Holter Monitor Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Holter Monitor Market Analysis

The Holter Monitor Market size is estimated at USD 0.78 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 1.09 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 6.90% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

Atrial fibrillation is the most clinically significant in humans when it is viewed at global levels. It is a serious health problem because of its increasing incidence and prevalence in the geriatric population. The early diagnosis of atrial fibrillation is important since arrhythmias significantly increase the risk of heart failure, stroke, and tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy with reduced cardiac function. The prevalence of atrial fibrillation is often miscalculated due to the high frequency of clinically silent atrial fibrillation as well as paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, both of which are hard to detect by routine physical examination or 12-lead electrocardiogram. The development of wearable devices has provided a steadfast way for healthcare providers to uncover undiagnosed atrial fibrillation in people, especially those most at risk. Artificial intelligence and wearable technology have made it possible to extract and analyze many aspects to identify and predict patient groups that traditional detection methods were unable to identify due to the exponential growth of digital clinical data.

Moreover, various advantages associated with these devices contribute to the market growth and are essential in diagnosing and assessing various heart conditions, such as arrhythmias and myocardial infarction. For instance, in August 2022, SmartCardia launched the 7L patch, its 7-lead cardiac monitoring patch, in India. This state-of-the-art patch monitor combines medical wearable technology with artificial intelligence (AI) to provide predictive and personalized patient insights through remote monitoring. Also, in March 2022, Biotricity, a US-based biotechnology company, launched a wireless, wearable cardiac monitoring device for the early detection of cardiac arrhythmias.

Furthermore, strategic efforts by prominent market competitors are positively influencing market growth. For instance, in August 2023, Philips, at the European Society of Cardiology, showcased how specific diagnostic referral codes can potentially help Holter monitoring to monitor symptoms remotely, which prevents further hospitalization. Philips has created extended ECG Holter monitoring, which can improve diagnostic outcomes. Hence, such initiatives are likely to increase the product awareness and reach, thereby contributing to the market growth.

However, the strict and complex reimbursement policies and documentation challenges are the factors that hinder the growth of the Holter monitor market.
