The growth in the defibrillator market is driven by the increasing proportion of the population with cardiovascular diseases, technological advancements in defibrillators, and rising initiatives by public and private organizations to provide free training and programs, as well as enhance the implementation of public access defibrillators (PADs). However, issues related to implantable and automated external defibrillators and frequent product recalls have impeded market growth.
The implantable cardioverter defibrillators segment accounted for the largest share of the global market in 2024.
Based on product, the defibrillator market is broadly segmented into implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and external defibrillators. ICDs are further divided into transvenous implantable cardioverter defibrillators and subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillators, whereas external defibrillators are divided into manual AEDs, automated AEDs, and wearable defibrillators. The ICDs segment accounted for the largest global defibrillator market share in 2024. Technological advancements in implantable defibrillators, rising awareness among cardiologists about the benefits pertaining to subcutaneous ICDs, and the launch of technologically advanced ICDs.
The adult segment dominated the defibrillator market based on the patient type in 2024.
The defibrillator market is segmented into adult and pediatric patients based on patient type. The adult patients segment dominated the global defibrillator market in 2024. The increasing incidence of cardiovascular disease in the adult population, rapid growth in the geriatric population, which is highly susceptible to sudden cardiac arrest, and the increasing number of implantations of ICDs in adult patients are likely to fuel the growth of the segment.
North America is expected to account for the highest market share in the defibrillator market during the forecast period.
Based on the region, the global defibrillator market is categorized into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. North America is expected to witness a high market share during the forecast period. This can be attributed to factors such as the rising adoption of advanced defibrillators, increasing efforts by governments to provide the necessary care to cardiac arrest patients, the strong foothold of market players, favorable reimbursement programs, and an increase in the incidence of coronary artery diseases.
