Overview:
Significant and perpetual rise in incidence of cardiovascular diseases, advancements in telemetry and remote patient monitoring and advent of home-based cardiac care have given a surge in demand for cardiac monitoring devices globally. ECG devices comprise the largest segment in the cardiac monitoring devices. Prime driving factors to the growth and dominance of this segment include phenomenal rise in incidence of lifestyle-related cardiovascular diseases, fundamental relevance of ECG monitors in cardiology and continuous technological innovation in home care products. On the other hand, lack of skilled technicians and medical personnel in cardiac monitoring and ECG solutions and overwhelming pressure to contain healthcare costs may hamper the growth of this market during the forecast period.
Hospitals and clinics form the largest user group for cardiac monitoring devices, followed by home care users. Surge in demand for remote monitoring and long term home care for geriatric patients facilitate the fastest market growth for home care segment. Geographically, Asia Pacific and Middle East and Africa are the fastest progressing markets for cardiac monitoring devices. Significant rise in incidence of cardiovascular diseases in the general population on the grounds of sedentary lifestyle and rapid evolution of healthcare infrastructure are the key drivers in these regions. Burgeoning medical devices market and upswing in medical tourism will further contribute to steady growth in demand cardiac monitoring devices in Asian markets.
