External Defibrillators Market by Product Type (Manual External Defibrillator, Automated External Defibrillator (AED), and Wearable Cardioverter Defibrillator (WCD)), by End User (Hospitals, Pre-Hospitals, Public Access Market, Alternate Care Market,

The Global External Defibrillators Market size was valued at USD 5.67 billion in 2019, and is predicted to reach USD 11.01 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 6.1% from 2020-2030

The global sale of External Defibrillators was 3.11 million units in 2019, which is projected to escalate by 9.50 million units by 2030, with a CAGR of 10.7%, from 2020-2030.

External defibrillators are medical devices that are used to deliver controlled dosage of electric current to the patient’s heart, in life-threatening conditions of cardiac dysrhythmias; majorly VF (Ventricular Fibrillation) and VT (non-perfusing Ventricular Tachycardia). Counter-shock given to the patient’s heart tends to depolarize a large amount of heart muscle, thereby terminating the dysrhythmia.

Different types of external defibrillators include Manual External Defibrillators, Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs), and Wearable External Defibrillators (WCD). With technological advancements, the adoption of AEDs and WCDs are gaining momentum, thereby supplementing the growth of global External Defibrillators market.

The AEDs are portable, fully automated, can analyze heart rhythms for shocks, can be operated by layperson, as well as these are fast and easy to operate. These benefits are expected to escalate the growth of External Defibrillators market in coming future.

Market Dynamics and Trends
According to data provided by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2017, Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs) caused about 31% of global deaths, of which 85% deaths result from heart attack and stroke. This scenario further supplements the growth of global External Defibrillators market

Furthermore, increasing installations of Public Access Defibrillator (PAD) at various public places, along with improving healthcare infrastructures equipped with advanced amenities, further propagates the growth of global External Defibrillators market.

However, high costs, increasing number of product recalls, and lack of consumer awareness, are the limiting factors that are expected to negatively affect the growth of global External Defibrillators market.

Moreover, increasing geriatric population, growing number of approvals granted by the U.S FDA, and increasing government investments in public interest, are anticipated to boost-up the growth of global External Defibrillators market.
Market Segmentations and Scope of the Study:
The global External defibrillators market share has been analyzed based on product type, end user and geography.

Based on product type, the market is segmented into Manual External Defibrillator, Automated External Defibrillator (AED), and Wearable Cardioverter Defibrillator (WCD). The Automated External Defibrillator is sub segmented into Semi-Automated External Defibrillator and Fully Automated Defibrillator. Based on end user, the market is divided into pre-hospitals, hospitals, alternate care market, public access market, and home. Geographic breakdown and analysis of each of the previously mentioned segments include regions comprising North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and RoW.
Geographical Analysis
North America is estimated to account for the major market share in the global External defibrillators market throughout the forecast period, owing to the increased adoption of external defibrillators due to higher prevalence of CVDs because of sedentary lifestyles. Furthermore, adoption of advanced automated technologies, well-established healthcare infrastructures and medical laboratories are further expected to fuel the growth of external defibrillator market.

Asia Pacific is expected to show a rapidly growing External defibrillators market, owing to the increasing incidences of CVDs, improvement in the healthcare facilities, and growing awareness regarding treatment options.
