A device that records the electrical activity of the heart is called an electrocardiograph (ECG). The electrical activity of the heart is continuously monitored during cardiac cycles in order to create an electrocardiogram, sometimes referred to as an electrocardiography. This is a heart electrogram, which measures the electrical activity of the heart by applying electrodes to the skin and creating a voltage vs. time graph. This test looks to see how well the heart is functioning. If a patient experiences palpitations, chest discomfort, or arrhythmia, an ECG may be recommended. A cardiac murmur, myocardial infarction, and many other heart issues could be indicated by an abnormal ECG result.

The prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) has increased globally as a result of an increase in lifestyle illnesses such diabetes, obesity and hypertension brought on by an increase in sedentary lifestyle choices. Therefore, the use of diagnostic ECG devices is anticipated to increase due to the capacity to track the course of CVD and provide prompt diagnosis. Due to ongoing investments in healthcare infrastructure, increasing aging population, and rising rates of CVD, emerging nations present enormous development potential for cardiac diagnostics is also going to drive the ECG Device market. Furthermore, it is projected that the market for advanced diagnosis ECG equipment would grow faster due to expanding government initiatives to improve healthcare accessibility and growing partnerships and collaborations among manufacturers, public and private hospitals, and cardiac centres.

The diagnostic ECG market would be impacted over the forecast period by the lack of doctors and other healthcare professionals in the majority of nations who are qualified to handle cardiac diagnostic devices. Regulatory obstacles may have a major effect on the ECG device approval process, delaying the devices' release onto the market which will  impact the timely patient care and early diagnosis. This delay may also limit the ability for manufacturers to grow the market by preventing them from expanding their diagnostic ECG device lines into new markets.

The impact of COVID-19 on the ECG device market was multifaceted. Initially, the pandemic disrupted manufacturing, causing a decline in production and supply. Additionally, COVID-19-related policies delaying elective procedures further dampened the market, particularly in 2020. However, the emerging understanding of COVID-19's detrimental effects on the cardiovascular system, reflected in aberrant ECG readings, led to a surge in ECG diagnostic testing for COVID-19-related cardiovascular issues. This, in turn, spurred the market's recovery and even expansion. Furthermore, the pandemic fostered innovations in healthcare, including the rise of at-home medical testing, which prioritized portable and handheld ECG devices, further contributing to the market's growth.
