Africa Defibrillator Market

Introduction

The Africa defibrillator market is witnessing strong growth, driven by the rising prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, increasing awareness of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), and advancements in emergency response technologies. Defibrillators are life-saving medical devices used to restore a normal heartbeat by delivering an electric shock to the heart during cardiac arrest. The market encompasses a wide range of products, including automated external defibrillators (AEDs), implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), and wearable defibrillators. As healthcare systems invest in public access defibrillation programs and hospitals upgrade emergency care infrastructure, the demand for defibrillators continues to rise. The Africa defibrillator market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of XX% from 2025 to 2030.
