Dublin, July 21, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Global Medical Thermometer Market: Growth, Trends and Forecast (2020-2025)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global medical thermometer market is projected to grow with a CAGR of 7.5% over the forecast period.

The major factor attributing to the growth of the market is the growing number of medical situations that require accurate measurement of body temperature for deciding the treatment options. Many infectious diseases have high fever as a major distinctive symptom, so measuring the body temperature will be the primary diagnosis of many infections. For instance, the novel pandemic Coronavirus disease is spreading at a very fast rate and one of the ways to screen the people is to measure the body temperatures in public places, therefore the governments of different countries have procured many facial thermometers.

In addition, the World health organization has stated that the global incidence of dengue has grown dramatically in recent decades. About half of the world's population is now at risk. There are an estimated 100-400 million infections each year. So the increasing prevalence of infectious diseases is boosting the demand for the thermometers which is ultimately increasing the market growth.
