Dublin, Oct. 30, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/dpmg48/automated)
has announced the addition of the "Automated
External Defibrillator Market (Trends, Technology & End-Users)
(2012-2017)" report to their offering.
The automated external defibrillator market is segmented based on
product type into two categories - semi-automated and fully
automated defibrillators. Based on end-users,the AED market is
classified into five categories, namely, hospitals, pre-hospital,
public access, alternate care, and home; the market is forecast
till 2017.Automated external defibrillators play an important role
in saving the lives of sudden cardiac arrest victims.Considering
the life-saving potential of AEDs, legislations requiring
installation of public access defibrillators (PAD) have been passed
in the U.S., Japan, and certain European countries.
The global AED market was worth $616million in the year 2012.
Increasing incidences of cardiovascular disease, growing awareness
about the lifesaving potential of AED, increasing installation of
public access AEDs, and advancing technology are accelerating the
growth of this market. However, product recalls, and intense
competition in mature markets will hamper the growth of this
market, to a certain extent.
The market for automated
external defibrillator has become very dynamic, with companies
in this segment adopting growth strategies of collaborations,
agreements, and acquisitions. Untapped emerging markets and home
defibrillators represent vast opportunities for key players in this
market.
The geographies covered in this study are North America, Europe,
Japan, Asia and Rest of the world (RoW). North America is the
largest market for AED, followed by Japan and Europe. North America
and Japan are expected to grow at a slower pace, primarily due to a
certain amount of saturation in the market. The Asian market is
poised to register maximum growth over the next five years, owing
to the increasing installation of AEDs and rising prevalence of
cardiovascular diseases.
