Implantable cardiac rhythm management devices are small battery-operated devices that are surgically inserted inside the body and connected to the heart, playing a crucial role in maintaining and managing heart rhythm.
The primary devices in the category of implantable cardiac rhythm management devices include cardiac resynchronization therapy, defibrillators, and pacemakers. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a specialized treatment designed for severe cardiac rhythm issues. These devices find applications in various conditions such as bradycardia, tachycardia, and others, and are utilized in hospitals, specialty cardiac centers, and other medical settings.
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 implantable cardiac rhythm management device market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides implantable cardiac rhythm management device market statistics, including implantable cardiac rhythm management device industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with implantable cardiac rhythm management device market share, detailed implantable cardiac rhythm management device market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the implantable cardiac rhythm management device industry. This implantable cardiac rhythm management device 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 implantable cardiac rhythm management device market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $17.06 billion in 2024 to $17.7 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the aging population, increasing incidence of cardiac arrhythmias, awareness and education initiatives, healthcare infrastructure development, and rising healthcare expenditure.
The implantable cardiac rhythm management device market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $23.15 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to a shift towards leadless devices, remote patient monitoring, a focus on heart failure management, increased adoption in emerging markets, and collaborations for research and development. Major trends in the forecast period include the emergence of bioresorbable technologies, integration of artificial intelligence (AI), advancements in technology, remote monitoring and telemedicine integration, advancements in leadless pacemakers, wireless charging, and power management.
The forecast of 6.9% growth over the next five years indicates a slight reduction of 0.1% 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 tariffs on long-life lithium batteries and biocompatible lead insulation materials, sourced from key regions such as Mexico and Denmark, which could lead to postponed pacemaker/defibrillator implants and higher costs for cardiac care.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.
The rising incidence of cardiac disorders is anticipated to significantly enhance the growth of the implantable cardiac rhythm management devices market. Cardiac disorders refer to conditions that impact the heart or blood vessels. Implantable cardiac rhythm management devices are designed to assist patients with heart failure and diminished left ventricular function by improving systolic function through the resynchronization of heart contractions and restoring normal rhythm during life-threatening rapid ventricular arrhythmias. As a result, the growing prevalence of cardiac disorders will drive demand for these devices. For instance, in September 2024, data from the British Heart Foundation, a UK-based cardiovascular research charity, revealed that approximately 7.6 million individuals in the UK are affected by heart and circulatory diseases. This includes about 4 million men and 3.6 million women living with these conditions, which account for roughly 27% of all deaths in the UK, translating to over 170,000 fatalities each year, or about 480 deaths per day-equivalent to one death every three minutes. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of cardiac disorders is a key factor propelling the growth of the implantable cardiac rhythm management devices market.
The growing aging population is anticipated to significantly drive the growth of the implantable cardiac rhythm management devices market in the coming years. An aging population refers to a demographic trend where a significant portion of a country's citizens are becoming older, leading to a higher average age among its residents. Implantable cardiac rhythm management devices are frequently utilized within this demographic to address and manage various heart-related issues. For example, in January 2024, the Population Reference Bureau, a US-based nonprofit organization, projected that the number of Americans aged 65 and older will rise from 58 million in 2022 to 82 million by 2050, marking a 47% increase. Additionally, this age group's proportion of the total population is expected to increase from 17% to 23% over the same period. Consequently, the expanding aging population is a key factor propelling the growth of the implantable cardiac rhythm management devices market.
Technological advancement stands out as a prominent trend in the implantable cardiac rhythm management devices market, with major companies focusing on developing innovative technologies to maintain their market position. Rhythm Management Group PLLC, a US-based company, introduced RhythmSynergy in April 2022, a technology platform that utilizes machine learning to deliver timely clinical insights for patients monitored remotely with implantable cardiac devices and wearable devices. This platform streamlines the review processes by combining clinical knowledge and machine learning technologies, making it simpler to review, share, and analyze patient data.
Major companies in the implantable cardiac rhythm management devices market prioritize the launch of innovative products such as implantable cardiac defibrillators. In October 2023, MicroPort CRM, a France-based manufacturer, launched the ULYS Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICDs) and INVICTA defibrillation implantable devices. The ULYS ICD integrates cutting-edge technology with minimal energy consumption, featuring the AutoMRI function and PARAD arrhythmia discrimination algorithm. The INVICTA defibrillation lead consistently senses electrical signals from the right ventricle, providing pacing therapy if the heart rate is too low.
In August 2022, Medtronic, a US-based medical technology company, completed the acquisition of Affera Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition grants Medtronic access to the Affera Prism-1TM cardiac mapping and navigation platform, compatible with both Medtronic therapeutic catheters and various competing technologies. Affera Inc., a US-based medical technology company, specializes in manufacturing cardiac mapping and navigation systems for treating patients with cardiac arrhythmias.
