MARKET ANALYSIS
Electrocardiography (ECG) is a procedure required ECG cable and ECG lead wires that attached to the skin to record the electrical activity of the human heart. These electrodes work by detecting the electrical activity of the heart muscles in electrophysiological models for different indications such as, cardiac murmur, fainting, chest pain, and seizures. The ECG cable and lead wires are important component of ECG equipment and it is important to have good quality ECG cable and ECG lead wires and are properly connected to ensure accurate ECG recordings.
GROWTH DRIVERS AND CHALLENGES
There are various factors such as increasing geriatric population and the incidence of cardiovascular diseases are likely to enhance the demand for ECG equipment. ECG cables and ECG wires is a part of ECG equipment which helps in the monitoring of cardiac activity by connecting to the patient chest area and extremities. Due to the increasing demand for prevention, monitoring, and treatment of CVDs worldwide, has increased the demand for ECG equipment which in turn generate the demand for ECG lead wires and cables.
Moreover, the market is driven by increase in the demand for ECG machine for cardiac monitoring owing to increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases among the elderly and adults.

INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENTS AND FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES
Partnership, acquisitions and new product launches were found to be the major strategies adopted by the players operating in the global ECG cables and lead wires market.
In May 2022, Royal Philips launched at-home, 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) solution for use in decentralized clinical trials. The clinical-grade solution is the most advanced patient-centric ECG offering within the company's cardiac monitoring portfolio, pairing data readings comparable to clinical, site-based ECGs with Philips leading cloud-based data collection and analysis services. This latest addition to Philips' digitally enabled suite of monitoring solutions helps to drive innovation across the care continuum and support the decentralized clinical trial space.
In May 2019, AliveCor received FDA approval for KardiaMobile 6L, which is the first 6-lead personal ECG device worldwide. This approval would give the patients and physicians a thorough view of the patient's hearts; thus, it would help in the treatment of arrhythmias, which is one of the major causes of cardiovascular disease.
IMPACT OF COVID/IMPACT OF GEOPOLITICAL SCENARIO/IMPACT OF RECESSION
The covid-19 pandemic led to a decline in the progress of many industries across the globe. The closure of manufacturing plants and trade restrictions led to supply chain disruptions for manufacturers across the globe. The ECG cables and lead wires market experienced a decline during the pandemic due to the limited supply and production of ECG cables and lead wires on global level. Conversely, the ECG cables and lead wires market is growing after the significant efforts taken by market stakeholders and healthcare practitioners to manage the disrupted supply chain. The rising demand for ECG cables and lead wires owing to increasing incidences of cardiovascular diseases and the rise in the geriatric population drives the market growth. Additionally, the pandemic has further contributed to cardiac problems as the infection severely impacted cardiac health. Moreover, in 2021, the launch of vaccines controlled the infection, which led to the ease in government restrictions and increased the production of ECG cables and lead wires on a large scale. This further helps in stabilize the overall market growth with a slight negative effect during the pandemic.
