Global outlook of the electrophysiology devices market
Technavio’s market research analysts predict the global electrophysiology devices market to grow steadily during the forecast period and post a CAGR of almost 8% by 2020. This industry research report identifies the increasing preference for remote monitoring devices to be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the growth of the electrophysiology devices market in the coming years. With the increased availability of home monitoring devices for implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices, and pacemakers, the recent years have witnessed a rapid increase in the demand for remote monitoring devices for better treatment. These monitoring systems automatically download patient data using radio transmissions for easy communication. Though the high cost poses a major challenge for the adoption of remote monitoring devices, the focus of a few vendors to reduce costs will increase the rate of adoption across the globe, in turn, propelling market growth.
This market research and analysis estimates that in terms of geographical regions, the Americas will be the major revenue contributor to the market throughout the next four years. The increasing incidences of cardiovascular diseases and the introduction of healthcare policies such as the Million Hearts CVD Risk Reduction model that will reduce the costs of cardiovascular treatment such as electrophysiology procedures, will drive the market’s growth prospects in this region.
