The growth in the defibrillator market is attributed to the increase in the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, the increasing adult population with higher susceptibility to cardiac arrest, a strong focus of government organizations to enhance the accessibility of defibrillators by boosting the installation of public access defibrillators and providing training & programs on defibrillators. Additionally, the rapid expansion of healthcare infrastructure in emerging countries and strategic collaborations & partnerships among manufacturers to boost the new developments in defibrillators are likely to support the market's growth in the near future.
