Wearable ECG Monitors Market Report 2025

The wearable ecg monitors market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $3.97 billion in 2024 to $4.82 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising prevalence of atrial fibrillation, rising awareness among general population regarding health and fitness and a rapid growth in elderly population.

The wearable ecg monitors market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $11.31 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing incidence of cardiovascular disease, increasing demand for non-invasive ambulatory rhythm monitoring and rapid technological advances initiatives will drive the market for wearable ECG monitors. Major trends in the forecast period include use of artificial intelligence, technological advancement in wearable ECG devices, technology and analytics in patient care, investment in wearables and mobile applications and advances in the use of cardiovascular monitoring technologies.

The rising prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is fueling interest in the development of wearable devices capable of continuously monitoring cardiac activity. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a person dies from CVD every 36 seconds in the U.S., resulting in nearly 836,546 deaths annually. Additionally, a report from the National Library of Medicine indicates that by 2035, it is projected that 45.1% of the U.S. population will have some form of cardiovascular disease, with total costs associated with these diseases expected to reach $1.1 trillion by that year. Consequently, the increasing incidence of cardiovascular diseases is driving the demand for wearable ECG monitors.

The growing aging population is expected to propel the wearable ECG monitors market in the coming years. This demographic shift, characterized by a higher proportion of elderly individuals due to increased life expectancy and lower birth rates, presents both challenges and opportunities in healthcare. Wearable ECG monitors offer significant benefits to older adults by providing continuous cardiac monitoring, facilitating early detection of heart issues, and improving healthcare outcomes, thereby enhancing their overall quality of life. For instance, according to the World Health Organization, by 2030, one in six people will be 60 or older, with the number of individuals in this age group projected to reach 2.1 billion by 2050. Thus, the aging population will continue to contribute to the growth of the wearable ECG monitors market in the forecast period.

The diagnosis of intermittent arrhythmia requires prolonged ambulatory rhythm monitoring. Conventional technologies such as Holter monitoring or external cardiac event recorders have limitations in terms of low sensitivity, diagnostic yield, and patient compliance. While implantable cardiac monitors (ICMs) assist in long-term monitoring, they involve minor surgery and significant costs. This has led to an increased demand for non-invasive ambulatory rhythm monitoring, with smart clothing technology emerging as a novel alternative tool.

In May 2023, Movesense, a Finland-based company specializing in programmable ECG, heart rate, and movement sensors, partnered with Labfront. This integration enables researchers to seamlessly gather and assess ECG, heart rate, heart rate variability, and motion data without the need for SDKs or APIs. Labfront, a US-based company, provides a research tool unifying real-world data capture from wearables, including ECG and blood pressure.

In March 2022, Dreamtech, a South Korea-based manufacturer of electronics components, acquired Cardiac Insight for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition is part of Dreamtech's strategy to establish a substantial presence in the heart health market by utilizing ECG monitoring devices to enhance its product offerings in the rapidly expanding heart health sector. Cardiac Insight is a U.S.-based medical device company specializing in wearable ECG monitors.

Wearable ECG monitors are portable devices that continuously capture the heart's electrical signals, allowing for real-time tracking of cardiac health and the detection of conditions like atrial fibrillation. These monitors are designed to be user-friendly and can be easily integrated with smartphones for seamless data sharing.

The main types of wearable ECG monitors include wired and wireless variants. Wired wearable ECG monitors are devices that track heart rhythm and operate through a wired connection. These monitors come in various grades, including consumer and clinical. They find applications in conditions such as atrial fibrillation, angina, atherosclerosis, cardiac dysrhythmia, congestive heart failure (CHF), coronary artery disease, heart attack, bradycardia, and tachycardia. These monitors are available through various sales channels, including online platforms and pharmacies.
