North America is estimated to contribute 42% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period. The US and Canada are the major revenue contributors to the market in North America. The rapid growth of the ECG devices market in North America can be attributed to the high healthcare expenditure on CVD, a rise in the adoption of technologically advanced ECG devices, a high prevalence of CVD, the increasing geriatric population, and the high number of ECG procedures performed. According to the US Census Bureau, in the US, the population aged 65 years and above was 17% in 2021. The geriatric population is more likely to develop CVD and undergo ECG procedures. These factors will facilitate market growth during the forecast period.
The market is experiencing growth due to increasing awareness about health and wellness. This includes trends like muscle building, weight management, and satiety support, driving demand for clean label products and allergen-free options. The rise of vegan and vegetarian lifestyles and concerns about environmental sustainability are also contributing factors. As plant-based foods become more popular, there is a greater need for protein shakes and meat substitutes made from pea protein sourced from yellow peas. This trend is part of the larger plant-based protein industry, which is responding to consumer demand for healthier and more sustainable options. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The increased incidence of cardiac disorders is notably driving the market growth. Hypertension, caused by a rise in blood pressure in the arteries, is the most common cause of heart failure. These health risks mainly arise from unhealthy dietary habits, increased stress, and lack of physical activity due to hectic lifestyles. The worldwide prevalence of hypertension is increasing at a rapid pace, posing a serious risk of heart disease or stroke. The growing hospitalization of the older population for the treatment of cardiac diseases has increased the need for ECG diagnosis, driving market growth. The rising older population in the Americas is a major factor in the increased adoption of ECG devices. Thus, there is a demand for the early detection of cardiac disorders, raising the demand and boosting market growth.
In addition to these factors, several trends and technologies are influencing the market for health and wellness products. These include muscle building, weight management, satiety support, and the demand for clean label products and allergen-free options. There is also a growing trend towards vegan and vegetarian lifestyles, driven by concerns for environmental sustainability and the ethical treatment of animals. Plant-based foods, including protein shakes made from pea protein and other plant-based sources, are becoming increasingly popular as meat substitutes. This is leading to greater consumer awareness and a larger plant-based protein industry.
The paradigm shift toward portable devices is the key trend driving the market. New opportunities are emerging as companies are focusing on developing portable, compact, and mobile ECG systems that can be used by mobile healthcare providers. Portable ECG devices provide access to EHR with higher interoperability and enable rapid diagnosis, especially while treating critical medical issues on the move.
As interoperability has become one of the important factors in most of the patient monitoring segments, ECG manufacturers have started partnering with ECG management, EMR companies, and CVIS providers to develop better interoperability. Companies are focusing on developing wearable and mobile ECG devices to increase market competitiveness. These factors are expected to drive the growth of the market focus during the forecast period.
The major challenge impeding the market is the high cost of ECG products and procedures. Cost pressure has led the end-users to invest less in ECG devices, leading to greater usage of traditional ECG devices. This has become a challenge for companies that sell advanced ECG products such as wearable devices in the market.
These devices with treadmills and advanced software installations having wide functions such as wireless, Bluetooth, data integration, and remote monitoring are expensive when compared with portable and handheld ECG devices. However, ECG testing devices are mostly bought by Tier-1 and Tier-2 hospitals only. Thus, the high cost of these products restricts their use in homecare settings and small testing laboratories.
The report includes the adoption lifecycle of the market, covering from the innovator’s stage to the laggard’s stage. It focuses on adoption rates in different regions based on penetration. Furthermore, the report also includes key purchase criteria and drivers of price sensitivity to help companies evaluate and develop their growth strategies.
