Electrophysiology Devices Market Trends

The global electrophysiology devices market size was estimated at USD 12.9 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 15.1% from 2025 to 2030. Increasing use of electrophysiology (EP) tests in treating and diagnosing heart diseases, such as atrial fibrillation, growing demand for devices for cardiac rhythm management for constant monitoring, and increasing application of these devices in out-of-hospital settings are propelling the industry growth. The prevalence of heart failure, cardiac arrest, and atrial fibrillation among millennials is rising due to sedentary lifestyles, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and others. According to the CDC, approximately 12.1 million Americans will be suffering from atrial fibrillation by 2030. 

Electrophysiology Devices Market Size, By Device Type, 2020 - 2030 (USD Billion)

The growing number of catheter ablation procedures will positively impact the global market. As the number of ablation procedures rises, a direct increase in demand for ancillary products is observed. Furthermore, electrophysiology devices include electrophysiology (EP) devices that enhance maneuverability for navigating complex anatomies, provide greater flexibility for reaching targeted areas, improve compatibility, and enhance visualization capability through integrated imaging capabilities. According to an article published by Elsevier Inc. in March 2023, the annual rate of cardiac electrophysiology (EP) procedures increased from 817.9 in 2013 to 1,089.68 per 100,000 beneficiaries in 2019 within the U.S.

The growing arrhythmia burden is expected to propel opportunities in the global market. According to an article published by Johnson & Johnson Services, Inc. in 2021-22, the prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AFib) was over 7 million in the U.S., 20 million in Asia Pacific, 14 million in Europe, and nearly 2 million in Latin America. In Europe, countries such as France, Germany, Italy, and the UK witness over 1 million AFib cases. Furthermore, the region has an aging population, leading to a projected 70.0% increase in AFib cases within the next few years (by 2030). By 2050, Europe is anticipated to witness the most significant rise in AFib cases globally. Consequently, AFib-related stroke events, hospitalizations, and outpatient visits are expected to surge substantially, creating an increased demand for electrophysiology devices.

Market Characteristics & Concentration

The market is highly consolidated, with leading players introducing novel products. The market growth stage is high, and the pace of market growth is accelerating. For instance, in January 2024, GE HealthCare introduced the Prucka 3 Digital Amplifier as an innovative platform for innovation in EP. This next-generation system offers enhanced capabilities for diagnosing and treating heart rhythm disorders.

The market is witnessing continuous research and development, such as adopting 3D mapping systems, the production of wireless and wearable devices for continuous monitoring, and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in electrophysiology procedures. Manufacturers are focusing on introducing novel technologies to produce more accurate, cost-effective, and user-friendly EP devices.

Electrophysiology Devices Industry Dynamics

A high level of M&A activities characterizes the market. The main reason for the frequent acquisitions in this market is the technological soundness of small players with their robust product pipelines. It allows the key players to improve their market share, expand their product portfolio, and provide opportunities to be the first entrant into a niche market segment. For instance, in November 2022, the company completed the acquisition of Obsidio, Inc., a medical technology company. This acquisition was expected to boost the company's cardiac devices portfolio.

The stringent regulatory framework for approval and commercialization of electrophysiology devices impedes market growth. Compliance with regulatory standards further often results in product recalls, reducing patient and healthcare participant confidence. For instance, in January 2024, Abbott was issued a Class II device recall notice by the U.S. FDA for its TactiFlex Ablation Sensor Enabled Ablation Catheter.

Key companies in the global market are also focusing on market expansion. For instance, in February 2024, Terumo Corporation, a key med-tech player, announced the opening of its new manufacturing facility in Puerto Rico. The facility is close to 64,000 square feet.

Device Type Insights

Based on device type, the ablation catheters segment led the market with the largest revenue share of 45.53% in 2024. An ablation catheter is used to control irregular heartbeats that cannot be treated with medication. The ablation catheter segment comprises radiofrequency (RF) ablation, cryoablation, and pulse field ablation. Growing heart failure and arrhythmia incidences, awareness regarding the electrophysiology procedures’ reliability, advancement in EP technologies, and increasing minimally invasive procedures are factors responsible for the segment's dominance. For instance, in January 2024, Boston Scientific Corporation received approval for the FARAPULSE Pulsed Field Ablation System. This system offers an innovative approach to performing cardiac ablation.

The diagnostic catheters segment is anticipated to register at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. Diagnostic catheters are used to investigate and evaluate patients with suspected cardiovascular diseases. These comprise EP mapping devices, cardiac output catheters, and angiography catheters. In July 2023, Biosense Webster, Inc. launched a mapping catheter, OPTRELL. OPTRELL is a high-density diagnostic catheter that provides high-definition EP mapping of complex cardiac arrhythmias.

Indication Insights

Based on indication, the atrial fibrillation segment led the market with the largest revenue share of 73.64% in 2024. It is the most common type of arrhythmia associated with a high risk of stroke and blood clotting. According to the British Heart Association, in 2022, approximately 1.5 million of the UK population suffer from atrial fibrillation. In addition, an expected 270,000 individuals aged 65 years and above have undiagnosed atrial fibrillation in the country. The high prevalence of the disease is responsible for the prominent share of the segment.

In recent years, innovative smartphone applications have been introduced for arrhythmic patients that can connect them with healthcare professionals. Moreover, inpatient facilities and clinical settings are taking the initiative to involve arrhythmia care in their treatment routine.

End Use Insights

Based on end use, the inpatient facility segment led the market with the largest revenue share of 83.47% in 2024. The adoption of technologically advanced cardiac rhythm management and EP systems by interventional cardiologists and the rising burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is responsible for the dominant share of the segment. The number of arrhythmia procedures in inpatient facilities is estimated to increase over the coming years owing to the availability of a skilled team of cardiologists and a well-equipped facility. Furthermore, a growing number of patients approach hospitals due to proper reimbursement facilities and accessibility to treatment, which drives the segment.

Electrophysiology Devices Market Share, By End Use, 2024 (%)

The outpatient facilities segment is projected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. A shift towards minimally invasive outpatient procedures and significant cost savings augment the segment's growth. For instance, a study by Health Affairs revealed that ASC procedures are cost and time-effective. It takes around 25% less time than inpatient facilities, with USD 360 to 1,000 savings per patient owing to the lower fixed costs. Furthermore, government initiatives to reduce the cost of treatment and favorable reimbursement policies are propelling segment growth. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) extended ambulatory surgical coverage for cardiac interventional procedures, such as pacemaker implants, endovenous ablation, and catheterization procedures.
