ECG monitoring devices are medical instruments designed to track and record the heart's electrical activity over time. They monitor heart rhythms, electrical signals, and the heart's overall performance, helping in the diagnosis of heart-related disorders.
ECG monitoring equipment primarily includes resting electrocardiogram systems, Holter monitoring systems, stress ECG monitors, event monitoring systems, and other related types. Resting electrocardiogram systems are diagnostic tools used to record the heart's electrical activity when the patient is at rest. These systems come in two forms, wireless and wired. They are utilized by a variety of healthcare settings, including hospitals, ambulatory care centers, and other medical 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 ECG monitoring equipment market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides ECG monitoring equipment market statistics, including ECG monitoring equipment industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a ECG monitoring equipment market share, detailed ECG monitoring equipment market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the ECG monitoring equipment industry. This ECG monitoring 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 ecg monitoring equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.92 billion in 2024 to $5.25 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in the demand for early diagnosis, rise in the number of health insurance policies, growth in the number of healthcare facilities, rise in the demand for portable and wearable ECG devices, and growth in the focus on personalized healthcare services.
The ecg monitoring equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.91 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing healthcare investments, increasing geriatric population growth, rising awareness of preventive healthcare, growing demand for telemedicine, and increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements, telemedicine, wearable ECG monitors, diagnostic devices, and home-based monitoring.
The forecast of 7.1% 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 wireless telemetry modules and arrhythmia detection algorithms, sourced from key regions such as Sweden and Canada, which could lead to delayed cardiac event detection and higher costs for remote patient monitoring.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 expected to drive the growth of the ECG monitoring equipment market in the future. Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) encompass various disorders affecting the heart and blood vessels, including conditions such as heart disease, stroke, and hypertension. The increasing prevalence of CVD is largely attributed to factors such as unhealthy lifestyles, poor diet, lack of physical activity, rising obesity rates, aging populations, and a higher prevalence of risk factors such as hypertension and diabetes. ECG monitoring equipment plays a crucial role for CVD patients by providing continuous, real-time data on heart activity, facilitating early detection of irregularities, enabling timely intervention, and effectively managing conditions such as arrhythmias, heart failure, and ischemic heart disease, ultimately improving patient outcomes and minimizing the risk of severe complications. For example, in September 2024, data from the British Heart Foundation, a UK-based cardiovascular research charity, indicated that approximately 7.6 million people in the UK are affected by heart and circulatory diseases, with around 4 million males and 3.6 million females living with these conditions. These diseases account for 27% of all deaths in the UK, resulting in over 170,000 deaths annually, or roughly 480 deaths per day. Consequently, the rising incidence of cardiovascular diseases is expected to drive the demand for ECG monitoring equipment.
Key companies in the ECG monitoring equipment market are focusing on advanced products such as reusable ECG patches, which offer enhanced comfort, longer wearability, and continuous monitoring capabilities, improving patient adherence and enabling more accurate long-term cardiac assessments. Reusable ECG devices are designed for continuous or intermittent heart activity monitoring, allowing them to be cleaned, sterilized, and reused multiple times. For instance, in May 2024, Vivalink, a Canadian company specializing in wearable medical devices, launched a turnkey ambulatory cardiac monitoring solution. This system, tailored for remote cardiac health monitoring, includes reusable ECG patches with long battery life, ample data storage capacity, mobile apps for real-time data transmission, and clinician portals for detailed analysis and customizable reporting. The goal is to simplify cardiac monitoring deployment, improve diagnostic precision, enhance patient outcomes, and reduce operational challenges and costs for healthcare providers.
In May 2024, WearLinq, a US-based healthcare technology company, acquired AMI Cardiac Monitoring for $6.7 million. This acquisition aims to expand WearLinq's clinical services nationwide and enhance its diagnostic capabilities with advanced cardiac monitoring technology. AMI Cardiac Monitoring specializes in cardiac monitoring solutions.
