According to Straits Research, the global connected medical device market size was valued at $72.49 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $255.57 billion by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 15.07% during the forecast period 2026–2034.
The global connected medical device market is primarily growing due to rising telehealth adoption, chronic disease prevalence, technological advancements, aging population needs, and demand for real-time remote patient monitoring. In addition, regulatory approvals act as a major catalyst in the connected medical device market, ensuring patient safety, credibility, and faster adoption. The latest update reveals that by May 2025, the FDA had authorized approximately 1,200 AI-enabled medical devices, with about 78% dedicated to radiology innovations. The agency is also planning a novel initiative to tag devices utilizing foundation models, like large language models (LLMs). Such streamlined approval frameworks globally enhance trust, accelerate commercialization, and encourage continuous innovation in connected medical technologies.Moreover, the rise of telemedicine and remote patient monitoring is unlocking major opportunities for connected medical devices, as healthcare shifts toward more accessible and cost-effective models. These technologies enable continuous monitoring, timely interventions, and reduced hospital strain. For instance, in March 2025, Saudi Arabia’s Seha Virtual Hospital was named the world’s largest, linking 224 hospitals to deliver 44 specialized services virtually. This milestone underscores how connected devices can scale innovative care models and strengthen patient-centric healthcare globally.
