The global external defibrillators market size reached USD 3.6 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 6.7 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 6.87% during 2025-2033. The rising incidence of cardiovascular diseases, expanding aging population, increasing government initiatives, and ongoing technological advancements are primarily driving the market's growth.
External defibrillators are compact, life-saving devices designed to treat individuals experiencing sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). They analyze the heart rhythm and deliver an electric shock to restore normal heart rhythm. They include a battery and pad electrodes necessary for the external defibrillators to detect and interpret an electrocardiogram. They provide voice and visual prompts to guide the healthcare personnel through the entire process from when the device is first switched on. They can also be used by non-medical personnel, including firefighters, police officers, lifeguards, flight attendants, security guards, teachers, family members of high-risk persons, and bystanders.
The widespread prevalence of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) determined by the loss of mechanical cardiac function and the absence of systemic circulation, which is a leading cause of mortality among adults, represents one of the key factors impelling the growth of the market. Moreover, there is a significant rise in the number of people with hypertension, diabetes, and obesity on account of unhealthy diets, physical inactivity, and the increasing consumption of tobacco and alcohol. These intermediate risk factors can be evaluated in primary care facilities and indicate an increased risk of a heart attack, stroke, and other complications. Besides this, external defibrillators are increasingly being kept in public areas, such as sports venues, shopping malls, airports, aircraft, businesses, convention centers, hotels, schools, and offices. Some external defibrillators are equipped with pediatric attenuator systems to reduce the delivered energy to a dose suitable for children. Apart from this, modern external defibrillators are inexpensive, easy to operate, and safe for users. This, coupled with rising technological advancements, is positively influencing the market.
