An electrocardiograph (ECG) is a medical device employed to monitor and record the heart's electrical activity over a period of time. The heart's electrical signals are captured using small metal electrodes positioned on the chest, arms, and legs.
Electrocardiographs (ECG) encompass various products, including holter monitors, resting electrocardiographs (ECG), stress electrocardiographs (ECG), event recorders, and others. Holter monitors are portable ECG devices designed to continuously record the heart's activity for 24 to 48 hours. The technologies involved include portable ECG systems and wireless ECG systems with single-lead, 2-lead, 3-lead, 6-lead, and 12-lead configurations. These systems cater to diverse settings such as hospitals, clinics, homes, ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs), and other end users.
Tariffs are impacting the electrocardiograph market by increasing the cost of imported electronic components, sensors, semiconductors, and display modules used in portable and stationary ECG systems. Hospitals and diagnostic centers in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported medical electronics, while Asia-Pacific faces higher manufacturing input costs. These tariffs are raising device prices and extending procurement cycles. However, they are also encouraging localized manufacturing, regional assembly of ECG systems, and investment in domestic medical device production capabilities.
The electrocardiograph (ecg) market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides electrocardiograph (ecg) market statistics, including electrocardiograph (ecg) industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a electrocardiograph (ecg) market share, detailed electrocardiograph (ecg) market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the electrocardiograph (ecg) industry. This electrocardiograph (ecg) 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 electrocardiograph (ecg) market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $9.48 billion in 2025 to $10.36 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, expansion of hospital diagnostic infrastructure, increasing use of non-invasive diagnostic tools, growth in cardiac screening programs, availability of compact ecg systems.
The electrocardiograph (ecg) market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $14.92 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of home-based cardiac monitoring, rising integration of ai-based ecg analysis, growing demand for continuous patient monitoring, expansion of telecardiology services, increasing focus on early disease detection. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of portable and wearable ecg devices, rising integration of wireless ecg monitoring systems, growing use of remote cardiac monitoring solutions, expansion of multi-lead diagnostic capabilities, enhanced focus on continuous heart rhythm monitoring.
The anticipated increase in cases of cardiovascular diseases is expected to drive the growth of the electrocardiograph (ECG) market in the future. Cardiovascular diseases encompass a range of conditions affecting the heart and blood vessels, including coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, and heart valve problems. ECGs play a crucial role in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of various cardiovascular diseases by enabling doctors to assess the heart's electrical activity and detect abnormalities indicative of heart conditions. Given their essential role in diagnosing heart-related conditions, the demand for electrocardiographs is likely to persist and contribute to market growth. For instance, in October 2024, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a US-based government agency, in 2023, cardiovascular disease claimed 919,032 lives, accounting for one in every three deaths. Coronary heart disease remained the most prevalent form of heart disease, and notably, about one in six deaths from cardiovascular diseases occurred among adults younger than 65 years. Consequently, the increasing incidence of cardiovascular diseases is expected to propel the electrocardiograph (ECG) market forward.
Major companies operating in the elastography imaging market are focusing on developing advanced solutions, such as AI-enabled liver elastography systems, to improve diagnostic accuracy, optimize workflows, and enhance patient outcomes. AI-enabled liver elastography systems are sophisticated ultrasound devices that leverage artificial intelligence to assess liver stiffness and detect liver diseases with greater precision and efficiency. For example, in July 2025, AliveCor Inc., a US-based medical device company, launched the Kardia 12L in India, a handheld, AI-powered 12-lead ECG system. It is positioned as the first of its kind with a single-cable, pocket-sized design intended for healthcare professionals and approved by India's CDSCO regulator. The device features a unique single-cable design, can detect 35 cardiac conditions including arrhythmias and acute myocardial infarction, and is highly portable at 135 grams. Battery-operated and pocket-friendly, it requires minimal training, provides quick non-invasive readings without full patient disrobing, and, with CDSCO approval, significantly enhances access to cardiac diagnostics in India.
In May 2024, WearLinq Inc., a US-based company specializing in wearable health monitoring and diagnostic solutions, acquired AMI Cardiac Monitoring for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition is intended to strengthen WearLinq's cardiac health technology capabilities and expand its product range, facilitating the integration of AMI Cardiac Monitoring's innovative solutions to provide more comprehensive monitoring tools for healthcare providers and patients. AMI Cardiac Monitoring LLC is a US-based medical technology firm that offers remote heart monitoring services.
