Market Overview

ECG (Electrocardiography) is a method for measuring the electrical and muscular activity of the heart using repeated cardiac cycles. It is used in electrocardiograms to assess the function and activity of the heart. The ECG records and interprets the electrical signals of the heart in real-time, as shown in a graph of voltage versus time of electrical activity. An electrocardiogram (ECG) is commonly used to diagnose and monitor heart conditions. It is used to investigate symptoms of a possible heart problem, such as chest pain, dizziness, palpitations (abruptly noticeable heartbeats), and shortness of breath. The Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) is in charge of regulating ECG products. The requirements include device categorization, registration, and post-market monitoring. The Korean Agency for Technology and Standards (KATS) develops product standards and technical guidelines for medical devices, such as ECG equipment. Manufacturers must meet certain requirements for their products to be sold in the Korean market. South Korean residents have easy access to healthcare services. ECG technology is widely available in a variety of healthcare settings, including hospitals, clinics, and specialized cardiac care centers, ensuring that all patients can receive cardiac diagnoses and monitoring. The South Korean government aggressively promotes healthcare innovation programs. Policies and funding aimed at promoting medical technology help the country's growth and adoption of cutting-edge ECG devices.

Market Segment

• In 2023, the resting ECG segment accounted for the largest revenue share over the forecast period.

Based on the product, the South Korea electrocardiograph (ECG) market is segmented into resting ECG, stress, mobile cardiac telemetry devices, and implantable loop recorders. Among these, the resting ECG segment has the largest revenue share over the forecast period. The resting ECG devices segment dominated the diagnostic ECG market, due to their wide range of applications in CVD management and low cost. Furthermore, these devices are simple and easy to use, with a space-saving design.

• In 2023, the 12-lead segment is witnessing significant growth over the forecast period.

Based on lead type, the South Korea electrocardiograph (ECG) market is segmented into 12-lead, 6-lead, 5- lead. Among these, the 12-lead segment is witnessing significant growth over the forecast period. Paramedics primarily use 12-lead ECG devices to diagnose acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and reduce treatment time. These devices have a wide range of clinical applications and are the industry standard for noninvasive arrhythmia and conduction disturbance detection. Furthermore, the rising usage of 12-lead ECG devices in hospital and pre-hospital settings is likely to support the segment growth.

• In 2023, the hospitals & clinics segment accounted for the largest revenue share over the forecast period.

Based on end user, the South Korea electrocardiograph (ECG) market is segmented into hospitals & clinics, home settings & ambulatory surgical centers, and others. Among these, the hospitals & clinics segment has the largest revenue share over the forecast period. This is attributed to the rising burden of cardiovascular diseases, which is increasing the demand for quality cardiology care, government initiatives to strengthen hospital infrastructure, the establishment of new cardiac centers, and an increase in the number of patients undergoing cardiac testing in hospitals. This factor is expected to boost the segment's growth in the coming years.
