A smart portable electrocardiogram (ECG) device is a compact and advanced digital health monitoring tool developed to record and analyze the heart's electrical activity in real time. It features high-precision sensors, wireless connectivity, and mobile application integration, allowing continuous, convenient, and remote cardiac monitoring. These devices are widely used for early detection of cardiac irregularities, ongoing health assessment, and the support of telemedicine-based healthcare services.
The primary product categories of smart portable electrocardiogram (ECG) devices include handheld electrocardiogram (ECG) devices, wearable electrocardiogram (ECG) devices, patch-based electrocardiogram (ECG) devices, and others. Handheld electrocardiogram (ECG) devices are compact, portable medical tools that record and monitor heart activity through electrical signals, enabling users to observe cardiac health in real time. These devices function using technologies such as Bluetooth, wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi), universal serial bus (USB), and other systems, and are distributed through both online and offline channels. Major applications include home care, hospitals and clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, and others, with the main end users being personal users, healthcare professionals, 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 fast surge in U.S. tariffs and the trade tensions that followed in spring 2025 are heavily affecting the medical equipment sector, particularly for imported imaging machine components, surgical-grade stainless steel, and plastic disposables. Hospitals and clinics resist price hikes, pressuring manufacturers' margins. Regulatory hurdles compound the problem, as tariff-related supplier changes often require re-certification of devices, delaying time-to-market. Companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing critical parts, expanding domestic production of commoditized items, and accelerating R&D in cost-efficient materials.

The smart portable electrocardiogram (ECG) device market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.81 billion in 2024 to $2.04 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.3%. Growth during the historic period can be attributed to the increasing incidence of lifestyle-related disorders, the growing adoption of portable medical devices, the rising demand for home healthcare monitoring, the expansion of telemedicine services, and the heightened awareness of preventive cardiac care.
The smart portable electrocardiogram (ECG) device market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.20 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.0%. Growth during the forecast period can be attributed to the expanding global elderly population, increasing demand for cost-effective diagnostic solutions, rising healthcare spending in emerging economies, the expansion of remote patient monitoring programs, and growing government support for digital health initiatives. Key trends in the forecast period include technological advancements in wireless ECG devices, innovations in wearable cardiac monitoring, progress in artificial intelligence-based diagnostics, research and development in miniaturized sensors, and greater integration with mobile health applications.
The rising prevalence of cardiovascular diseases is expected to drive the growth of the smart portable electrocardiogram (ECG) device market in the coming years. Cardiovascular diseases are a group of conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels. They are increasingly linked to the growing incidence of hypertension and obesity, which substantially heighten the risk of heart-related disorders. Smart portable electrocardiogram (ECG) devices help address this challenge by enabling early detection and continuous monitoring of heart conditions, supporting timely medical intervention and effective disease management. For instance, in September 2025, according to the UK government, more than 7.6 million people in the country were living with cardiovascular diseases, including over 4 million men and 3.6 million women, with projections indicating an increase of 1 million by 2030 and 2 million by 2040 compared to current figures. Therefore, the rising prevalence of cardiovascular diseases is fueling the expansion of the smart portable electrocardiogram (ECG) device market.
Leading companies in the smart portable electrocardiogram (ECG) device market are developing advanced solutions such as artificial intelligence-powered ECG systems to improve the accuracy and accessibility of cardiac diagnostics. Artificial intelligence-powered ECG systems are devices that utilize artificial intelligence to automatically analyze heart signals, enabling faster and more precise identification of cardiac abnormalities. For example, in September 2025, AliveCor, a US-based medical device company, introduced the Kardia 12L handheld ECG system in India after receiving approval from the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO). This innovative system allows healthcare professionals to conduct 12-lead ECG tests anytime and anywhere using a single-cable configuration. It provides AI-enhanced ECG interpretation for quick detection of heart irregularities while offering high portability and user convenience. Integrated with AliveCor's digital health platform, the Kardia 12L system enhances cardiac data management, supports remote consultations, and boosts diagnostic efficiency, thereby improving patient care and expanding access to advanced cardiac monitoring technologies.
In May 2024, Wear Linq, a US-based digital healthcare company specializing in remote cardiac monitoring solutions, acquired AMI Cardiac Monitoring for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to expand Wear Linq's nationwide clinical services and increase accessibility to its FDA-cleared eWave six-lead wearable ECG monitor, designed for comprehensive and real-time cardiac diagnostics. AMI Cardiac Monitoring is a US-based company that offers portable and smart cardiac event monitors, known as RhythmStar, which provide real-time ECG data for accurate cardiac analysis.
