Defibrillators Market Drivers and Opportunities:

Increasing Prevalence of Cardiovascular Diseases and Sudden Cardiac Arrest

The increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) on a global scale are major contributing factors to the growth of the defibrillators market, since they are two of the most prevalent causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. These cardiovascular diseases include coronary artery disease, arrhythmia, and heart failure, which are all major contributors to the global burden of disease. Due to the increasing prevalence of risk factors for CVDs, such as: Hypertension, Diabetes, Obesity, Smoking, and Sedentary Lifestyle, the incidence of cardiac emergencies requiring rapid intervention has also increased dramatically. Defibrillators (including Automated External Defibrillators - AEDs, Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators - ICDs, and Wearable Devices) provide a means of returning the heart to a normal rhythm in cases of life-threatening arrhythmia and thereby increase survival rates significantly. As populations around the world continue to age, this is generating increased demand for defibrillators as seniors are at greater risk for suffering from a cardiac event. As the result of this increased awareness, there has been also a significant increase in the distribution of Advanced Defibrillators in hospital, EMS systems, and public access sites (PADS). Additionally, many Governments are investing in public-access AED programs and enacting regulations requiring the installation of AEDs in the workplace, schools, and airports to provide enhanced market growth. The increase in the clinical requirement for defibrillators to meet the growing rate of cardiac emergencies is therefore a key factor supporting the ongoing growth of the Global Defibrillators Market.

Expansion of Public Access and Home-Based Defibrillation

Expanding Public Access Defibrillation (PAD) programs and the adoption of home-based defibrillators is a major opportunity in the defibrillator market. Individuals now have increased awareness of how to survive sudden cardiac arrest and as a result many governments, health care organizations and private companies are encouraging the placement of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in public locations that see a lot of foot traffic (e.g., airports/aircraft, schools, shopping malls, sports facilities, etc.). This trend allows manufacturers to address a much larger and growing market than simply what can be found in hospitals and clinics. Furthermore, home-based defibrillators and wearable cardioverter-defibrillators are becoming more popular, especially with patients who have known cardiac issues, are at risk for arrhythmias, or are recovering from surgery. The introduction of new technologies has also made it possible for home-based users to access compact, lightweight, user-friendly devices with voice prompts, as well as wireless connectivity and integration with emergency response systems. Emerging markets in Asia Pacific, Latin America and the Middle East will provide opportunities for manufacturers to reach these markets as the prevalence of cardiovascular disease continues to rise and income levels rise. By focusing on Public Access programs, remote monitoring solutions, and building patient-friendly devices to be used in the home setting, manufacturers will have the ability to reach under-penetrated segments and improve the availability of services needed to provide early response, leading to ongoing growth of the global defibrillator market.
