Wearable Electrocardiogram (ECG) T-Shirt Global Market Report 2025

The wearable electrocardiogram (ECG) T-shirt market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $0.7 billion in 2024 to $0.83 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to rising health awareness, increased adoption of fitness tracking, miniaturization of sensors, growing demand for early cardiac monitoring, and expansion in sports technology.

The wearable electrocardiogram (ECG) T-shirt market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.59 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.6%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to the expansion of remote patient monitoring, increasing elderly population, healthcare digitalization, supportive government health initiatives, and the rising aging population. Key trends in the forecast period include smartphone integration, real-time cloud data sharing, personalized health insights, growth in telemedicine, and the use of sustainable smart textiles.

The increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases is expected to drive the growth of the wearable electrocardiogram (ECG) T-shirt market. Cardiovascular diseases are conditions affecting the heart and blood vessels, including coronary artery disease, arrhythmias, heart failure, and stroke. Their prevalence is rising due to aging populations, as older adults are more susceptible to heart-related conditions because of physiological changes such as arterial stiffening and prolonged exposure to risk factors such as high blood pressure and cholesterol. Wearable ECG T-shirts support individuals with cardiovascular disease by continuously monitoring heart activity in real time, enabling early detection of irregular heart rhythms, improving disease management, and allowing timely medical intervention to prevent severe cardiac events. For instance, in October 2024, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that cardiovascular disease caused 919,032 deaths in 2023, accounting for one in every three deaths, with coronary heart disease being the most prevalent form. Notably, about one in six cardiovascular deaths occurred among adults younger than 65. The rising prevalence of cardiovascular diseases is therefore driving the growth of the wearable ECG T-shirt market.

The growing interest in remote patient monitoring is expected to propel the growth of the wearable ECG T-shirt market. Remote patient monitoring (RPM) involves using digital technologies to collect patients’ health data outside traditional healthcare settings and transmit it to providers for monitoring and evaluation. The demand for RPM is increasing due to the need for continuous health monitoring and timely medical intervention, allowing providers to track patient conditions efficiently and respond quickly to changes without frequent in-person visits. Wearable ECG T-shirts support RPM by continuously recording heart activity and securely transmitting real-time data to healthcare providers, enabling early detection of irregularities and proactive management of cardiac health. For example, in August 2023, a survey by Vivalink, a US-based healthcare technology company, reported that 84% of current RPM users plan to expand usage in 2024, 45% of providers use RPM for acute monitoring in hospital-at-home programs, and 77% anticipate that RPM-based care will surpass traditional inpatient hospital care within five years. The growing interest in remote patient monitoring is thus driving the wearable ECG T-shirt market.

In June 2025, TRAAK SAS, a France-based sovereign geolocation technology company, acquired Chronolife SAS for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, TRAAK SAS aims to integrate Chronolife SAS’s medically certified physiological monitoring technology into its geolocation solutions, creating a fully integrated tactical tracking system that enhances real-time biomonitoring for military operations, emergency response, industrial safety, and lone worker protection. Chronolife SAS is a France-based biotech company specializing in connected medical fabrics and advanced multiparametric digital health technologies, including a class IIa CE-certified connected T-shirt that continuously measures vital signals such as ECG, respiration, temperature, physical activity, and pulmonary impedance.

The regions covered in wearable electrocardiogram (ECG) T-shirt report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East and Africa.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The fast surge in U.S. tariffs and the trade tensions that followed in spring 2025 are heavily affecting the medical equipment sector, particularly for imported imaging machine components, surgical-grade stainless steel, and plastic disposables. Hospitals and clinics resist price hikes, pressuring manufacturers’ margins. Regulatory hurdles compound the problem, as tariff-related supplier changes often require re-certification of devices, delaying time-to-market. Companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing critical parts, expanding domestic production of commoditized items, and accelerating R&D in cost-efficient materials.
