Southeast Asia's Medical Wearable Devices Market Expected to Grow 21.46% to Reach USD Million by 2033, According to UnivDatos

Key Highlights of the Report:

• The Southeast Asia of the medical wearable devices business is experiencing a boom due to the increased number of chronic diseases, the use of remote monitoring, and the growing number of applications of wearables in various hospitals to provide healthcare services both in the community and in the personal sector.

• Wearables and cardiology apps remain the leading sources of revenues in the market, whereas therapeutic wearables and diabetes management apps will record the most significant growth rates in connection with the growing preventive care and long-term disease management initiatives.

• Competitive intensity is on the rise with the increased presence of the global medical device manufacturers and the regional digital health players with localized product offerings, technology differentiation, and extended distribution and service networks in the key Southeast Asian countries.

• Wearable device providers, telehealth platforms, hospitals, and cloud service providers are forming strategic alliances to penetrate markets faster with the potential to institutionalize the models of care, clinical decisions guided by data, and scalable remote monitoring models.

• The investment activity is robust, and Southeast Asia can be viewed as an area with high potential for the development of medical wearable technologies due to the presence of government-sponsored digital health programs, increasing interest in venture capital, and rising demand levels in affordable and clinically-proven wearable solutions.

According to a new report by UnivDatos the Southeast Asia Medical Wearable Devices Market is expected to reach USD Million in 2033 by growing at a CAGR of 21.46% during the forecast period (2025- 2033F). The Southeast Asian medical wearable devices market is driven by the growing burden of chronic illness, an aging population, and the need to develop cost-effective healthcare delivery models. The growth of telehealth solutions, the high rate of smartphone adoption, and improved internet connectivity are increasing the use of wearables, particularly for remote patient management. Also, the market growth is further increased by government programs that support the digitalization of healthcare and preventive care. Moreover, the growing understanding among patients and clinicians of the benefits of continuous monitoring is moving wearables out of the wellness field and into primary care.

On October 14, 2025, the Member States of the WHO South-East Asia Region adopted the Colombo Declaration on ‘Healthy ageing through strengthened primary health care’, aimed at the health and well-being of its ageing population, expected to double by 2050.

Driver: Rising Prevalence of Cardiovascular Diseases

The growth in the prevalence of chronic conditions is one of the factors driving the Southeast Asian medical wearable devices market, as such diseases as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and respiratory disease require long-term, continuous monitoring rather than periodic hospital visits. With the growing number of patients, healthcare systems are compelled to reduce hospital admissions and costs, and remote and home-based monitoring solutions are experiencing rapid adoption. The wearables also facilitate treatment adherence and lifestyle management, which play a key role in treatment outcomes of chronic care. Moreover, demand is growing across the region, as physicians and payers increasingly consider wearable-generated data useful for preventive care and risk stratification.

As per the World Health Organization, on 29 September 2023, the South-East Asia-HEARTS or SEAHEARTS initiative is being rolled out by countries across the Region to reduce the burden of cardiovascular diseases, a leading cause of death.

Cardiovascular diseases account for 3.9 million deaths in the WHO South-East Asia Region every year, a quarter of all deaths from noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), with most of them being preventable.

Segments that transform the industry

• Based on device type, the market is segmented into diagnostic wearables, monitoring wearables, and therapeutic wearables. Among these, the monitoring wearable devices market held the largest share in 2024. This is mainly due to its providing real-time monitoring of key health indicators like heart rate, blood pressure, and glucose levels. Their capacity to reduce hospitalizations and support long-term disease management makes them highly appealing to healthcare providers and payers. With improved clinical acceptance, companies are rapidly expanding monitoring-targeted product lines to meet increased demand in both home care and telehealth environments. For example, on March 31, 2023, Dexcom is the global leader in real-time continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) for people with diabetes and launched its Dexcom G6 CGM System in Singapore, targeted toward diabetes patients from the age of two years and older, including pregnant women. Dexcom G6 uses a small, wearable sensor and transmitter to continuously measure and send glucose levels wirelessly to a receiver or compatible smart device, enabling patients to receive real-time glucose data without the need to prick their finger.

Region that transforms the industry

• Vietnam is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period (2025-2033). Vietnam is a rapidly developing market that is fueled by the rapid digitalization of healthcare systems and the increasing incidence of chronic illnesses, including diabetes and cardiovascular disorders. The expansion of hospital infrastructure and the adoption of telehealth services are driving demand for medical wearables that enable round-the-clock monitoring. Adding to this, the increasing adoption of smartphones and greater access to online healthcare platforms are accelerating the uptake of healthcare services at the patient level. Moreover, the modernization of healthcare delivery and the government's increased investment in preventive care are contributing to market growth.
