Electrophysiology Market by Product (EP Ablation Catheters, EP Laboratory Devices, EP Diagnostic Catheters, Access Devices, and Others), Indication (Atrial Fibrillation (AF), Atrial Flutter, Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome (WPW), Atrioventricular Nodal Reentry Tachycardia (AVNRT), and Others), and End User (Hospitals & Cardiac Centers, Ambulatory Surgery Centers, and Others): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021-2030
The global electrophysiology market was valued at $6,499.7 million in 2020, and is estimated to reach $22,651.4 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 14.4% from 2021 to 2030.
Electrophysiology is defined as the study of the mechanism and performance of electrical signaling pathway that guides functioning of heartbeats. It is a procedure used to diagnose cardiac arrhythmia by identifying area of heart tissue, which disturbs normal functioning of the heart’s electrical system. Electrophysiology device is also designed to treat atrial fibrillation by surgical removal of abnormal tissue in the heart through catheter.
Growth of the global electrophysiology market is majorly driven by an alarming increase in prevalence of cardiac arrhythmia such as atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter; rise in government initiatives to spread awareness & promote knowledge to physicians and electrophysiologists about handling and use of electrophysiology devices; and surge in number of cardiac ablation procedures. For instance, in 2021, APN health, a next generation medical device company, reported that approximately 750,000 cardiac electrophysiology ablation procedure were conducted in the U.S. Moreover, as per the same source, in 2021, it was also observed that around 300,000 number of catheter ablation procedures are conducted for atrial fibrillation. Moreover, in August 2021, Medline ReNewal, one of the leading medical device reprocessing sectors, announced launch of continuing education course series to help cardiac electrophysiology clinicians to learn more about fundamentals of cardiac electrophysiology laboratory procedures.
In addition, advancements in technology to develop electrophysiology catheters and increase in strategic agreements to enhance electrophysiology products are major factors that drive the global electrophysiology market. For instance, in January 2022, Medtronic, Inc., one of the leading healthcare technology companies, announced an agreement with Affera, Inc. to enhance the portfolio of advanced cardiac ablation products and accessories. Moreover, increase in prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetics, cardiovascular diseases, and hypertension significantly contributes toward the market growth.
Furthermore, rise in number of geriatric populations drive growth of the market. This is attributed to the fact that geriatric population is highly vulnerable to cardiac diseases such as atrial fibrillation, owing to aging effect, which boosts demand for various electrophysiology catheters for better health outcomes. According to the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, it was reported that around 9% of population above the age of 65 years are diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. This factor is expected to notably contribute toward growth of the global electrophysiology market.
Rise in number of approvals of electrophysiology devices such as ablation catheters and diagnostic catheters acts as a key driving force for the global market. Furthermore, rise in funds by governments of various countries and private organizations to cardiac centers and healthcare infrastructure are expected to boost the market growth. In addition, increase in healthcare expenditure and increase in number of key players that manufacturer advanced and innovative devices to provide lucrative opportunities for the market expansion.
However, high cost associated with electrophysiology devices hinders the market growth. On the contrary, increase in number of clinical studies on cardiac ablation augments growth of the electrophysiology market. For instance, in 2020, Biosense Webster, a part of Johnson & Johnson family of companies, conducted an alteplase-tenecteplase trial evaluation for stroke thrombolysis (ATTEST) clinical study to evaluate that the result between radiofrequency (RF) ablation procedure and anti-arrhythmia therapy alone to delay progression of persistent atrial fibrillation. The result concluded that RF ablation procedure is more effective then drug in the patient diagnosed with paroxysmal to persistent AF. This has further encouraged many key players to enter emerging markets, thus offering lucrative opportunities for expansion of the electrophysiology market.
