Needless to say, 2020 has been a different year for everyone and nothing went as planned at the beginning of the year. While most of the people had to stay at home, the ones directly related to healthcare and essential service sectors had to work for longer hours. When it comes to the top products in the Health & Fitness sector, we have seen a change in the shopping habits of the audience of TOI Most Searched Products. People focussed on hygiene products like sanitizers and disinfectants throughout the year to make sure that their surroundings are safe. While masks and devices like oximeters were bought all around the year, the buying pattern changed as the months passed.
To help you understand how the year went for us in Health & Fitness, we have a list of some of the top-selling products for you. If you do not own any of these healthcare essentials, get one before it is too late.
Healthcare Devices
Unlike the regular shopping pattern of BP monitors and glucometers when it comes to healthcare devices, 2020 witnessed a huge sale of pulse oximeters. Offered by various brands, these devices usually range between Rs 2,000-4,000 and help you to monitor your blood oxygen levels and pulse rate. Besides this, many MSP users even bought electric vaporizers and steamers in large numbers. There was even a spike seen in the sale of infrared thermometers as compared to previous years to monitor body temperature from a distance.
