Cardiac Rhythm Management Devices Market size was valued at US$ 16,988.23 Million in 2024, expanding at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2025 to 2032.
Cardiac Rhythm Management (CRM) devices are medical instruments used to diagnose, monitor, and treat heart rhythm disorders, including arrhythmias such as bradycardia (slow heart rate) and tachycardia (fast heart rate). These devices include pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices, external defibrillators, and cardiac loop recorders. CRM aims to restore and maintain normal cardiac rhythm, improving patient outcomes and quality of life. The development of next-generation devices with advanced features creates avenues for expanding CRM applications. Emerging markets with growing healthcare access and rising cardiovascular disease burdens also present significant growth potential. However, challenges include high costs of CRM devices and procedures, limited reimbursement in certain regions, regulatory hurdles, and potential complications like device-related infections and lead failures.
Cardiac Rhythm Management Devices Market- Market Dynamics
Rising prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs)
As the world's population ages, the incidence of cardiac rhythm disorders increases significantly because age is a key risk factor for arrhythmias and heart failure. This demographic shift toward an older population combined with lifestyle-related conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and sedentary habits contributes to a growing patient pool requiring CRM devices. According to the, National Centre for Health Statistics, published in September 2024, by U.S. government, during August 2021-August 2023, the prevalence of obesity in adults was 40.3%, with no significant differences between men and women. Obesity prevalence was higher in adults ages 40-59 than in ages 20-39 and 60 and older. These devices, including pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices, are critical for managing abnormal heartbeats and improving cardiac function and patient quality of life. The growing disease burden creates sustained demand for new and more advanced CRM solutions. Moreover, increased awareness and adoption of preventive healthcare measures elevate the use of these technologies to prevent complications related to untreated arrhythmias.

The Global Cardiac Rhythm Management Devices Market is segmented on the basis of Product Type, Application, End-User, Distribution Channel, and Region.
The market is divided into five categories based on Product Type: Pacemakers, Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICDs), Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) Devices, External Defibrillators, and Cardiac Loop Recorders & Monitoring Devices. Pacemakers regulate slow heart rhythms by sending electrical impulses. Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICDs) detect and shock dangerously fast rhythms to restore normal heartbeat. Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) devices coordinate heart chamber contractions. External defibrillators deliver emergency shocks, and cardiac loop recorders monitor heart activity over time.
The market is divided into four categories based on Application: Bradycardia, Tachycardia, Heart Failure Management, Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) Prevention, Atrial Fibrillation Management, and Others. Bradycardia treatment restores slow heart rates causing dizziness or fatigue; Tachycardia control manages fast, irregular rhythms; Heart failure management improves heart pumping via resynchronization therapy. Sudden Cardiac Arrest prevention uses defibrillators; Atrial Fibrillation management controls irregular atrial rhythms; others include congenital blocks and syncope treatment.
Cardiac Rhythm Management Devices Market- Geographical Insights
The cardiac rhythm management (CRM) devices market is witnessing significant growth, driven by rising cardiovascular disease prevalence, especially in aging populations worldwide. Geographically, North America holds the largest market share in 2024. The region benefits from advanced healthcare infrastructure, high healthcare expenditure, widespread awareness, and early adoption of cutting-edge technology. Europe, including both Western and Eastern parts, also contributes significantly with strong demand driven by a large elderly population, established healthcare systems, and increasing adoption of remote cardiac monitoring technologies. The Asia-Pacific region is considered the fastest-growing market owing to improving healthcare infrastructure, rising economic growth, increasing awareness about cardiovascular health, and expanding geriatric populations. Latin America and the Middle East & Africa represent emerging markets with gradually increasing adoption. Factors such as expanding healthcare access, rising incidence of cardiovascular diseases, and medical tourism contribute to growth. However, these regions face challenges like limited healthcare infrastructure and affordability constraints
The cardiac rhythm management (CRM) devices market is led by a competitive landscape dominated by several key global players. Medtronic plc is recognized as the largest player with a comprehensive portfolio covering pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices. They continuously invest in research and development to introduce advanced technologies like leadless pacemakers, remote monitoring capabilities, and AI-enabled diagnostics to improve patient outcomes. For instance, in December 2023, Medtronic plc announced that U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved PulseSelect Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) System for treatment of paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation Abbott Laboratories competes strongly, especially in ICD and CRT segments, focusing on minimally invasive devices and integrating digital health tools in patient management. Boston Scientific Corporation is known for its innovations in external defibrillators and advanced cardiac monitoring systems, including remote and wearable technologies. Biotronik SE & Co. KG and MicroPort Scientific Corporation CRM are also significant contributors, with Biotronik SE & Co. KG emphasizing leadless pacemakers, wearable monitors, and emerging markets expansion.
As of July 2025, GE HealthCare has secured 100 FDA authorizations for AI-integrated medical devices, marking the fourth consecutive year it leads its competitors. The company aims to surpass 200 such approvals by 2028, reflecting its strong commitment to advancing AI-driven healthcare technologies.
In September 2024, Medtronic plc launched a leadless pacemaker equipped with remote monitoring capabilities, enhancing patient care through reduced complications and improved follow-up.
