Stress test equipment is used in medical settings to assess cardiovascular function and detect abnormalities by subjecting the body to controlled physical or pharmacological stress. These tests help evaluate cardiac function, detect coronary artery disease, assess exercise tolerance, and determine cardiovascular risk factors.
The main types of stress test equipment include treadmill stress test systems, ergometry equipment, cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) equipment, exercise ECG systems, echocardiograms, and supplies and accessories. Treadmill stress test systems use exercise with electrocardiography (ECG) and blood pressure monitoring to assess the heart's response to external stress in a clinical setting. These systems can utilize various technologies, including wired and wireless, and are used by hospitals, diagnostic centers, ambulatory care centers, research institutes, 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 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 stress tests equipment market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides stress tests equipment market statistics, including stress tests equipment industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a stress tests equipment market share, detailed stress tests equipment market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the stress tests equipment industry. This stress tests 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 stress tests equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.99 billion in 2024 to $3.19 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, aging population, healthcare infrastructure development, healthcare expenditure, awareness programs.
The stress tests equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.08 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to remote monitoring solutions, personalized medicine, telemedicine expansion, data analytics and connectivity, emphasis on preventive healthcare. Major trends in the forecast period include integration of remote monitoring technologies, advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning, rise of portable and wearable devices, emphasis on non-invasive testing methods, shift towards multimodal imaging solutions.
The forecast of 6.3% 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 supply chain disruptions for critical components like electrocardiogram (ECG) sensors and treadmill motor systems, sourced from key regions such as Netherlands, Taiwan, and Israel, which could lead to shortages in cardiac diagnostic tools and higher testing costs.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 cardiovascular diseases is anticipated to drive the growth of the stress tests equipment market in the future. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) encompasses various conditions that impact the heart or blood vessels, including coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, peripheral arterial disease, and rheumatic heart disease. A stroke, a type of cardiovascular disease, occurs when blood flow to a portion of the brain is interrupted, resulting in lasting brain damage, long-term disability, or even death. Stress testing equipment is essential for diagnosing specific heart conditions, such as coronary artery disease and angina, which aids in the early detection and prevention of cardiovascular diseases. For example, a report from the British Heart Foundation (BHF), a UK-based charity that funds research and raises awareness about heart and circulatory diseases, stated in September 2024 that approximately 7.6 million individuals in the UK are affected by heart and circulatory diseases. By 2030, this number is projected to increase by 1 million, and by 2040, it may rise by an additional 2 million, on top of the current figures. Consequently, the growing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases is fueling the expansion of the stress tests equipment market.
Key players in the stress testing equipment market are developing innovative products, such as 3D intracardiac echocardiography, to improve the accuracy of cardiac imaging and deliver real-time, detailed evaluations of heart structures during stress testing and other cardiac procedures. 3D Intracardiac Echocardiography (ICE) is a sophisticated imaging method that employs a specialized catheter equipped with an ultrasound probe to generate three-dimensional images of the heart from within the heart chambers or adjacent vessels. For example, in May 2024, Koninklijke Philips N.V., a health technology company based in the Netherlands, introduced the VeriSight Pro catheter in hospitals in Hong Kong. The VeriSight Pro catheter offers 3D intracardiac echocardiography, delivering high-quality 2D and 3D live imaging that is essential for navigating intricate interventional procedures. It enables the simultaneous viewing of multiple scan planes, enhancing procedural accuracy. Its design reduces the need for sedation or general anesthesia, potentially resulting in quicker workflows and shorter procedure durations.
In January 2023, CAIRE Inc., a US-based global manufacturer of oxygen supply equipment, acquired MGC Diagnostics Holdings Inc. for $170.2 million. This acquisition marks a strategic move for CAIRE, expanding its clinical healthcare portfolio and accelerating its growth. The acquisition also enhances CAIRE's access to diagnostic solutions, diversifies its offerings, and represents a significant financial investment. MGC Diagnostics Holdings Inc. is a US-based provider of stress test equipment, including metabolic stress testing systems with pulmonary function capabilities.
