Defibrillator Market Forecasts to 2030 – Global Analysis By Type (Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators and External Defibrillators), Patient Type (Adult and Pediatric), End User and By Geography.

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Defibrillator Market is accounted for $15.49 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $27.50 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 8.6% during the forecast period. Defibrillators are medical devices designed to deliver an electric shock to the heart in order to restore a normal heartbeat, especially during life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias like ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia. These abnormal heart rhythms can cause the heart to quiver or beat too fast, leading to cardiac arrest. Defibrillators are vital in providing immediate treatment by administering an electric shock, which helps the heart re-establish a regular rhythm and improves blood circulation throughout the body. Defibrillators are extensively used in hospitals, cardiac care units, emergency rooms, and operating rooms to manage cardiac arrhythmias and to provide rapid response in case of cardiac emergencies.

According to the report published by the Coronary Artery Disease Foundation in 2022, around 356,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) are reported annually in the US.

Market Dynamics

Driver

Increasing incidence of the target disorders

A significant portion of the global population are impacted by cardiovascular diseases such coronary artery disease and cardiac arrest. Arrhythmic sudden cardiac death is more likely as a result of coronary artery disease. The risk of acquiring numerous cardiovascular illnesses is mostly increased by lifestyle conditions such obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes. In addition, a significant contributor in the increased prevalence of CVD is the growing worldwide elderly population. Due to the gradual deterioration and increase in complexity in the structure and function of the heart, ageing is connected with an exponential rise in the development of ventricular arrhythmias, resulting in an increase in the prevalence of arrhythmias in the heart. All these factors are anticipated to propel the demand for defibrillators to provide timely intervention with these devices during cardiac emergencies.

Restraint

Cost and Affordability

Defibrillator devices can be prohibitively expensive, especially advanced models with enhanced features and capabilities. This high cost poses a challenge for healthcare providers, facilities, and regions with constrained financial resources, limiting their ability to invest in these life-saving devices. Additionally, affordability concerns hinder widespread adoption and accessibility, hampering efforts to equip public spaces and healthcare institutions with defibrillators. Addressing cost barriers is crucial to ensuring broader availability and utilisation, particularly in underserved communities and resource-constrained healthcare systems.

Opportunity

Global Aging Population

The incidence of cardiac diseases and the risk of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) rise along with an increase in the number of elderly people worldwide. Defibrillator adoption is of the utmost importance for the senior population because ageing is typically accompanied by a variety of cardiac issues. In cardiac emergencies, defibrillators are essential for reviving the heart, greatly increasing the likelihood of survival. Defibrillators are becoming more necessary in geriatric care settings, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and at-home care since the elderly are more prone to cardiac episodes. Moreover, defibrillators are becoming more popular and widely used due to developments in defibrillator technology, such as devices made specifically to meet the demands of the senior population. Manufacturers are investing in research to develop age-appropriate defibrillator solutions to meet the distinct requirements of older individuals, creating a promising market opportunity that aligns with the global demographic shift towards an ageing society.

Threat

Technological Disruption and Innovation

Technological disruption and innovation pose a significant threat to the defibrillator market. The rapid evolution of medical technology, encompassing miniaturization, artificial intelligence, connectivity, and advanced materials, has the potential to render current defibrillator models obsolete or less competitive. Wearable and connected technologies might revolutionize cardiac monitoring and emergency response, potentially reducing the need for traditional defibrillators. Furthermore, breakthroughs in regenerative medicine and bioengineering could offer alternatives to defibrillators by focusing on cardiac tissue regeneration and repair. Failure to keep pace with these innovations could result in declining market share and diminished demand for traditional defibrillators.

Covid-19 Impact

The COVID-19 outbreak is anticipated to have a negative impact on the growth of the global defibrillator market. The pandemic damaged hospitals' purchasing power, especially minor hospitals, which led to cancelled or postponed supply deals and procedures, which had an effect on the overall income of all the major defibrillator market competitors. The main issues that healthcare systems around the world had to deal with were logistical issues, sickness management, giving priority to patients with comorbidities and pre-existing problems, and further protecting the general public and hospital frontline workers from COVID-19. The speed of delivery of goods and services was also impacted by more recent packaging restrictions and country-imposed lockdown processes. The manufacturing and supply chain for the defibrillator market are adversely affected by each of these issues.

The Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators segment is estimated to hold the largest share. Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICDs) are implantable medical devices designed to monitor and manage irregular heart rhythms, specifically ventricular arrhythmias. The ICD market has experienced significant growth due to the increasing prevalence of cardiac conditions and a growing ageing population. It caters to both primary prevention (for individuals at risk of developing life-threatening arrhythmias) and secondary prevention (for those who have already experienced cardiac events). Moreover, due to the technological advancements it has smaller and more sophisticated ICDs, with features like remote monitoring and integrated pacemakers for bradycardia patients. Additionally, ICDs continue to play a critical role in managing cardiac arrhythmias, improving patient quality of life, and reducing mortality rates, making them a key component of the defibrillator market. Therefore, there is lucrative growth for the defibrillator market.

The Hospitals, Clinics and Cardiac Centres segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
