Atrial Fibrillation Market Trends



  • Rising incidence rate of atrial fibrillation due to high prevalence of hypertension and obesity to boost market growth


The primary causes of cardiovascular diseases, especially atrial fibrillation, are usually high blood pressure and obesity. The Framingham Heart Study found that obesity raised the chance of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation developing to persistent atrial fibrillation by 45% to 50% and that hypertension was linked to 14% of atrial fibrillation risks. Due to socioeconomic factors including dietary and other habits brought on by a person's lifestyle, the prevalence of these diseases is increasing (excessive alcohol consumption and smoking). According to WHO assumptions, 35% of people aged 20 years and over were overweight. Since 1980, the prevalence of obesity has nearly doubled worldwide, and it is predicted to rise quickly in the coming years. In 2008, there were 1 billion people worldwide who had hypertension. According to the WHO, there were 40% of low, middle, and upper middle-income nations and 35% of high-income countries with hypertension prevalence in 2008. The worldwide atrial fibrillation market CAGR is anticipated to grow throughout the forecast period due to the high and rising prevalence of these disorders.


However, from over projected period, rising atrial fibrillation rates are anticipated to fuel the expansion of the worldwide atrial fibrillation market. For instance, data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published in July 2022 indicated that more than 454,000 hospitalizations in the United States each year have atrial fibrillation as the major diagnosis. Each year, the disease causes roughly 158,000 deaths in the United States.

Moreover, the combination pharmaceutical therapy is a model and promising atrial fibrillation treatment option. In clinical trials, the combined pharmacological therapy demonstrated positive outcomes and would assist meet the unmet medical needs of patients with atrial fibrillation. The atrial fibrillation market is expected to be driven by this factor globally. Additionally, research on the combined therapy in an animal model revealed positive and effective anti-arrhythmic results. The Boston Atrial Fibrillation Symposium have seen the introduction of the clinical trials intended to evaluate the effectiveness of a combined therapy using Multaq and Ranexa. Around 150 individuals with non-permanent atrial fibrillation and pacemaker implants were enrolled in the HARMONY clinical trial. Preclinical data from this investigation indicate that this combination therapy, especially in terms of safety and efficacy, is well positioned in the existing atrial fibrillation market revenue.


Atrial Fibrillation Market Segment Insights


Atrial Fibrillation Treatment Insights


The atrial fibrillation market segmentation, based on treatment, includes medications, non-surgical procedures, surgical procedures. The surgical procedures atrial fibrillation segment held the majority share in 2022 in the atrial fibrillation market revenue. This is primarily owing to the increased use of cardiac monitoring technology during atrial fibrillation treatment. The number of patients with arrhythmia or a condition with an irregular heartbeat has increased, which has increased demand for cardiac monitors.


Atrial Fibrillation End User Insights


The atrial fibrillation market segmentation, based on end-user, includes hospitals, electrophysiology labs, ambulatory surgical centers. The hospitals segment dominated the market in 2022. This is due to the increasing use of laser and radio frequency ablation technologies also rising investment globally for the development hospital infrastructure by public and private players is anticipated to support the market growth.
