Market analysis: my country's ear thermometer market sales are gradually increasing every year

There is a place in the deep part of the brain called the hypothalamus, which has a "set-point" structure that controls the body's constant temperature. The hypothalamus is also the center of the body's temperature. When the human body has a fever, it is the result of the "fixed point" receiving some inflammatory chemicals circulating in the blood stream and then increasing it.

Therefore, the hypothalamus is the first place where the body temperature rises, and the blood flow that supplies the eardrum and the hypothalamus It happens to communicate with each other, so it is most appropriate to use the eardrum temperature to reflect the temperature of the human body. At the same time, the eardrum is also the earliest place to detect whether the human body has a fever.

In the context of the epidemic, industries such as thermometers are developing rapidly, and medical devices such as masks have set new market records. At the same time, the scientific and technological level of my country's ear thermometer industry continues to rise, and the promotion of various parties will make the application of ear thermometers develop explosively in the next five years.

Analysis of the market operation status of the ear thermometer industry According to the statistics of the association, the production and sales of ear thermometers in my country grew rapidly in 2019, and the total production and sales hit a record high, an increase of 14.5% and 13.7% respectively over the same period of the previous year, higher than 11.2% and 13.7% respectively in the same period of the previous year. 9.0 percentage points. The ear thermometer industry has become a market for policy dividends. The State Council government report pointed out that the ear thermometer industry will help improve the quality of life of the people.

There are currently three mainstream thermometers on the market, namely electronic thermometers, mercury thermometers and infrared thermometers. Among them, mercury thermometers are the most commonly used, but they are also the most dangerous.

Once the mercury thermometer is broken, the mercury in it will enter the respiratory tract or digestive tract, causing great harm. A few years ago, a child in the outer suburbs of Beijing broke a mercury thermometer and swallowed mercury by mistake. His life was seriously threatened, and his life was saved only after the children's hospital tried his best to rescue him.

Compared with the above two thermometers, the advantages of infrared ear thermometers are obvious. There is neither the risk of mercury leakage nor the various unstable factors of electronic thermometers. Just put the ear thermometer on the patient's ear for 2-3 seconds to measure accurately, which is safe and convenient.

The general principle is this: when a person has a fever, the tympanic membrane in the ear will heat up first, and the tympanic membrane will radiate infrared rays with different energy and wavelength distribution at different temperatures. The ear thermometer can monitor the energy and wavelength distribution of infrared rays, and then calculate the patient's body temperature through a digital model.
