Lewes, DE -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/20/2016 -- Defibrillator Market - Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2014 - 2022 projects that the global defibrillators market would reach $15,610 million by 2022. Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) segment is expected to dominate this market throughout 2015 and 2022. North America would continue to lead, accounting for more than two-fifths share of the globaldefibrillator market in 2015.

Advent of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) for public access places, rising incidences of sudden cardiac arrest, and growing awareness towards public access defibrillators worldwide are the factors majorly driving the market growth. The rising number of application areas for defibrillators, coupled with increasing adoption of defibrillator systems (both ICDs and external defibrillators) in cardiology, is expected to boost the global defibrillators market growth. Cost-effectiveness, safety, high accessibility, and clinical value in preliminary treatment of sudden cardiac arrest strengthen the technological advancements in this market. In addition, increase in number of advanced implantable cardiac defibrillators (S-ICDs, T-ICDs, and CRT-D) and awareness about early treatment of life threatening cardiac diseases (such as cardiac arrhythmia, ventricular fibrillation, and sudden cardiac arrest) are anticipated to further drive the demand for defibrillators globally. However, unawareness, unfavorable healthcare reforms, certain issues related to (external and implantable) defibrillators are the limitations that restrict the market growth.

The transvenous-implantable cardioverter defibrillator (T-ICDs) segment accounted for about 95% of the overall ICD market in 2015, as these are the most commonly used ICDs for the treatment of heart disorders for higher precision and targeted functioning. In addition, cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) is the fastest growing segment and is projected to register a CAGR 5.0% during the forecast period. This is due to the growing demand of defibrillator that helps in restoring the heart back to a normal pace from faster heart rhythms and to prevent the heart rate to go below normal levels.

Automated external defibrillator (AEDs) segment is projected to maintain its lead in the overall external defibrillators market due to its increasing installations at public or private places such as schools, work place, airports, sports arenas, government offices, and others. The growing demand of AEDs in the developed economies of North America and Europe have further boosted the market growth. Furthermore, wearable external defibrillator is anticipated to exhibit the highest growth, with a CAGR of 12.3% during the forecast period. This is owed to the advanced protection by these defibrillators for sudden cardiac arrest and increase in demand from home healthcare facilities.

The ability of the defibrillator device to diagnose early onset of ventricular tachycardia and ventricular defibrillation is expected to promote its demand. On the other hand, the life-saving potential of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in addition to positive legislations for installation of public access defibrillators (PAD) has witnessed the remarkable growth in the defibrillator market, states Hemali Narkhede, Manager, Healthcare Research at AMR. Also, stiff competition in the U.S. market has resulted in significant decrease in the cost of AEDs. The enforcement of the U.S. governmental law, which necessitates the installation of public access defibrillators (PAD) at public places has derived the growth of AEDs in this region.

However, Asia-Pacific is projected to be the fastest growing region throughout the analysis period. Japan, being dominant in the Asia-Pacific especially in external defibrillator market, contributes solely for the AEDs market share. This is a result of awareness about the early prevention of sudden cardiac arrest. Also, improving healthcare infrastructures and increasing expenditures in the emerging markets (such as India and China) to overcome the unmet medical needs in these countries have bolstered the market growth. Technological advancements for cost-effective devices in these nations offer a lucrative opportunity for the defibrillator market growth.
