IMPLANTABLE CARDIOVERTER DEFIBRILLATORS MARKET ANALYSIS

Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators MarketSize and Trends

According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), it is estimated that around 2.7–6.1 million individuals in the U.S. suffered from atrial fibrillation in 2015. The report suggests that the number of occurrences is likely to increase with the increase in number of aging of the population in this region. Roughly 2% of the population who are younger than 65 years of age suffers from AF. However, around 9% of the population with 65 years of age or more suffers from AF. Increasing cases of AF among the global population coupled with advancement in technology will drive the implantable cardioverter-defibrillators market during the forecast period.

High prevalence of arrhythmia will drive the overall implantable cardioverter-defibrillators market

The rising old age population and high occurrence of coronary artery diseases are some of the major factors which will propel growth of the implantable cardioverter-defibrillators market. Sedentary lifestyles, unhealthy dietary habits, and lack of proper exercise have resulted into the increased incidences of heart related diseases, especially arrhythmia. The demand for ICDs is rising significantly as healthcare professionals and the governing bodies such as American Heart Association have widely accepted this form of treatment due to its safety, and efficacy. However, the AHA recommends that the arrhythmia in question ought to be life threatening for the patient to be eligible for a cardioverter defibrillator.

The subcutaneous ICD (S-ICD) is inserted without placing the leads into the heart. The device is inserted below the left axilla, or armpit in line with the rib cage. The lead connected to the device is laired under the skin more willingly than inside the heart. Some of the advantages of the S-ICD are the lack of immediate or long-term complications caused by inserting a lead into the heart, such as collapse of the lung and perforation of the heart. Subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillators are the main driver for the global ICD market due to the aforementioned reasons. The rise in adoption of S-ICDs will propel the overall implantable cardioverter-defibrillators market in the forecast period.
