An electrocardiogram (ECG) chest strap shirt is a wearable device designed to continuously monitor heart activity by capturing ECG signals directly from the chest. It records real-time ECG data while remaining comfortable for daily use or exercise. It helps track heart rate, detect arrhythmias, and provide actionable cardiac information for fitness, health monitoring, or clinical evaluation.
The main product types of electrocardiogram (ECG) chest strap shirts include single-lead and multi-lead versions. A single-lead ECG chest strap shirt is a wearable garment embedded with sensors that measure the heart's electrical activity from one primary lead or perspective. These products are distributed through online stores, specialty shops, retail pharmacies, and other channels, and serve end users such as hospitals and clinics, home-care environments, sports and fitness centers, 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.

This electrocardiogram (ECG) chest strap shirt 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 electrocardiogram (ECG) chest strap shirt market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $1.23 billion in 2024 to $1.53 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.1%. Growth in the historic period can be attributed to the rising prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, increasing health consciousness and emphasis on preventive care, growing demand from fitness and sports sectors, wider penetration of telecommunication technologies, and expanded adoption of remote patient monitoring (RPM).
The electrocardiogram (ECG) chest strap shirt market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.71 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.7%. Growth in the forecast period can be linked to rising adoption of preventive healthcare practices, increasing awareness of health and fitness, greater focus on home healthcare services, expanding health insurance coverage, and growing corporate wellness initiatives. Major trends expected during the forecast period include wireless transmission of health data, advancements in smart textiles, cloud-based cardiac monitoring, the development of flexible conductive fibers, and the use of machine learning for predictive analytics.
The growing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases is anticipated to drive the expansion of the electrocardiogram (ECG) chest strap shirt market in the coming years. Cardiovascular diseases, which include conditions such as heart attacks, strokes, and hypertension, affect the heart and blood vessels. The rise in these diseases is linked to unhealthy lifestyle choices, including poor diet, physical inactivity, and smoking. ECG chest strap shirts support cardiovascular health management by continuously monitoring heart activity, making them useful for early detection and ongoing tracking of cardiac conditions. By providing real-time data and alerts, these devices help reduce the risk of undiagnosed heart problems, thereby improving patient outcomes and overall heart care. For example, according to the US Centers for Disease Control, approximately 919,032 people in the United States died from cardiovascular disease in 2023, representing 1 in every 3 deaths. Consequently, the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases is fueling the growth of the ECG chest strap shirt market.
Leading companies in the ECG chest strap shirt market are prioritizing the development of advanced products, such as connected ECG shirts, to improve real-time cardiac monitoring and data accuracy. Connected ECG shirts are wearable garments embedded with textile sensors that continuously track heart activity and transmit real-time ECG data, allowing for remote health monitoring and early detection of cardiac abnormalities. For instance, in June 2025, LiveWell, a technology company based in Turkey, launched a Smart ECG T-Shirt designed for continuous real-time cardiac monitoring and early identification of heart irregularities. The shirt incorporates textile sensors that allow uninterrupted ECG monitoring while remaining comfortable for everyday wear. It offers Bluetooth connectivity for seamless data transfer to mobile applications, supports AI-driven arrhythmia detection, and is fully washable without affecting sensor performance.
In June 2025, TRAAK SAS, a France-based provider of sovereign geolocation and tracking solutions for constrained environments, acquired Chronolife SAS for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition enables TRAAK SAS to integrate medically certified, continuous physiological monitoring into its tactical tracking solutions, enhancing its ability to deliver a unified real-time geolocation and biomonitoring system for high-intensity operations. Chronolife SAS, also based in France, specializes in ECG smart shirts for remote cardiac monitoring.
