Pulsed field ablation is a minimally invasive cardiac procedure that delivers short bursts of high-voltage electrical pulses to selectively target and destroy abnormal heart tissue responsible for arrhythmias. This approach allows for precise ablation with minimal damage to surrounding tissues, offering a safer alternative to traditional ablation methods. It is increasingly used in the treatment of conditions such as atrial fibrillation.
The primary components of pulsed field ablation systems include catheters and generators. Catheters are flexible, tube-like medical instruments inserted into the body for the delivery or removal of fluids, as well as for performing diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. The key clinical indications for pulsed field ablation are atrial fibrillation and non-atrial fibrillation arrhythmias. Different ablation energy sources include pulsed field energy alone, pulsed field combined with radiofrequency energy, and pulsed field combined with cryoablation energy. The technology is used in various application areas such as ablation only or combined ablation and mapping. Major end users include hospitals, cardiac catheterization labs, ambulatory surgical centers, and other healthcare facilities.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The fast surge in U.S. tariffs and the trade tensions that followed in spring 2025 are heavily affecting the medical equipment sector, particularly for imported imaging machine components, surgical-grade stainless steel, and plastic disposables. Hospitals and clinics resist price hikes, pressuring manufacturers' margins. Regulatory hurdles compound the problem, as tariff-related supplier changes often require re-certification of devices, delaying time-to-market. Companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing critical parts, expanding domestic production of commoditized items, and accelerating R&D in cost-efficient materials.

This pulsed field ablation market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The pulsed field ablation market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $0.64 billion in 2024 to $0.80 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.5%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the increasing adoption of minimally invasive cardiac procedures, the rising prevalence of atrial fibrillation, growing awareness of advanced ablation technologies, increased investment in cardiac electrophysiology research, and a heightened demand for safer and more efficient ablation methods.
The pulsed field ablation market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.91 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing adoption of pulsed field ablation technology, a rising incidence of cardiac arrhythmias, growing investments in research and development, expanding awareness among healthcare providers, and the escalating demand for minimally invasive cardiac treatments. Key trends expected during this period include advancements in pulsed field ablation devices, innovations in catheter design, integration of imaging technologies with ablation systems, increased use of artificial intelligence for optimizing procedures, and the development of portable and user-friendly ablation platforms.
The increasing prevalence of atrial fibrillation is expected to drive the growth of the pulsed field ablation market. Atrial fibrillation is characterized by an irregular and often rapid heart rhythm that elevates the risk of stroke and other heart-related complications. This condition is becoming more common due to the aging population, as older individuals are significantly more likely to develop atrial fibrillation. Pulsed field ablation treats this condition by using controlled electrical pulses to precisely destroy abnormal heart tissue that causes irregular rhythms. It offers a quicker, safer, and more targeted alternative compared to traditional ablation techniques. For example, in December 2024, the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare reported that atrial fibrillation caused 2,600 deaths and contributed to 15,500 more in Australia in 2022. Death rates were 1.3 times higher among males, and over 62% of deaths occurred in people aged 85 and older, who faced up to 7.4 times greater risk than those aged 75-84. As a result, the rising incidence of atrial fibrillation is contributing to the expansion of the pulsed field ablation market.
Leading companies in the pulsed field ablation (PFA) market are focusing on innovative technologies such as selective tissue ablation to improve procedural safety and effectiveness. This approach targets only the diseased tissues while preserving surrounding healthy structures, which helps reduce recovery times and enhances long-term outcomes for patients with cardiac arrhythmias. For instance, in March 2025, Abbott, a US-based healthcare firm, received CE Mark approval for its Volt Pulsed Field Ablation System, designed to treat abnormal heart rhythms. The system integrates with Abbott's EnSite X electrophysiology platform, improving visualization and navigation during procedures. The Volt system marks a significant advancement in electrophysiology by increasing procedural efficiency, delivering sharper imaging, and ensuring more accurate ablation for atrial fibrillation treatment. This next-generation technology is set to enhance patient outcomes and optimize cardiac care delivery.
In January 2024, CardioFocus, a US-based medical device company, acquired the electrophysiology division of Galvanize Therapeutics to strengthen its pulsed field ablation offerings. The acquisition includes the CE-marked CENTAURI System and the developmental QuickShot catheter. This strategic move expands CardioFocus's footprint in the electrophysiology sector with both focal and single-shot PFA technologies. Galvanize Therapeutics is a US-based manufacturer known for developing the Aliya Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) system.
