The vein illuminator market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 32.41% between 2016 and 2022. The growth of the market is expected to be driven by the growing aging population, pediatric applications and growing demand for high patient satisfaction level.

Out of the major end-user industries, market for hospitals is expected to grow at a high CAGR between 2016 and 2022 owing to the demand for technologically advanced medical equipment that can contribute to the increased satisfaction level of patients along with reduced discomfort. Academic institutions are expected to grow at the second-highest CAGR during the forecast period. The increased research and practical application in these institutions drives the demand for vein illuminator devices in this market. However, the prevalence of traditional methods of vein detection as well as the high cost of these devices hinders the adoption of vein illuminators.

In terms of geography, North America is expected to witness high growth in this market between 2016 and 2022 owing to the demand for highly advanced medical devices in hospitals, the presence of major vein illuminator-manufacturing companies, and increased importance of patient’s satisfaction. Asia-Pacific is expected to follow North America in terms of CAGR. High growth of vein illuminators in the region is attributed to the higher adoption of the technology by countries such as Japan and Australia. The healthcare services in these countries are technologically advanced and on par with those in North America. However, the total number of hospitals in these countries is much lesser than that in the U.S. Therefore, the rate of adoption of vein illuminators is expected to be lower than that in North America.
Among the applications for vein illuminator market, IV access is expected to hold the largest share of the market. North America is expected to hold the largest share of the IV access market because of the growing aging population and pediatric applications for IV access and blood draw. The blood draw application is expected to hold the second largest market for vein illuminator.

Among the technologies for vein illuminator market, near infrared illumination (NIR) is expected to grow at the highest CAGR between 2016 and 2022. The demand for NIR is attributed to its capability of penetrating into the biological tissue up to 3mm deep. The reduced hemoglobin in the venous blood absorbs more of this infrared radiation than the surrounding tissue and projects the image of the underlying vein pattern with greater accuracy than the other technologies. Because of the accuracy of operation, ease of handling, and cost effectiveness, NIR is expected to be preferred over transillumination and other technologies, and is, therefore, expected to hold the largest market share and grow at the highest CAGR.
