The global Automatic External Defibrillator Market is value at USD 4.19 Billion in 2026 and eventually reaching USD 14.72 Billion by 2035 expanding at a CAGR of 17.01% from 2026 to 2035.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with automatic external defibrillator experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden decline in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over. 

An apparatus that automates the delivery of an electric shock to the heart is an external defibrillator (AED). Someone who is having cardiac arrest may benefit from this shock by regaining a regular heartbeat. AEDs are crucial because they can be used to treat sudden cardiac arrest, which, if not treated right away, can result in death.

Over the projected period, the fully automatic external defibrillator market is anticipated to rise due to the rising incidence of cardiac arrest cases and public safety awareness. The global fully automatic external defibrillator (HeartStart Home Defibrillation System) market size is also anticipated to be driven by the healthcare sector's rapid technical improvements as well as consumers' rising demand for technologically advanced goods. For instance, the HeartStart home monitoring system from Philips Healthcare was created to assist people monitor their health using mobile devices like smartphones or tablets. It offers real-time notifications on heart rate measures and blood pressure readings.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Market to Witness a Downfall Owing to Restrictions

Since supply chains have been disrupted owing to international restrictions and utilization has decreased due to worldwide government lockdowns, the outbreak of coronavirus sickness (COVID-19) did act as a massive restriction on almost every market in 2020. Extremely contagious COVID-19 is characterized by flu-like symptoms include fever, coughing, and breathing difficulties. Following its discovery in Wuhan, the virus has subsequently spread to North America, West Europe, and Asia. The Automatic External Defibrillator industry is one of many that Covid-19 has had a great impact on.

Automated external defibrillator manufacturers are creating strategies to protect their industry in the event of COVID-19 pandemic-related emergencies. While complying to all safety guidelines recommended by the local government officials, they are concentrated on bolstering their supply networks and carrying on with routine manufacturing activities.

LATEST TRENDS

Product to Help People in Cases of Emergencies

When someone has had a cardiac arrest at home, a completely automatic external defibrillator is used in an emergency. This could result in death within minutes after suffering from sudden cardiac arrest if it is not addressed right away. A fully automatic external defibrillator, which may be purchased by people who have successfully completed the necessary training on how to use it securely and correctly while providing the necessary treatment, may be used in such situations by family members or friends. This feature of the equipment has provided relief in households and it is anticipated to boost automatic external defibrillator market growth.

• According to a market insights summary on AED deployment, more than 100,000 public schools in the United States alone have installed AED devices as part of emergency preparedness protocols, reflecting increased institutional adoption globally.
• As per European Union directives, government policy now requires the installation of AEDs in all public transport hubs, shopping malls, and sports facilities, with plans to deploy over 50,000 new AED units across member states by 2025.

By Type Analysis

According to type, the market can be segmented into semi-automatic and fully-automatic.

• Semi-Automatic: Semi-automatic systems strike a balance between human control and machine assistance, requiring the user to initiate each operation while the system handles repetitive tasks. This approach enhances precision and efficiency without fully removing human oversight.
• Fully-Automatic: Fully-automatic systems operate independently, performing tasks from start to finish with minimal or no human intervention. They maximize speed and consistency, making them ideal for high-volume or time-sensitive operations.

By Application Analysis

Based on application, the market can be divided into hospitals, public access, emergency medical services, homes, work spaces and private cardiac clinics.

• Hospitals: Hospitals serve as the cornerstone of healthcare, blending advanced technology with skilled professionals to treat a spectrum of conditions. They provide round-the-clock care, ensuring patients receive timely and critical interventions.
• Public Access: Public access to health services empowers communities to proactively manage wellness and prevent disease. Open and inclusive facilities bridge gaps in healthcare, fostering equitable treatment for all.
• Emergency Medical Services: Emergency medical services act as lifesavers, delivering rapid response and critical care in moments of crisis. Their swift interventions often make the difference between survival and severe complications.
• Homes: Homes are the first line of health defense, where lifestyle choices and preventive measures shape long-term well-being. They provide comfort and familiarity, promoting recovery and emotional wellness.
• Work Spaces: Work spaces influence both physical and mental health, highlighting the importance of ergonomics, safety, and wellness programs. Healthy environments boost productivity while reducing the risk of occupational illnesses.
• Private Cardiac Clinics: Private cardiac clinics specialize in personalized heart care, combining expert consultations with advanced diagnostics. They focus on prevention, treatment, and long-term management of cardiovascular health.

DRIVING FACTORS

Rise in Prevalence of Cardiac Arrest Fuels Demand for Automated External Defibrillators

The popularity of automated external defibrillators is growing as a result of its capacity to help restore abnormal heart rhythms by shocking the heart with electricity. Ventricular fibrillation (VF) and pulseless ventricular tachycardia are two non-standard cardiac rhythms that these devices are designed to detect and treat (pulseless VT). In the next years, it is predicted that increased use of this device in treating patients who have had an abrupt cardiac arrest would present potential for income generating. Furthermore, the market may see profitable opportunities as the number of persons addicted to smoking and alcohol rises.

• According to the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation and AHA-linked data, about 350,000 out‑of‑hospital cardiac arrest events occur annually in the U.S., with a nearly 90% fatality rate, driving demand for accessible defibrillation devices.
• The American Heart Association (AHA) reports that 9 in 10 cardiac arrest victims who receive an AED shock within the first minute survive, emphasizing the importance of widespread AED availability.

Offering Training Programs Intended for Device Use at Workplaces to Support Sales in Market

Various end users, including emergency medical services, hospitals, public access, workplaces, households, and private cardiac clinics, employ automated external defibrillators. The growth in working stress levels around the world is predicted to drive demand for this technology in office settings. By teaching people how to use automated external defibrillators correctly, tragic events like cardiac arrest deaths might be avoided. As a result, many training initiatives are being run to ensure that these gadgets are used correctly in offices.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Legal Issues Regarding the Equipment to Impede Market Expansion

Legal concerns are raised by the growing usage of home and public defibrillators. For instance, the victim may file a lawsuit against first aid personnel who use an AED on someone who refuses to be revived. Defibrillator usage that results in a damage to a bystander, such as a shock or burn, may also give rise to a malpractice claim against a physician or a personal liability claim against a private individual.

• A report from the American Heart Association indicates that only about 50% of people can locate an AED at work, despite approximately 10,000 workplace cardiac arrests each year in the U.S., highlighting awareness gaps that restrain effective utilization.
• According to industry data, globally only about 29% of the population is trained in CPR and AED usage, posing a significant restriction on AED effectiveness even where devices are installed.
