Cardiac Pacemaker Market Insights, by Product Type - Single-Chamber Pacemaker Dominates Owing to Their Affordable Price Point

Product Type, the Single-chamber pacemaker segment is estimated to hold 45.3% of the market share in 2025, owing to their affordable price point. Single-chamber pacemakers offer a more basic yet effective solution at a fraction of the cost of dual-chamber or biventricular models, thus, making them desirable for price-sensitive customers.

Their simple design with only one lead wire also reduces manufacturing complexities and costs. Given the large population without health coverage, single-chamber pacemakers remain the go-to option for those seeking an affordable treatment option. This has ensured their continued dominance in the global cardiac pacemaker market over the years.  

Cardiac Pacemaker Market Insights, by Implantability - Leads Owing to Their Enhanced Clinical Suitability and Acceptance

Implantability segment is sub-segmented into implantable pacemakers and external pacemakers. Implantable pacemakers’ segment is estimated to hold 64% of the market share in 2025, owing to their enhanced clinical suitability and acceptance. Unlike external pacemakers used temporarily, implantable devices offer permanence once surgically placed inside the body. This allows for superior management of cardiac arrhythmias without restrictions on patient movement or lifestyle.

Implantable cardiac pacemakers are also more seamlessly integrated with the body's physiology. Advancements in miniaturization have increased comfort levels while reducing risks of inflection and rejection. Their long-term reliability negates the need for frequent replacement. Widespread physician recommendation and training have boosted user familiarity and preference for implantable pacemakers over other options. This has established them as the gold standard treatment in most healthcare settings.

Cardiac Pacemaker Market Insights, by End User - Hospitals is Surging as Most Patients Prefer Dedicated Cardiac Facilities for Pacemaker Implantation and Management

Hospitals segment is estimated to hold 33.6% of the market share in 2025 as most patients prefer dedicated cardiac facilities for pacemaker implantation and management. Hospitals employ skilled cardiac specialists, equip themselves with advanced diagnostic technologies and operate high-level intensive care units required for pacemaker procedures.

These also offer post-operative care and monitoring at convenient locations. This provides patients assurance of comprehensive care. Many countries also lack widespread access to cardiac clinics or surgery centers in rural areas. Hospitals remain the default option for a majority, driving their sales volumes. Governments and insurance providers also prefer recognized hospital infrastructures for reimbursing cardiac device costs.

Cardiac Pacemaker Market: Key Developments

• April 2025, Northwestern University engineers have developed a pacemaker so tiny that it can fit inside the tip of a syringe — and be non-invasively injected into the body. Although it can work with hearts of all sizes, the pacemaker is particularly well-suited to the tiny, fragile hearts of newborn babies with congenital heart defects.
• March 2025, MicroPort CRM is proud to announce that its associated company, MicroPort CRM Shanghai, launched the localized version of the TEN pacemaker family in China. The TEN pacemaker range includes six models across three categories: T, E, and N, offering both single-chamber and dual-chamber frequency-responsive pacemakers. These devices are designed with a compact size, long battery life, automation, and physiological performance.
• July 2024, Fadi Mansour performed the first Canadian implant of BIOTRONIK’s newest pacemaker and CRT-P generation earlier this year at the Centre Hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal. The patient received an Amvia Sky HF-T QP triple chamber pacemaker device. The first implant follows the full market release of BIOTRONIK’s newest family of pacemaker and CRT-P devices, featuring patient-centric technologies for better patient care and simplified workflows.
