Product and Service Analysis

The Resting ECG Devices Segment Accounted for the Highest Market Share. 

The diagnostic ECG market’s Resting ECG Devices segment has the largest market share and it will be the fastest-growing segment. This is primarily due to the quicker and more precise diagnosis that does not require prior preparation. The Victorian Department of Health says that a patient can usually be diagnosed with a resting ECG in 5 to 10 minutes when his body is completely still.

In addition, it quickly identifies specific heart conditions like ischemia, heart hypertrophy, cardiac arrhythmias, myocardial infarction sequelae, and myocardial infarction, which contribute to the growth of this segment. Myocardial infarction affects approximately 800,000 people annually, according to the CDC. The remaining 600,000 had myocardial infarction before, while about 600,000 had it for the first time.

Holter monitors are anticipated to experience the industry’s fastest growth. As the most common type of ambulatory ECG monitoring, Holter ECG monitors are widely utilized in the detection of numerous cardiovascular diseases. It has been discovered that Holter monitors are cheaper than conventional ECG machines. A Holter monitor costs approximately USD 64, while a conventional ECG rate is USD 128, according to a study. The rapid expansion of wireless Holter monitors in the global diagnostic electrocardiogram industry can be largely attributed to their development.

Lead Type Analysis

3-Lead ECG Devices and 6-Lead ECG Devices Held the Largest Share of the Global Diagnostic Electrocardiograph Market.

In the diagnostic ECG market, 3-6 Lead held the largest share of the market. This is mainly due to the fact that it is utilized frequently in various cardiac diagnostic tests. Additionally, its low price and high-efficiency rate contribute to the growth of this market. An NCBI study found that a 3-lead ECG is 96.4% more accurate than a 12-lead ECG.

End-User Analysis

The Hospital Segment Has Dominated the Market and Held the Largest Share of the Market.

Due to a large number of hospitals and the high cost of purchasing ECG devices, the hospital market dominated the entire ECG market. This market segment also dominates due to the rising number of people seeking hospital treatment and diagnosis for cardiovascular disease. 4.6% of adults in the U.S have been diagnosed with coronary heart disease, according to the CDC. 6.5% of Americans went to the doctor for their cardiovascular conditions. 7.4% of Americans have sought treatment and diagnosis for these illnesses in emergency rooms. The growth of the market is also boosted by an increase in spending on ECG devices for good cardiac treatment.

Drivers

Significance of Cardiac Diseases Drive the Market’s Growth.

The prevalence of cardiac diseases is the primary factor propelling the global diagnostic electrocardiograph market. The World Health Organization stated that cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Cardiovascular diseases cause approximately 18 million deaths annually, or 31% of all deaths worldwide. Diagnostic ECGs are in high demand as a result of the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases and the industry’s expansion.

The fact that electrocardiographs are more accurate than other methods of diagnosing the heart makes them more in demand and helps the industry grow. Diagnostic electrocardiographs, as stated by the American Heart Association, can accurately measure cardiac rhythm to an accuracy of 88%. 95% of the time, sinus rhythm was correctly interpreted.

Restraints

High Cost of Diagnostic Electrocardiograph Hindered the Market’s Growth.

Clinicians in many third-world nations are forced to use older ECG machines rather than the most advanced ones because of the cost-effectiveness factor. The diagnostic electrocardiograph market is hindered in emerging nations by high purchasing and upkeep costs and a lack of technical expertise.

Opportunities

New Technical Advancements

The electrocardiograph (ECG) industry will be driven by technological advancements and increased access to novel treatment options. Using resting ECG, Holter monitor, ambulatory ECG, exercise testing systems, event monitor, pacemaker, and cardio data management can quickly treat cases of rising coronary artery disease, arrhythmia, and cardiomyopathy. More than 2.6 out of every 1,000 people in the United States of America have pacemakers attached to treat various heart conditions, according to an NCBI study.

As there is a rise in the geriatric population, pacemakers became more common, with 0.4 per 1000 people in the 18-64 age range using them and 26 per 1000 people in the 65-plus age range. The home ECG, mobile ECG devices, and ECG equipment industries could benefit from the new advanced developments and access to advanced treatment options.

Regional Analysis

North America dominates the global diagnostic electrocardiograph market during the forecast period.

Due to the rising demand for minimally surgical procedures, the diagnostic electrocardiograph (ECG) market is dominated by North America with a revenue share of 38.8%. The diagnostic ECG market in NA will also expand during the forecast period as a result of the rising number of geriatric populations and the increase in income per capita.

Due to the growing population, the diagnostic electrocardiograph market is expected to expand significantly in Asia-Pacific. Additionally, the increase in disposable income. In addition, it is anticipated that the expanding healthcare infrastructure will further propel the diagnostic electrocardiograph market’s expansion in the APAC in the upcoming years. India, China, Myanmar, Japan, Brazil, and other Asian nations make up the Asia-Pacific region.

Due to its large population, rising disposable income, and improved healthcare infrastructure, this region is anticipated to experience lucrative growth. In China, cardiovascular diseases affect more than 290 million people, as per the study by NCBI. Approximately 11 million Chinese had coronary heart disease and 13 million had a stroke.
