ECG Cable and ECG Lead Wire Sales Analysis (2017-2021) in Comparison to Growth Forecast (2022-2026)

Increase in the incidence of cardiovascular disorders has been observed over the past years and this is expected to rise further across the forecast period. This has led to high demand for ECG monitoring and is subsequently driving the demand for ECG cable and ECG lead wires as well.

Rising geriatric population, poor lifestyle choices, technological advancements in electrocardiography, increasing availability of cardiovascular treatments, growing awareness of cardiovascular disorders, and favorable reimbursement policies are expected to drive ECG cable and ECG lead wires market growth through 2026.

However, the high cost of disposable ECG cables and several untapped markets across the world are expected to restrict global ECG cable and ECG lead wires market growth across the forecast period.

From 2022 to 2026, the ECG cable and ECG lead wires market is projected to progress at a CAGR of 5.3%.

Which Factors Spearhead Demand for ECG Lead Wires?

“Growing Prevalence of Cardiovascular Disorders”

The world has witnessed a notable increase in the incidence of cardiovascular disorders and this has resulted in high demand for ECG monitoring solutions.

Increasing geriatric population across the world and poor lifestyle habits are also expected to increase the rate of cardiovascular disorders on a global level, and, in turn, drive ECG cable and ECG lead wires market growth through 2026.

What Factors Could Negatively Impact Demand for ECG Cables?

“High Costs of Disposable ECG Cables”

Awareness regarding hospital-acquired infections has increased substantially over the past few years and this has led healthcare professionals to opt for more disposable healthcare solutions and products.

However, disposable ECG cables are expensive and this is projected to have a hampering effect on the global market potential to some extent.

What Opportunities Could New ECG Cable and ECG Lead Wires Market Players Cash in On?

“Start-ups Can Focus on Development of Advanced Electrocardiography Solutions”

• Cardiomatics, a health technology AI startup based in Poland, announced a US$ 3.2 million seed raise in August 2021. The start-up used this funding to advance its research and development of electrocardiogram (ECG) reading automation technology. The company aims to increase the efficiency of ECG for cardiologists and help generate faster reports using artificial intelligence (AI).
• Agatsa, an India-based start-up that developed the world’s first portable touch-based ECG machine, is now eyeing to expand its product reach to the United States as it tries to get approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

New market entrants can focus on the launch of such new innovative solutions to enhance their market presence and carve out a space for themselves. New suppliers of ECG cables and lead wires can focus on reducing the costs of disposable ECG cables and wires, which are currently very costly and is a major challenge to the overall ECG cable and ECG lead wires market growth.

The launch of affordable disposable ECG cables could disrupt the market and help new companies establish their foothold in the global marketplace.

Which Region Should ECG Cable and ECG Lead Wire Suppliers Invest In?

“North America Provides Highly Rewarding Business Opportunities”

The North America market currently accounts for a dominant market share and is projected to maintain it throughout the forecast period and hence is an investment-worthy region for all market players.

Rising prevalence of cardiovascular disorders, rapid adoption of novel technologies, and the presence of key healthcare providers are major factors that are uplifting ECG cable and ECG lead wires market potential in this region. Demand for ECG cable and ECG lead wires in Canada is predicted to increase at a 4.7% CAGR through 2026.

Rising aging population and increasing availability of cardiovascular disorder treatments are prime factors that favor the overall ECG cable and ECG lead wires market growth in the Asia Pacific region across the forecast period. China, India, and Japan are anticipated to emerge as highly lucrative markets in this region over the years to come.

China market is anticipated to evolve at a CAGR of around 7% through 2026 to account for an estimated revenue total of US$ 219 million by the end of the forecast period.

Which Usability Segment will be at the Forefront of ECG Cable and ECG Lead Wire Sales?

“Reusable Products to Account for Major Market Share”

The global ECG cable and ECG lead wires market based on usability is segmented into disposable and reusable.

Reusable ECG lead wires are expected to be highly popular in the global ECG cable and ECG lead wires marketplace owing to their reusable nature and cost-effectiveness to healthcare providers as well as patients.

However, there is a risk of cross-contamination through these reusable ECG cables and increasing awareness of hospital-acquired infections is also expected to restrain the use of reusable ECG lead wires to a certain extent. The reusable segment is anticipated to account for a total valuation of nearly US$ 1 billion by the end of 2026.

The disposable segment is projected to witness an increase in demand throughout the forecast period but the growth is expected to be slowed down by their high costs.

Which Material is Highly Preferred by ECG Cable and ECG Lead Wire Manufacturers?

“Thermoplastic Elastomers to Exhibit High Demand Growth”

Thermoplastic elastomers offer durability, flexibility, and shore hardness that is the best of all other materials available for ECG cable and ECG lead wires manufacturing and hence are highly popular amongst ECG cable and lead wire companies.

The thermoplastic elastomers segment holds a major market share of the ECG cables and lead wires industry landscape and is projected to maintain this stance across the forecast period.

The global ECG cable and ECG lead wires market, based on material, is segmented into thermoplastic elastomers, thermoplastic polyurethane, and other materials.

Which Patient Care Accounts for Most ECG Cable and ECG Lead Wire Shipments?

“Hospitals Expected to Continue Spearheading Sales Revenue Growth”

The market for ECG cables and ECG lead wires based on patient care settings is further bifurcated into hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities, ambulatory, and home care.

The hospitals segment accounts for a major market share owing to the high availability of cardiovascular treatments and increasing caseload of cardiovascular disorders. The high rate of hospitalization due to cardiovascular diseases and increasing demand for quality cardiology care are other factors that favor growth in the hospitals segment over the years to come.
