SAN FRANCISCO, September 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The Global Defibrillator Market is expected to reach USD 15.75 billion by 2020, according to a new report by Grand View Research Inc. Increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases coupled with rising adoption rate of remote and regular patient monitoring is expected to boost the defibrillator market over the forecast period. The market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR 6.8% during the forecast period.

Rising work related stress and exposure to harmful chemicals such as carbon monoxide, lead, arsenic, and unhealthy lifestyle habits are vital causes triggering cardiac diseases. Lack of availability of prompt treatment in case of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is another important factor promoting the growth.

Strategic initiatives by healthcare federal bodies such as the distribution and widespread access of automated external defibrillators (AED) in public buildings and spaces further propels the expansion of the market. This initiative was begun after a study projected that over 700 people die per day due to unavailability of treatment for sudden cardiac arrest.
Implantable cardioverter defibrillator device is expected to report revenue of over 8 billion by 2020 due to enhancement in the technology and reduced number of sudden deaths. External defibrillators are expected to report a CAGR of 7.1% due to new software and smaller implant development. Ilesto DX, a product offered by Biotronik is first of its kind, allowing complete atrial diagnosis with a single defibrillator lead. Home care and public access market together are expected to register lucrative growth with revenue over 1.1 billion by 2020. Faster treatment availability and reduced hospital visits is the principal driver for the development.
