MARKET DRIVERS:

The growing incidence of CVDs such as ischemic heart disease (IHD), hypertensive heart disease, stroke, and peripheral artery diseases propel the diagnostic ECG market growth.

According to the statistics published by World Health Organization (WHO), CVDs are one of the leading causes of death worldwide and caused 17.9 million deaths worldwide in 2021. The growing number of deaths and an increasing number of people suffering from cardiovascular diseases are promoting the need for diagnostic ECG devices. These diseases majorly occur due to the increasing prevalence of unhealthy lifestyles. However, awareness regarding the negative impact of an unhealthy lifestyle is deficient among the public.

In addition, the growing aging population, increasing improvements in the healthcare infrastructure in developing and underdeveloped countries, and the availability of reimbursement policies are anticipated to showcase a favorable impact on the diagnostic ECG market growth. Developing nations witness high growth opportunities compared to developed countries because the market of developed nations is almost saturated. In addition, developing economies have an environment of favorable government policies and growing healthcare spending, which are estimated to favor market growth.

Furthermore, the rise in the support from government organizations through investments to minimize the cost of treatment procedures in healthcare centers is lavishing the need for the diagnostic ECG market. Technological advancements in communication, low-power circuit design for safer ECG devices, portability features, lower power consumption, more accuracy, and the capacity to incorporate the latest diagnostic features are supporting market growth. The rising aging population worldwide and increasing incidence of lifestyle diseases are contributing to the growth of the global diagnostic ECG market. In addition, a growing tendency for early diagnosis of a disease by knowing the benefits involved in detecting the disease at an early stage is escalating market growth.

MARKET RESTRAINTS:

However, unstable reimbursement regulations, the high cost of devices, and economic instability are the major factors hindering the growth of the diagnostic ECG market.

Impact of COVID-19 on the diagnostic ECG market:

The global diagnostic ECG market had a favorable impact on the global diagnostic ECG market. The public has become more conscious about their cardiovascular problems as it has been found that COVID-19 is more fatal to people with cardiovascular problems. It has increased people's awareness to check their cardiovascular condition regularly and boosted the ECG market as more cases are reported daily. The governments have now made more temporary hospitals to fight this situation. These hospitals require more ECG monitoring devices and thus boosting the market. North America and the European region will see more demand as unhealthy lifestyles are prevalent. In addition, considering the reduced impact of COVID-19 and increasing habituation towards new normalization, the global market for diagnostic ECG is anticipated to showcase a healthy CAGR in the coming years.
