Analyst Review
A defibrillator is a medical device capable of carrying out defibrillation by the delivery of an electric shock to the heart. This results in depolarization of heart muscles leading to re-establishment of normal conduction of the heart’s electrical impulse. Defibrillators are highly used in hospitals, specifically in department such as ICUs, emergency rooms (ER), general wards, and others. These are also used by emergency medical services, fire departments, police, private transport, and others before the patient is taken to a hospital.
The increase in number of patients with cardiovascular diseases is the major factor that drives the growth of the global hospital and pre-hospital external defibrillator market. Other key factors, such as rise in geriatric population, surge in adoption of external defibrillator, and increase in demand for technologically advanced devices drive the growth of the market. However, limited insurance coverage and high cost of defibrillators are anticipated to impede the market growth during the forecast period.
North America is a major shareholder in the global external defibrillators market mainly due to higher prevalence of cardiac disorders, high adoption rate of technologically advanced defibrillators, presence of highly sophisticated healthcare infrastructure, favorable reimbursement framework for defibrillators, and increased patient awareness about the availability of congestive heart failure (CHF) treatment options. However, Asia-Pacific is expected to experience fastest market growth owing to surge in awareness of technologically advanced automated defibrillators and rise in adoption defibrillators within hospitals with development in healthcare infrastructure.
