What is an ear thermometer?

An ear thermometer measures the body temperature through the ear canal. The ear temperature mostly correlates with the brain temperature and is thus considered the most accurate reading. Also, ear thermometers use an infrared sensor to measure the temperature of energy radiating from the eardrum. The eardrum is an extremely accurate point to measure the body temperature as it is recessed inside the head.

Key Players

Key players operating in the global ear thermometer market are-

• Braun (Germany),
• Briggs (The U.S),
• Drive Medical (The U.S),
• Graham Field (The U.S),
• Invacare (The U.S),
• Kaz (The U.S),
• Lumiscope (The U.S),
• Mabis (The U.S),
• Mckesson (The U.S), and
• Medline (The U.S).

Market Dynamics

Growing respiratory and chronic diseases result in high fever among infants and adults, thus require high-precision thermometers to measure temperature and proceed with further consultation and treatment, thus bolsters the product demand.

• Moreover, most of the hospitals are now considering infrared ear thermometers over the forehead and other traditional thermometers owing to their high accuracy and quick results, which furthers bolsters the industry growth.
• However, it can’t be used on infants below 6 months and the availability of alternative thermometers is likely to hamper the market expansion.
