ECG Devices Market size was valued at USD 6.48 billion in 2024 and is set to exceed USD 15.81 billion by 2037, registering over 7.1% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of ECG devices is evaluated at USD 7.24 billion.
The growth of the market can be primarily attributed to the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) globally. According to the World Health Organization, around 17.9 million people worldwide die each year from CVDs, accounting for 32% of all deaths.85% majority of CVD deaths result from heart attacks and strokes. CVD is one of the leading causes of death and one of the most common health problems. Moreover, patient monitoring devices such as ECG devices have gained popularity in recent years owing to their ease of use and quick results in detecting CVDs. In order to reduce the risks associated with heart disease, ECG tests are performed on individuals who are at risk of contracting heart disease. Thus, the existence of a large number of patients suffering from cardiovascular diseases is expected to drive the global ECG devices market during the forecast period.
In addition to that, the development and launch of advanced ECG devices are expected to drive market growth over the forecast period. For instance, Koninklijke Philips has launched the first 12-lead ECG-integrated advanced solution for remote clinical trials. It combines clinical, site-based ECG data with Philips' leading cloud-based data collection and analysis services. Moreover, improvements in ECG devices, government regulations favoring monitoring devices, and increased R&D activities along with advancements in healthcare facilities are expected to drive the global ECG monitoring devices market over the forecast period.
Growth Drivers
An Increasing Number of Geriatric People Around the World - According to a recent World Bank report, there were 747,238,580 people above 60 years of age in the world at the end of 2021. This number is predicted to continue to grow in the coming years. There is a strong correlation between aging and the development of diseases such as heart disease, hypertension, and high blood cholesterol levels. This factor is expected to enlarge the global ECG devices market size during the forecast period. A growing elderly population propels the demand for ECG devices for diagnosing diseases and monitoring patients.
Surge in Exports of ECG Devices Owing to Rising Demand for Diagnosis - According to the statistics by the International Trade Center (Trademap), the global value of exports of ECG (Electro-cardiographs) in the year 2021 was recorded to be USD 1,181,962 thousand, which was an increase from USD 1,066,130 thousand in the preceding year.
Increasing Incidence of Heart Diseases such as Rheumatic Heart Disease - As per the data by WHO, Rheumatic heart disease is the most common heart disease among people younger than 25. Over 288,348 people die each year from rheumatic heart disease. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2020 about 697,000 Americans died from heart disease.
Adoption Of Resting 12‑Lead ECG Tests by Patients at Home - For instance, 12 lead resting electrocardiogram (ECG) is one of the most commonly performed tests for the heart. It is estimated that more than 290 million such ECG tests are performed each year on a global scale.
Rising Health Care Expenditure Worldwide with Increasing Health Issues - According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, in Unites States healthcare expenditures increased by 9.7% to USD 4.1 trillion in 2020, representing 19.7% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Also, U.S. healthcare spending is anticipated to increase by 5.4% annually for 2019-28 and rise to USD 6.2 trillion by 2028.
Challenges
Experienced medical professionals with a cardiology specialization are difficult to find which hampers the market growth in the forecast period. The increasing number of heart diseases increases the need for more skilled people which leads to a shortage of staff to handle equipment for heart diseases.
