The global critical care antiarrhythmic drugs market size was USD 796.8 million in 2019 and is projected to grow from USD 899.8 million in 2020 to USD 1,319.7 million by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.6% in the 2020-2027 period. Based on our analysis, the global market will exhibit a stellar growth of 12.9% in 2020.  The global impact of COVID-19 has been unprecedented and staggering, with critical care antiarrhythmic drugs witnessing a positive demand shock across all regions amid the pandemic.


The increasing prevalence of cardiovascular disorders across the globe will strongly propel market growth. According to a study published by the American Heart Association (AHA), cardiac disorders are the leading cause of death, accounting for more than 17.6 million deaths in 2016 and more than 23.6 million expected deaths by 2030 globally. Cardiovascular disorders (CVD) and stroke accounted for 14.0% of the total health expenditures in 2014-2015. This is one of the major factors augmenting the critical care antiarrhythmic drugs market growth during the projected timeframe.


Cardiovascular disorders such as atrial fibrillation (AFib) are one of the major conditions leading to irregular heartbeats, referred to as arrhythmia. Hence, the growing incidence of the disorder across the globe will strongly propel market expansion. AFib is the most common arrhythmia diagnosed in clinical practice. For instance, as per the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, it is estimated that 12.1 million people in the U.S. will have AFib by 2030. Also, in 2018, AFib accounted for 175,326 deaths across the U.S. Such factors are responsible for boosting the demand for critical care antiarrhythmic drugs.


Surge in COVID-19 Cases Increases the Risk of Recurrent Cardiac Arrhythmias in Critically Ill COVID Patients


It was originally thought that the novel coronavirus (COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2) was primarily a respiratory disorder, but as larger numbers of patients contracted the virus, many physiological manifestations of the disease are coming to the fore. The impact of COVID-19 goes well beyond the lungs to impact the cardiovascular system and cause complications, such as stroke, shock, heart failure, myocarditis, and arrhythmias.


As Covid-19 cases surge across the globe, the risk of recurrent cardiac arrhythmias in critically ill COVID-19 patients is also high. However, the arrhythmias may stem from cardiac complications and may not be caused by the virus alone. For instance, a study published by the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) states that, in February 2020, 44.4% of the patients assessed from China, Wuhan was treated in intensive care units due to complications related to arrhythmias. Arrhythmias may also be aggravated by severe systemic inflammatory conditions associated with COVID-19. Hence, this factor is likely to have a positive impact on the growth of the critical care antiarrhythmogenic drugs market amidst the pandemic.


LATEST TRENDS

Increasing Number of Clinical Trials Pertaining to Novel Anti-Arrhythmia Therapeutics is a Prominent Market Trend


The increasing number of new trials conducted recently for treating arrhythmias show improved outcomes and lower rates of hospitalization for patients with novel drug solutions. These clinical trials are being initiated to develop an effective therapeutic framework for atrial fibrillation drug development. For instance, in August 2020, a pilot and feasibility study was conducted at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center (U.S.), where the enrolled patients with frequent symptomatic episodes of atrial fibrillation were observed and analyzed in a cross-over study testing two different classes of antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs). This study will provide preliminary data for a larger study in which the investigators will test the hypothesis that a common atrial fibrillation genetic risk allele modulates response to different AADs.


DRIVING FACTORS


Rising Adoption of Antiarrhythmic Drugs in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) Will Support Market Growth


One of the major factors supporting the growth of the critical care antiarrhythmic drugs market is the growing adoption of these therapeutics in intensive care units for the treatment of patients with acute arrhythmias. As per the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), atrial fibrillation is frequently observed in medical intensive care units (MICU), with up to 30% of MICU patients showing periods of atrial fibrillation. Cardiac arrhythmias are a common complication in ICUs, with reported rates as high as 40%. Many of the common disorder states seen in critically ill patients, including cardiac and pulmonary disease, are risk factors for the development of arrhythmias, making recognition and management in the ICU vitally important. This is one of the most prominent factors expected to augment market growth across the forecast period.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Side Effects Associated with Antiarrhythmic Drugs Might Restrict Market Growth


Adverse effects associated with antiarrhythmic drugs might act as a growth hampering factor for the market. Quinidine, procainamide, mexiletine, flecainide, and propafenone are all class I antiarrhythmic drugs used for the treatment of various atrial and ventricular arrhythmias.


Despite the benefits of these drugs, there are certain side effects associated with the use of antiarrhythmic medications, such as cardiovascular toxicity, central nervous system toxicity, gastrointestinal symptoms, immune-mediated reactions, and few others. As a result, these undesirable effects may significantly restrict market potential.
