Cardiac assist devices and equipment are electromechanical devices designed to aid in pumping blood from the heart to the rest of the body. These devices are used to either partially or fully replace the function of a failing heart. They help enhance blood circulation, alleviate the heart's workload, and can even provide life-saving support in critical situations.
Key types of cardiac assist devices include ventricular assist devices, intra-aortic balloon pumps, and the total artificial heart. Ventricular assist devices are specifically designed electromechanical tools for heart circulation support. These devices come in varied forms, such as transcutaneous and implantable, and find application in hospital pharmacies, ambulatory surgical centers, and emergency services.
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 sharp increase in U.S. tariffs and resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the medical equipment sector, especially for imported components used in imaging machines, surgical-grade stainless steel, and disposable plastics. With hospitals and clinics pushing back against price increases, manufacturers are facing margin pressure. The situation is further complicated by regulatory challenges, as switching suppliers due to tariffs often necessitates re-certification of medical devices, leading to delays in market entry. In response, companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing key components, ramping up domestic production of standardized items, and accelerating research into more cost-effective materials.
The cardiac assist devices and equipment market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides cardiac assist devices and equipment market statistics, including cardiac assist devices and equipment industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a cardiac assist devices and equipment market share, detailed cardiac assist devices and equipment market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the cardiac assist devices and equipment industry. This cardiac assist devices and equipment market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The cardiac assist devices and equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.13 billion in 2024 to $2.35 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.0%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to cardiac arrhythmias prevalence, aging population, clinical guidelines and research, minimally invasive procedures.
The cardiac assist devices and equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.38 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to personalized medicine, global access to healthcare, electrophysiology devices in heart failure management, hybrid procedures. Major trends in the forecast period include 4d mapping and visualization, artificial intelligence (ai) in electrophysiology, regenerative medicine approaches, leadless cardiac pacing.
The forecast of 9.5% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.3% from the previous estimate for this market.This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through supply chain disruptions for centrifugal pump impellers and percutaneous lead components, sourced from key regions such as Germany and Japan, which could lead to delays in life-saving heart failure treatments and increased costs for mechanical circulatory support.The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
A surge in the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is spurring the demand for cardiac assist devices and equipment across both developed and developing economies. The increased necessity for diagnosing, monitoring, early treatment, and prevention of these life-threatening conditions is elevating the need for cardiac assist devices. For instance, as per data from the American Heart Association, an organization based in the United States, projections indicate that by 2035, around 45.1% of the US population is estimated to experience some form of CVD. The total expenses related to CVD are anticipated to reach $1.1 trillion in 2035, encompassing direct medical costs projected at $748.7 billion and indirect costs estimated at $368 billion. This upsurge in cardiovascular disease prevalence is a significant driver behind the expansion of the cardiac assist devices and equipment market.
The anticipated surge in telemedicine services is set to significantly drive the growth of the cardiac assist devices and equipment market. Telemedicine encompasses the use of electronic information and communication technologies to provide healthcare services and support. Its devices and platforms facilitate increased patient engagement in managing their health, monitoring conditions, and communicating with healthcare professionals. These advancements are expected to improve patient outcomes by enabling remote monitoring, early detection of issues, and timely interventions for cardiac patients. For example, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a US-based governmental organization, approximately 37.0% of adults in the United States utilized telemedicine in the previous 12 months in 2021. The adoption of virtual physician visits surged to 80% in 2022, a significant increase from 14% over a span of six years. This rise in telemedicine services is a driving force behind the expansion of the cardiac assist devices and equipment market.
Leading enterprises within the cardiac assist devices and equipment market are actively engaged in creating groundbreaking solutions, such as the CardioMEMS HF System, aimed at supporting a larger population afflicted by heart failure. The CardioMEMS HF System serves as a wireless monitoring system designed to measure pulmonary artery pressure and heart rate in individuals experiencing heart failure. Notably, in February 2022, Abbott Laboratories, a prominent medical device company headquartered in the United States, secured FDA approval for the CardioMEMS HF System. Leveraging data from this system, healthcare practitioners can make informed decisions about treatments and effectively manage heart failure in patients, potentially aiding in providing prompt care and minimizing heart failure-related hospitalizations.
The trend toward miniaturization of cardiac assist devices is gaining prominence within the market. Shrinking the size of these devices significantly improves the implantation process, potentially reducing hospital stays through minimally invasive procedures like 'Thoracotomy'. Device miniaturization offers an alternative to heart transplantation, particularly given the scarcity of heart donors, serving as a destination therapy. Heartware Ltd. is actively investing in a device miniaturization initiative to decrease the weight, size, and energy consumption of their devices. Additionally, the United Kingdom's National Health Service has initiated a Bridge to Transplant program (BTT), comparing the performance of two minimally invasive cardiac assist devices to determine the most effective and cost-efficient option, predominantly due to its miniaturized design.
In December 2022, Johnson & Johnson, a prominent US pharmaceutical company, finalized the purchase of Abiomed for a sum of $16.6 billion. Through this acquisition, Johnson & Johnson incorporates heart recovery solutions that align with its Biosense Webster electrophysiology business, facilitating expansion in rapidly growing markets. Abiomed, a US-based medical device company renowned for producing heart pumps, is now part of Johnson & Johnson's strategic portfolio.
