 has helped in aiding market growth. This is because of the increased use of infrared thermometer and oximeters, which are non-invasive methods for monitoring temperature and oxygen saturation levels. Countries like India have made it mandatory to COVID-19 cases in home isolation to record their oxygen saturation levels daily with pulse oximeters. The cost of oximeters has also seen a rapid decline in the country, leading to market growth.
