Global External Defibrillators Market Size is valued at USD 4.36 Billion in 2025 and is predicted to reach USD 11.52 Billion by the year 2035 at an 10.7% CAGR during the forecast period for 2026 to 2035.
External Defibrillators Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product (Manual & Semi-Automated External Defibrillators, Fully Automated External Defibrillators, and Wearable Cardioverter Defibrillators), By End-Users, Region, and Segment Forecasts, 2026 to 2035
In recent years, the use of automated external defibrillators has been promoted as a part of the chain of survival to improve outcomes for adult cardiac arrest victims. An automated external defibrillator (AED) is defined as a lightweight, portable device that carries an electric shock through the chest to the heart. The shock can potentially stop an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) and allow a normal rhythm to resume following sudden cardiac arrest (SCA).
Factors such as the growing focus toward public access defibrillator (PAD) by the public & private organizations are expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period. Moreover, growing technological advancements in defibrillator devices, speedily rising geriatric population with higher risk of targeted diseases, and increase in the incidence of cardiac diseases is further estimated to boost the market growth. The market is further driven by other significant factors, such as the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, including coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, rheumatic heart disease, and other conditions across the globe.
The Global External Defibrillators market is categorized on the basis of product, End-user, and region. On the basis of product type, the market is segmented into Manual & Semi-Automated External Defibrillators, Fully Automated External Defibrillators, and Wearable Cardioverter Defibrillators. On the basis of End-user, the market is segmented into Hospitals, Clinics, & Cardiac Centers, Prehospital Care Settings, Public Access Markets, Alternate Care Facilities, and Home Care Settings.
Based on region, the market is studied across North America, Asia-Pacific, Europe, and LAMEA. Among all, North America is expected to dominate the market during the analysis of the forecast period.
