Electrophysiology Devices Market Trends

The global electrophysiology devices market size was estimated at USD 10.07 billion in 2023 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 13.9% from 2024 to 2030. Increasing use of electrophysiology (EP) tests in treatment and diagnosis of 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.

In addition, European people are more prone to atrial fibrillation than African Americans. As per the European Society of Cardiology, sudden cardiac arrest due to abnormal heart rhythm is one of the reasons for death in Western countries. It affects approximately 1 in 1,000 inhabitants per year. Electrophysiology devices are cardiology specialty equipment used mainly in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. Thus, the increasing prevalence of heart diseases is augmenting the market growth. EP has facilitated the use of mobile cardiac telemetry and ambulatory ECG monitoring. Technological advancements, such as remote monitoring of implantable cardiac devices, data storage in the cloud, and the incorporation of wireless transmission, are expected to propel market growth.

For instance, in May 2019, Biosense Webster launched the CARTONET platform, a novel cloud-based network that interconnects myriad devices and transfers the data that is utilized during the practice. It aids the healthcare providers to access the patient’s information, such as 3D images and videos, which are obtained during the ablation procedures. In recent years, the shift of patients towards minimally invasive surgeries has increased. The introduction of minimally invasive technologies, such as cryoablation, laser ablation, ultrasound ablation, and advanced mapping technologies, is also expected to bode well with the industry. For instance, in February 2022, Medtronic received U.S. FDA approval for the Freezor & Freezor Xtra, Cardiac Cryoablation Focal Catheters for the treatment of Atrioventricular Nodal Reentrant Tachycardia (AVNRT) in pediatric patients.

Market Concentration & Characteristics 

The EP devices market is highly consolidated, with leading players acquiring small and niche companies. The market growth stage is high and the pace of market growth is accelerating.

Electrophysiology Devices Market Concentration & Characteristics

The market is witnessing continuous research and development, such as the adoption of 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.

The electrophysiology devices market is characterized by a high level of M&A activities. The main reason for the frequent acquisitions in this market is 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.

The stringent regulatory framework for approval and commercialization of electrophysiology devices impedes market growth. Compliance with regulatory standards further increases overall innovation, manufacturing, and development costs.

This market gives companies the opportunity to expand their geographic presence and product portfolios through strategic partnerships and product launches. The market participants are collaborating with healthcare providers and research institutes to research and develop niche EP devices.

The EP market has noticed a considerable rise in end-user concentration in past decade. With increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, rising cases of neurological disorders, such as epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, etc., and growing geriatric population globally, the market is growing further. Whether Inpatient Facilities, Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs), or other healthcare centers are adopting advanced ablation technologies for improved procedural accuracy and patient outcomes.

Device Type Insights

Based on device type, the ablation catheters segment accounted for the largest revenue share of 45.6% in 2023. An ablation catheter is used to control irregular heartbeats that cannot be treated with medication. The ablation catheters 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 dominance of the segment. For instance, in January 2022, Abbott received approval for EnSite X EP System with EnSite omnipolar technology from the U.S. FDA for cardiac arrhythmias treatment.

The diagnostic catheters segment is anticipated to register 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, angiography catheters, and others. In November 2021, Koninklijke Philips N.V. acquired Cardiologs, a medical technology firm based in France. The acquisition was to expand cardiac monitoring and diagnostics portfolio of Philips with the company’s AI and cloud technology.

Indication Insights

The atrial fibrillation segment dominated the market in 2023 and accounted for the maximum revenue share of 62.2%. 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 will 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 initiative to involve arrhythmia care in their treatment routine. In May 2018, UNC AFib Care Network launched a new clinic for atrial fibrillation patients - AFib Integrated Care Clinic.

End-use Insights

The inpatient facility segment accounted for the highest share of 81.7% of the global revenue in 2023. 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. As per a study published in April 2018, daily short-term rhythm strip recordings identified an increase of 13.0% in the elderly population hospitalized for atrial fibrillation, leading to an overall prevalence of 46.0% in hospitalized patients.

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 are augmenting the segment growth. For instance, a study by Health Affairs revealed that ASC procedures are cost and time-effective. It takes around 25% less time compared to the Inpatient Facilities, with USD 360 to 1,000 savings per patient owing to the lesser fixed costs. Furthermore, government initiatives to reduce the cost of treatment and favor reimbursement policies are propelling the 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.

Regional Insights

North America dominated the industry in 2023 and accounted for the maximum share of 48.3% of the global revenue due to the high cases of heart failure, cardiac arrest, and cardiac arrhythmia. The presence of sophisticated healthcare infrastructure and favorable reimbursement policies are expected to drive the region’s growth during the forecast period.
