First off, there are more and more people dealing with heart problems, and we also have a growing elderly population. Then there's all the cool new tech coming out, with companies putting more money into it. For example, the British Heart Foundation said that back in 2021, over 7.6 million folks in the UK had some kind of heart or circulatory issue. As heart problems become more common, the need for these automated defibrillators goes up too. All these things are expected to keep the market growing for the foreseeable future. Want a deep dive? The Global Automated External Defibrillator Market report gives you the whole picture. It breaks down everything from key segments and trends to what's helping and hurting the market, who the big players are, and all the other important stuff.

Global Automated External Defibrillator Market Definition

In an emergency, a portable medical device known as an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is used to treat sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). SCA, which occurs when the heart abruptly stops working, can be deadly if not treated promptly. The AED is designed to evaluate the heart’s rhythm and provide an electric shock to restore it to normal. It does this by the defibrillation process, which involves administering a controlled electric shock to the heart. The electric shock helps to depolarize the heart muscle, allowing the body’s own pacemaker to reestablish a normal rhythm.

AEDs are simple to use and are typically designed for non-medical personnel to use, such as bystanders or first responders. A portable, light-weight device with visual and audio signals to guide the user through each stage of operation is a characteristic component of these gadgets. The apparatus’s built-in sensors examine the victim’s pulse to decide whether a shock is required. The rescuer must tie electrode pads to the victim’s chest in order for an AED to monitor the victim’s cardiac rhythm.

If the AED detects a shockable rhythm, it will alert the rescuer to stand back and give a shock. The shock’s purpose is to stop the irregular beating and allow the heart to reset and resume normal function. It is critical to remember that AEDs are only one link in the chain of survival for cardiac arrest. Early access to emergency medical services (EMS) and timely cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are also critical. AEDs, when paired with CPR and prompt medical intervention, can significantly enhance the probability of survival.

Global Automated External Defibrillator Market Overview

We're seeing the market grow, largely because we have more and more older adults, and unfortunately, they often have CVD. Age really impacts how well your heart works, making older folks more susceptible to chronic illnesses like diabetes and, yes, CVDs. A Population Reference Bureau study from 2018 even suggests that in the US, the number of people 65 and older could jump from 46 million to over 98 million between 2014 and 2060! This increasing geriatric population is a big driver for market growth during this time. As we get older, our heart rhythms can change, and our blood vessels can stiffen, which, sadly, increases the odds of developing CVDs.

The market’s expansion is being aided by technical advancements in the sector and the introduction of new products by industry participants. AEDs now have rechargeable batteries, LCD displays, voice prompts, CPR classes, improved self-testing software, totally autonomous operation, and novel forms of shocks.  Through Real BVM HelpTM Technology, clinicians receive real-time input on both the volume and rate of bag valve mask (BVM) ventilation for intubated or non-intubated patients, and rescuers are led by a ventilation quality indicator, propelling the market growth.

Okay, so the big problem is cost – it's expensive for both you and the companies making this stuff, which is slowing down how many people can get AEDs. Think about itThe American Heart Association says you should really consider having an AED around if there’s even a 20% chance you’ll need it each year. But these AEDs aren't cheap to develop either; research and development eats up a huge chunk of the budget for manufacturers. We're talking high-voltage components, like (2-6)KV capacitors! Plus, imagine the nightmareif even one of these devices malfunctions and someone dies, the whole darn series gets recalled. That could cost the company millions, maybe even billions. And don't forget all those regulatory hurdles and FDA fees – all of that just keeps pushing the price up and limiting how many AEDs are out there.

Increasing defibrillator training and awareness programs are likely to boost the growth of the Global Automated External Defibrillator Market during the forecast period. GAA, for example, will initiate a defibrillator awareness project in March 2021. The scheme enables groups to gather funds for new AEDs that are linked to the internet via the mobile phone network. This implies that automated external defibrillators will check and warn users through email if there is a problem.

Global Automated External Defibrillator MarketSegmentation Analysis

The Global Automated External Defibrillator Market is Segmented on the basis of Type, Technology, End-Use, and Geography.

Automated External Defibrillator Market, By Type

• Wearable
• Non-Wearable

Based on Type, the market is segmented into Wearable and Non-Wearable. Over the projected period, revenue from the wearable segment is estimated to account for the majority of revenue. A Wearable External Defibrillator (WED) is a non-invasive, external device used to treat people who are in danger of having a heart attack. It allows clinicians adequate time to assess their patients’ arrhythmic risk and devise appropriate treatment options. If a potentially fatal cardiac rhythm is detected, the device can provide a treatment shock to restore normal heart rhythm.

Automated External Defibrillator Market, By Technology

• Semi-Automatic Defibrillator
• Fully Automatic Defibrillator

When it comes to how they work, defibrillators break down into two main typesSemi-Automatic and Fully Automatic. Looking ahead, we're expecting the fully automatic type to really take off in terms of sales. Why? Well, these gadgets are made to help even hesitant folks jump into action when someone's having a cardiac arrest. Studies show that these fully automatic AEDs are safe and work well, plus they can help avoid those nerve-wracking delays when people are scared to push the shock button. Think of PADs – they're totally automated! Because they're so user-friendly and give clear instructions, pretty much anyone who can hold the device and listen can use them. That makes fully automated defibrillators a great choice for public spaces.

Automated External Defibrillator Market, By End-Use

• Hospitals and Clinics
• Specialized Cardiovascular Disease Treatment Centers
• Ambulatory Surgery Centers
• Others

Based on End-use, the market is segmented into Hospitals and Clinics, Specialized Cardiovascular Disease Treatment Centers, Ambulatory Surgery Centers, Others. The hospitals and clinics segment is predicted to rise rapidly throughout the forecast period, owing to an increase in the number of patients visiting hospitals, the implementation of new business strategies by key manufacturers, and the increased usage of AED by hospitals.

Automated External Defibrillator Market, By Geography

• Europe
• Asia Pacific
• Latin America
• Middle East and Africa

Based on Regional Analysis, the Automated External Defibrillator market is classified into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa. North America accounted for the biggest market share because to the expanding geriatric population, technological developments, important market participants, and the introduction of new products. According to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention study issued in September 2021, around 6,59,000 individuals in the United States die from heart illnesses each year, and approximately 8,05,000 people suffer a heart attack each year.

The rising occurrence of heart attacks in the United States is fueling the market’s development. Huge investments in healthcare and the adoption of innovative technology in the healthcare domain fueled market expansion. However, due to increased sedentary lifestyle adoption, alcohol and tobacco consumption, and high CVD incidence, Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing category throughout the projection period. Asia accounted for 58 percent of the 18.6 million CVD deaths worldwide in 2019.
