Cardiac Rhythm Management Devices Market Growth & Trends

The global cardiac rhythm management devices market size is anticipated to reach USD 29.9 billion by 2028, according to a new report by Grand View Research. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 7.4% from 2021 to 2028. The market has shown constant growth in the adoption of cardiac rhythm management (CRM) devices owing to the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular disorders. According to the CDC, as of September 2020, approximately 655,000 Americans die suffering from heart disease every year.

The market was negatively impacted during the COVID-19 pandemic, as elective procedures, including the non-essential cardiovascular procedures, were postponed or canceled during the pandemic. Major players in the market, such as Medtronic, Abbott, and Boston Scientific Corporation, incurred huge losses in their cardiac rhythm management business segments globally. This resulted in negative growth of the market in 2020.

Revolutionary technological progress is rapidly transforming the market. These expansions are producing lucrative potentials. Increase in R&D expenditure and new product launches by leading firms is driving the market. For instance, in October 2020, Abbott launched its new ICD and CRT-D in India, to expand its product portfolio in the country. The company had also received CE Mark approval for its Gallant ICD and CRT-D devices in February 2020. Some of the major market players account for a significant share of the market owing to their extensive product offerings.
