The electrocardiogram (ECG) patch and Holter monitor are wearable medical devices designed for continuous heart rhythm monitoring. The ECG patch provides a discreet and flexible solution generally used for shorter periods, while the Holter monitor offers extensive data collection over longer durations, allowing for precise detection and analysis of cardiac abnormalities.
The primary product types in ECG patch and holter monitor include electrocardiogram (ECG) patches and Holter monitors. An ECG patch is a compact, wearable device that continuously tracks the heart's electrical activity over several days. These devices are used for diagnostics and monitoring, serving a range of end-users such as hospitals and clinics, ambulatory facilities, and others.
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.

This ECG patch and holter monitor 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 ecg patch and holter monitor market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.44 billion in 2024 to $1.63 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to technological advancements, rising incidence of cardiovascular diseases, growing geriatric population, shift toward ambulatory and home healthcare, and increasing healthcare expenditure.
The ecg patch and holter monitor market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.77 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to an aging population, growing awareness and screening programs, adoption of wearable technology, regulatory approvals, and home healthcare trends. Major trends in the forecast period include increased adoption of wearable technology, advancements in sensor technology, a rise in cardiovascular diseases, and telemedicine and remote monitoring.
The forecast of 14.2% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.2% 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 flexible printed circuits and extended-wear adhesives, sourced from key regions such as Ireland and Denmark, which could lead to reduced ambulatory monitoring options and increased costs for long-term cardiac assessment.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 increasing incidence of cardiovascular disorders is expected to drive the growth of the ECG patch and holter monitor market in the future. Cardiovascular disorders, which affect the heart and blood vessels, include conditions such as coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, and hypertension. These conditions can lead to severe health issues such as heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular events. The rising rate of cardiovascular disorders is attributed to growing risk factors such as sedentary lifestyles, poor diets, obesity, and aging populations. ECG patch and holter monitor are used for continuous heart rhythm monitoring to detect and diagnose arrhythmias and other cardiac abnormalities. For example, in January 2024, the American Heart Association reported a slight increase in cardiovascular-related deaths, with the total number rising to 931,578, up by 3,000 from the previous year's 928,741. Consequently, the growing incidence of cardiovascular disorders is fueling the expansion of the ECG patch and holter monitor market.
Leading companies in the ECG patch and holter monitor market are increasingly focusing on developing advanced sensors, such as artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled ECG patches, to maintain their competitive edge. AI-enabled ECG patches are sophisticated wearable devices that integrate electrocardiogram technology with AI. They continuously monitor heart rhythms, analyze data in real-time, and offer precise and early detection of cardiac abnormalities, thus improving the accuracy and efficiency of cardiovascular care. For example, in August 2022, SmartCardia SA, a Switzerland-based medical device firm, introduced its groundbreaking 7L Cardiac Monitoring Patch. This advanced device aims to transform patient monitoring in cardiology by combining medical wearable technology with AI to provide predictive and personalized health insights through remote monitoring. The 7L patch, which has earned CE Class IIa certification, employs a sophisticated AI platform developed from millions of ECG segments analyzed by cardiologists and certified technicians, allowing for real-time detection of critical arrhythmia events with cardiologist-level precision.
In May 2024, Wear LINQ, a US-based company specializing in wearable health monitoring and diagnostic solutions, acquired AMI Cardiac Monitoring LLC for an undisclosed sum. This strategic acquisition is intended to significantly boost WearLinq's clinical services nationwide, offering expanded access to its cutting-edge eWave 6-lead wearable ECG monitor, which has recently obtained FDA 510(k) clearance. AMI Cardiac Monitoring LLC, also based in the US, offers ECG patch and holter monitors as part of its ambulatory cardiac monitoring services.
