Holter Monitor Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Component (Wired, Wireless), By End-use (Hospitals & Clinics, Ambulatory Surgical Centers, Others), By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2023 - 2030

Holter Monitor Market Size & Trends

The global holter monitor market size was estimated at USD 1.45 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7% from 2023 to 2030. The market growth is attributed to the increasing prevalence of atrial fibrillation (an irregular and often very rapid heart rhythm, known as ‘AFib’), an aging population, and a rising incidence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Additionally, the market is being driven by a shift toward ambulatory monitoring devices, continuous technological advancements, greater investments in early arrhythmia detection, developments in telemetry, and favorable regulatory policies.

AFib is a common and often undiagnosed heart rhythm disorder that necessitates continuous monitoring for accurate detection and management. According to a study conducted by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) in April 2023, the recommendation for utilizing 24-48-hour Holter monitoring to identify AFib and non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT) in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) drives the Holter monitor industry. Additionally, past evidence underlines the effectiveness of extended ECG monitoring in improving AFib detection in individuals with cryptogenic stroke or post-pulmonary vein isolation, adding momentum to the market's growth.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2021, the high prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD), resulted in 375,476 fatalities. In addition, around 5% of adults aged 20 and above, suffer from CAD. Moreover, in 2021, nearly 20% of CAD-related deaths affected individuals below 65, emphasizing the urgency of monitoring and managing this condition. Hence, the increasing number of CADs is contributing to the growth of the market.

Furthermore, according to the American Heart Association, Inc., in January 2023, 70% of the geriatric population was susceptible to CVD. Hence, the demand for pacemakers and accompanying monitoring solutions like Holter monitors is expected to grow with an aging population and increasing prevalence of heart rhythm disorders. Holter monitors are also crucial in assessing the effectiveness of leadless pacemakers in regulating heart rate and rhythm. As leadless pacemakers are commonly used in patients with heart rhythm disorders, Holter monitors provide extended ECG monitoring, capturing any irregularities or pacing issues during daily activities.

Component Insights

Based on component, the Holter monitors market is categorized into wired and wireless Holter devices. The wired segment dominated with a revenue share of 63.54% in 2022. These monitors are trusted by healthcare professionals for their proven technology and established track record. They offer stability in data transmission, reduced susceptibility to interference, and a cost-effective solution for healthcare providers with budget constraints. Various key players offer wired Holter monitors with advanced features, such as Koninklijke Philips N.V., which offers the Holter system having EASI 12-lead, multiple scanning styles, fast, flexible Zymed smart tools, and many comprehensive tools to support ECG analysis.

The wireless segment is estimated to be the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period. The increasing product approvals are expected to boost market growth as various companies are integrating AI in Holter monitors to increase the precision and efficiency of wireless Holter monitors. For instance, in November 2020, VitalConnect, Inc. announced the launch of VitalPatch RTM. It is designed for patients in need of extended Holter monitoring. The device monitors 21 cardiac arrhythmias using an AI-based ECG analysis solution.

End-use Insights

Based on end-use, the market is segmented into hospitals & clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, and others. The hospitals & clinics segment dominated the market with a revenue share of 50.42% in 2022. The ongoing high incidence of CVD strongly boosts hospitals and clinics to engage in the market. In June 2023, the European Environment Agency published an article stating that Europe records more than 6 million new cases of CVD annually, with a substantial 1.7 million individuals losing their lives due to circulatory system disorders. This statistic represents roughly 37% of all documented fatalities in Europe. As a result, there is a pressing demand for efficient cardiac monitoring and care within hospitals and clinics, primarily driven by the prevalence of CVD.

The ambulatory surgery centers segment is projected to be the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period, which drives the Holter monitor industry also. According to the Ambulatory Surgery Center Association and ASCA Foundation, ASCs annually conduct approximately 22.5 million procedures across more than 5,900 Medicare-certified facilities in all 50 states of the U.S. Furthermore, Medicare's active involvement within the ASC environment leads to substantial yearly cost savings, surpassing USD 4.2 billion, particularly for procedures conducted within these centers. This thriving ASC ecosystem significantly boosts the demand for and utilization of Holter monitors within the healthcare sector.

Regional Insights

North America dominated the market with the largest share of 42.8% in 2022. The presence of Holter monitor manufacturing companies in the region is a significant driver of the market. It ensures a local supply chain, reducing shipping costs and facilitating customization and adaptation to meet local healthcare needs. Moreover, the prevalence of heart attacks in the U.S., occurring approximately every 40 seconds, is a significant driving force for the Holter monitor sector in the region. According to the CDC, around 805,000 individuals, experience heart attacks annually. It further emphasizes the crucial role of Holter monitors in monitoring and managing cardiac health, hence driving the market in this region.

Asia Pacific is expected to witness the fastest CAGR over the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to the growing number of patients from nations such as China, India, and Japan for CVD treatment. For instance, in 2022, as per the Indian Council of Medical Research and Registrar General of India, 60% of the total Indian population suffered from heart disease. Such trends are expected to boost the Holter monitor industry during the forecast period.

Key Companies & Market Share Insights

The market players are focusing on various strategic initiatives such as new product launches, expansion, mergers and acquisitions, collaboration, product upgradation, etc. In March 2023, Koninklijke Philips N.V. announced the results of its research at the World Congress of Cardiology. Philips researchers conducted a comparative analysis involving 1, 7, and 14 days of retrospective data collected from the Philips ePatch, an extended-wear Holter monitor. The results showcased that the extension of ePatch monitoring led to a two-times increase in clinically actionable findings after 7 days and a 2.5-times increase after 14 days. These strong initial findings highlighted the market-driving potential of extended monitoring solutions, driving the research team to conduct a more in-depth analysis to gain further insights into the impact on specific diagnoses.
