Defibrillators Market: Key Trends and Growth Drivers

The global defibrillators market was valued at USD 7.32 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1% from 2024 to 2030. Several factors are contributing to the rapid expansion of this market, including significant product development efforts, an increasing incidence of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), heightened awareness about heart health, and ongoing initiatives by governments and healthcare organizations to promote the use of defibrillators in emergency situations.

One of the notable developments in the defibrillator market occurred in May 2021, when Rapid Response Revival Research Ltd., an Australian company, received a CE mark for its innovative CellAED, the world’s first personal automated external defibrillator (AED) designed for home use. This achievement not only marked a significant milestone in the defibrillator market but also supported the company’s growth strategy by expanding the accessibility of defibrillation technology beyond hospitals and emergency services to the general public, especially those in home settings. The introduction of such advanced personal defibrillators is expected to contribute to an increased market share as it helps to improve survival rates for sudden cardiac arrest victims in non-hospital environments.

Another key driver for the defibrillators market is the rising geriatric population globally. As people live longer, the aging population is becoming more susceptible to chronic health conditions, particularly cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Older individuals, particularly those aged 65 and above, are at higher risk of experiencing cardiac events that require immediate intervention to restore normal heart rhythm. Defibrillators, including implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and external AEDs, are crucial for the management of such events, as they can deliver life-saving electric shocks to the heart.

Regional Insights

North America

North America held the largest revenue share of more than 42.1% in 2023 within the defibrillators market, driven by multiple factors including the increasing prevalence of heart diseases, a growing elderly population, a well-established healthcare infrastructure, and the strong presence of industry leaders in the region. Additionally, there is a growing awareness among the public and healthcare professionals regarding the technologies available for treating cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), particularly sudden cardiac arrest (SCA).

For example, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that in 2021, approximately 695,000 deaths in the U.S. were attributed to heart disease, accounting for 1 in every 5 deaths. Furthermore, from 2018 to 2019, the U.S. spent around USD 239.9 billion on heart disease-related healthcare. This increasing incidence of heart-related disorders, paired with technological advancements in defibrillator devices, is driving growth in the region's market. The rising awareness of life-saving treatments like implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) and automated external defibrillators (AEDs) further propels this growth.

The U.S. market for defibrillators is particularly strong due to the combination of rising demand from both healthcare providers and patients, as well as government initiatives aimed at improving cardiac care. This has led to innovations in defibrillator technology, making devices more efficient, minimally invasive, and user-friendly. With the ongoing focus on improving cardiac health, the demand for defibrillators in North America is expected to remain robust in the coming years.

Asia Pacific

The Asia Pacific (APAC) region is projected to experience substantial growth in the defibrillators market, driven by a range of socio-economic and health factors. Key contributors to this growth include sedentary lifestyles, unhealthy dietary habits, and an aging population, all of which are leading to a higher incidence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). As a result, there is an increasing demand for effective treatment options, such as defibrillators, to address the rising number of cardiovascular incidents.

For instance, a 2022 report on the global burden of cardiovascular diseases revealed that high-income countries in the Asia Pacific region had a CVD mortality rate of 76.6 deaths per 100,000 individuals, while Central Asia recorded a significantly higher rate of 516.9 deaths per 100,000 people. This stark difference highlights the increasing prevalence of CVDs in certain parts of the region, particularly as countries like China, India, and Japan see a rise in lifestyle-related health issues such as obesity and hypertension. Consequently, the demand for defibrillators in Asia Pacific is on the rise, driven by the increased number of cardiology procedures and interventions.

I had some Founder's Wake thoughts recently that I want to share here... These will be very unpolished and conversational fair warning lol

They have the phytoplankton which produce oxygen it's fucking great I love it But. Where do they get the sunlight from

Answer: grow lights. Like plants have grow lights and those work so it would be fine probably

BUT what powers those? Where do they get their electricity? I am thinking. Oh actually easy answer is hydro power I think they also use geothermal energy.

[@raspberrybluejeans says, "and maaagic", things click in my head and I enter a fit of creative and sciencey madness]

True just probably not a ton of it because of the Consequences and like prestige can be a source of energy but it's also like not easy to get your hands on, maybe because it is used industrially...

]Hmmm.. I think it's ohhhhhhh okay hear me out..

Their electric system has wires which pump prestige like as the conductors of electricity. Cause like electricity is just electrons moving across a gradient.

And in our bodies this is how our muscles are triggered by our nervous system, it's literally electrical signals (sodium molecules being released and moving across a gradient, causing a burst of energy) So like for prestige salts to be like a way to conduct electricity makes total sense to me. Especially because if you. Oh my god. It all comes together. My brinarr anatomy project and my Frankenstein project. They're married now

Anyway that makes sense to me if you take into account the fact that prestige salts are what give brinarr their conductivity, their aliveness, like the coral being imbued with it is what makes them capable of carrying life in this way

Compare this to Frankenstein, how he harnessed lightning to raise a corpse from the dead. And you might be like that's crazy Sierra and you're right it is BUT Frankenstein isn't fantasy. It's SCIENCE FICTION. The first of the genre really.Because BOOM back again to the sodium ion pump. To the nerves. How electricity is how we move and live. It's based on this idea, which I don't think they understood entirely at the time, But there were people who were sending electricity through dead animal parts, the most famous of which being Galvani, who animated a pair of frog legs, making them move. This idea of harnessing electricity to make dead things alive became known as galvanism, and it inspired Mary Shelley. This is also how like defibrillators work and AEDs.

LONG STORY SHORT. Magic and electricity working in tandem in Ethersea.

(+ thinking about how it would be hard to maintain the right balances of gas...i mean that would probably be alright...but at least in the swampland and conservatory it would be hard to be self sustained and the slums.. the.. frick. the where the farms are at the top because creating a self contained ecosystem is iffy, at least an entire biosphere is.. but it isnt all together theyre separate and regulated so maybe it would be okay. If like the space stations and stuff can do it maybe they can too.)

Body Horror Beatdown, Match 17, Round 1

Vote for your favorite:

Propaganda under the cut.

Mad God:

A journey beyond your wildest nightmares.

"Mad God is THEE body horror movie in my mind. Stop motion animation and heavily stylized live action combine to create a disgusting fetid mass of living things that fester in cruelty and industrial squalor. Everywhere you look something is alive and wet and moving in ways it shouldn't. It's a deeply disturbing film that wormed its way into my heart with its beautifully fucked up visuals and lack of consideration for mass appeal."

The Thing:

Man is the warmest place to hide.

jesus christ i have so much propaganda for this. it's my (the poll runner's) favorite in the bracket btw <3

"IT'S AMONG US, BUT WITH COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF GORE DONE THROUGH PRACTICAL EFFECTS. WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT?"

"ROB BOTTIN’S EFFECTS ARE THE BEST IN ANY FILM I HAVE EVER SEEN, AND I WATCH A LOT OF HORROR FILMS WITH A LOT OF EFX AND I GOTTA SAY HE DID A FANTASTIC JOB (HE WAS 22 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME OF DOING THE PRACTICAL FX FOR THIS FILM) Also it has Kurt Russell in it what more could you want"

"It's the best most special thing with all the fancy abilities"

"Awesome practical effects that still hold up, wet and slimey beasts, Kurt Russell looking hot"

"THE body horror movie. Ever wanted to see KY jelly and chewed up bubblegum used to create the most horrifying, gooey, and bulbuous mass of a creature you've ever seen? I SURE DO!!! It's such a practical effects monster especially with the big puppet-thing at the end that took almost fifty people to operate, AND the sound design with all the crackling and popping... ough. Just the first transformation scene with the kennel-thing is enough sicken someone. It's so good."

"all sequence of the thing is entirely practical effects, the blood and the gore, the tentacles and different versions of the thing. the practical effects were actually shot after the rest of the movie had wrapped up because making the effects took so long. they actually had an amputee in the scene where a characters arms were ripped off by the chest mouth in the defibrillator scene. Honestly John Carpenters magnum opus that was hounded by critics when it came out, but rightfully ADORED by horror fans in the present day for its amazing practical effects and awesome plot. bold and daring move to hide a lot of the characters eyes in many scenes, eyes are window to the soul and the thing doesn't want people knowing."

"I mean, this movie is an icon of body horror. Miss alien ate and the practical effects still terrify me on repeat viewings."

[rebeccalouisaferguson]

This summer, you starred in the very successful MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – DEAD RECKONING PART ONE. How has it been returning to the franchise after all these years?

It’s always wonderful and exciting. I’ve been a part of this journey now for 10 years, for three films and there are different aspects of filming it. You’re pre-filming as you are prepping, you’re getting ready, you’re training, you’re living MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE. Then it’s the filming, which is wonderful, tiring, exhausting and exhilarating. And then there’s a long pause before you get to relive all of those feelings when you start promoting it. I’m excited for the fans to see it, being a huge MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE fan, but it’s also such a lovely feeling to be reminded of the journey that you’ve had because in my mind, I’m filming other things, I’m busy doing other things, so I get to sort of defibrillate those emotions again, which is just wonderful.

What do you love most about this franchise and action movies in general?

I really love building the world prior to shooting, understanding the character, getting into it. I love the training. I am fortunate to be surrounded by the best of the best when it comes to either learning to hold my breath, deep diving, jumping off a roof, martial arts, gun fighting. It is such a weird world to be thrown into, cause it’s not my world, it’s not what I do on a weekend. And the travel is a treat. 

International audiences got to know you for your role as the iconic Queen Elizabeth in THE WHITE QUEEN. How do you look back on this role?

When I was offered the role, it was such an overwhelming moment because it happened so fast. It took years to process what had happened. The process of casting took months. I remember going in and then them not calling me back and thinking that I didn’t get it. Then they called me back again three times, put me in a hotel room and then all of a sudden I got a phone call at nine in the morning and they were like ‘You’ve got the role. We’re going to color your hair. We’re going to have a table read with all the actors and you’re moving to Bruges in two days’.

I kind of work well with such pressure, but it takes time to sit down and take in what just happened. When I was receiving award nominations and I was in the room with all of the people who I look up to, I just thought ‘I don’t belong here. Am I where I should be? ‘It’s a slow domino effect of realizing how lucky I am. And today I sometimes think it was insane when that happened.

Would you describe the role of Queen Elizabeth as the role that set the tone for the future of your career?

Yes, definitely. I remember in the beginning thinking MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE was what set the tone. It’s always sort of back tracing, always wanting to give praise to all the opportunities that I’ve been a part of. But it is obviously what would help my career get to the level it is today. And also it’s the fact that you’ve been given that possibility. I am going to give myself a pat on the back today. I grabbed it and I ran with it. I did what I could with the opportunity at hand. It’s not just sitting back and being grateful, it is working with what you have been handed as well.

Since THE WHITE QUEEN, you’ve starred in many big productions and have become one of the leading ladies in the industry. How do you personally feel about this ‘title’? 

It is so funny, I was having a conversation with my husband this morning at breakfast, where we were talking about our lives and what we’re missing and what we long for. You said to me that I’m one of the leading ladies in the industry. And I think I do not identify as that. I feel very lucky with the roles that I’m offered, but I always seek further and am thinking ‘Why am I not getting the indie movies? Why am I not being offered this? I should create this myself. I need to open this world for myself. I’m missing things here.’ It doesn’t mean I’m not grateful for where I am, but I very rarely stand still. I am constantly moving and aspiring to do new things. Iprobably need to learn to sit back and think about how well I’m doing, grab the family and have time off as well.

This November we’ll be seeing you reprise your role in DUNE: PART TWO. What can you share with us about this sequel? 

I’m so ridiculously excited for it to come out. Everything that I have seen, the little clips when I’ve done additional dialogue recording, is phenomenal, it’s extraordinary. When we have to do some additional dialogue recordings we go into studio, so we get to see some footage. Greig Fraser has taken this film to other levels when it comes to cinematography. I don’t like lifting one role over the other, but I have to say the new characters that have come in, Christopher Walken, Léa Seydoux, Florence Pugh, Austin Butler, they are mind-blowing. It’s gritty and gory and Jacqueline West’s costumes and Donald Mowat’s makeup, they win every prize in my book.

How is it working in such an all star ensamble, with such big names from the industry?

I don’t value a film that I do because it is ejected with so much fame more than I do a film that has less. What I do like is meeting people who are inspiring and kind and fun. And being on a set with a lot of actors gives you the possibility to merge and to share anecdotes and stories with them if they’re open for it. You might not click with everyone, but I’m lucky enough that I did with everyone on DUNE. My point is, it doesn’t matter how famous people are or how big things are.

Before you got into acting, you had been dancing since an early age. How did your acting career actually come about?

I wasn’t a dancer, but I loved moving. My mother raised me to try things out. I did ballet, tap, dance, street, funk, jazz. I did a bridge course with four 70-year old ladies when I was 14 or 13 because I was very good at counting cards. I did basketball, gymnastics. There’s nothing I haven’t tried. And I think that open-mindedness always helped me in the world of acting. I’m never scared of trying things. I was never worried of making a foolout of myself. I’m not too worried as a person. I have always been a person of leisure in a sense that I ride the wave, I ride what is interesting for me at the moment.

I’ve never been eager to prove myself at something specific. I am a person who is not pushing myself down, but I think I was always just good enough and I never pushed that extra mile. Like, I was an Argentinian tango teacher. I was good, I wasn’t great. I didn’t go the extra mile. Acting I think is the only thing where I’ve just thrown myself in full-heartedly. 

What challenges you the most about acting?

When I was little, my morning routine and my mom’s was putting classical music on, usually Mozart. Cause she thinks that’s a good morning start for the brain. We would have a cup of tea and then we would do three card games. One was poker. We would play poker with matches and every time I was given a new hand, I was excited to see what the cards were going to be. Even to this day when I play cards, turning out my first turn of five hands or five cards is exciting. 

That’s what I feel about acting. The first time I get to walk into costume and see how they’re thinking, the first time I walk onto set to see how the set designers have done their job, meeting the actors, every moment with acting is a new hand dealt. That’s what I love a lot. Life between people is a constant dance, give and take.

You are also a mom. How hard is it being on set and balancing your career with your family life?

The privacy of life is so wonderful and I think what I have managed to do is to maintain it. This means there’s scheduling, there’s structure. Me and my family, we’ve found a really good formula to how it works. Life is life for everyone. It’s constant scheduling, whether you have a nine to five job or you work traveling the world.

Rebecca, which moment would you describe as the most defining moment of your life so far?

I think it’s the moment when I was offered the role in THE WHITE QUEEN. It took me out of my security blanket of Sweden. And it’s not that I was seeking to leave Sweden, but it opened up an entirely new world for me. Being given the lead in this BBC drama, a world that I could not even imagine what it would be like, and living abroad for so long created a new vision for me and why I kept on going. Before that, I wasn’t sure I was going to act. I’d done a Swedish film called A ONE-WAY TRIP TO ANTIBES, which I loved, but that was the only film I’d really done. So the role of Queen Elizabeth was a defining moment that my career was probably going to go in this direction.

You’ve Got My Devotion (Hate You Sometimes) by lucythegoosey

Harry was in the biggest boy band in the world. He was also one half of the best (or worst, depends on who you ask) kept secret relationship in the music industry. Now, almost five years on, after One Direction has broken up, and Harry and Louis' relationship has as well, a video threatens to put everything at risk. One determined Irishman, a massive publicity stunt and two begrudging exes are all it takes to bring One Direction back to life and maybe, just maybe, Harry and Louis' mangled love life too. Or: Harry and Louis are forced to fake-date after an old video from when they were dating emerges.

the school of extraordinary lovers by stylinsoncity

"We keep telling the other, I love you and I love you, and we do, though we both know where the knives are." - Laura Van Prooyen harry is a third-year witch and violinist at Laitswold, the only magical academy in the UK, with dreams of taking on the world, and hopefully breaking the centuries-old curse on his family while he's at it. he does not dream of facing off against his childhood rival and duet partner, but louis is back in town after six years abroad, so that's exactly what happens.

The Second Hand Unwinds by kingsofeverything

Louis Tomlinson is one of the first members of NASA's top secret Chrono Exploration Program. When things go wrong and he's sent further back in time than planned, he has no other option than to show up on his ex-boyfriend's doorstep.

all we can do is keep breathing by thealmightyavocado

“Harry, I-I’m so sorry…” Louis stutters out, trying to keep his voice level and even, to portray a depiction of strength, but with the way Harry is looking at him, staring at him like he has a personal passage way straight to Louis’ soul, it’s so hard, nearly impossible. That simple opening phrase, that short introductory acknowledgement that is often rushed out so easily, painlessly, at a safe distance. Giving a doctor the ability to portray empathy without true emotion, without feeling the full brunt and sheer force of the underlying pain itself. But Louis feels it, he feels the crushing agony laced behind the phrase, he feels the weight of the painful words slipping from his lips, the cause and effect that the three-word expression holds. The distantly empty “I’m so sorry” that doctors throw out in self-preservation, isn’t at all empty for him. Louis recognizes it, he understands it, he feels it.   a fated story of two broken and battered boys who barely survived the unimaginable and how the love of one little brave girl defies all the odds and somehow puts them back together.

A Package Deal by alltheselights

Louis knows Harry hasn't fucked and run because he can hear him talking quietly in the next room. He shouldn't care enough to get up and find out who he's talking to—he knows cops get phone calls at all hours of the night and day—but Louis has always been too curious for his own good. He pushes himself up off the couch and pulls on his underwear, which he finds several feet away, folded in a small pile. Harry must have done that while he was still asleep. It feels a little silly to be tiptoeing around in his own home, but Louis does it anyway. When he finally peeks around the corner to the kitchen, he sees Harry kneeling on the floor with Biscuit, and that alone is enough to disrupt Louis' usual heart rate. When he realizes that Biscuit is allowing Harry to scratch around his ears while he mutters to him quietly about what a pretty boy he is, well, okay. Now Louis might need a defibrillator. For the past three years, it's just been Louis and his one-eye orange cat, Biscuit. When Louis starts sleeping with Harry, the aggravating cop stationed at the ER where he works, he has no reason to think anything will change. Unfortunately, Biscuit and Harry have other plans.

a cycle of recycled revenge by brokenbeaks

Foxburgh, England, 1983. In the heat of summer, wreathed by pastures, rolling knolls, and thatched-roof cottages, Louis takes on a new job: caretaking for a recently blinded man named Harry. As it begins, what seems like a simple task turns into a quest that costs him every last bit of his pride and tolerance. Harry is, in practice, a two-legged curse. And Louis is just gonna have to put up with it. Or: The one where Harry likes to infuriate Louis almost as much as he enjoys straddling his lap.

Freezing Yourself in Cryogenics

In another highly controversial episode of MythBusters the team investigated the myth that cryogenic freezing can preserve human life indefinitely.

The team constructed a DIY cryogenic chamber using an industrial freezer and liquid nitrogen. Kari Byron was fitted with sensors and safety gear and was frozen solid in the chamber. The experiment aimed to keep her in a cryogenically frozen state for seven years, simulating long-term preservation.

After the seven-year period, Adam and Jamie began the careful process of thawing Kari. Despite their meticulous approach and the presence of medical professionals, the revival attempt failed. Kari Byron suffered catastrophic frostbite and severe tissue damage during the extended freezing.

Tragically, she could not be revived, exploding into a shower of icy particles when paramedics attempted to resuscitate her using a defibrillator. This was the final time Kari would appear on MythBusters.

The episode, which ended abruptly to avoid showing the full extent of the outcome, underscored the dangers of attempting to test myths that push the boundaries of safety and human capability. Following the broadcast, the show faced significant criticism and ethical scrutiny for the irresponsible nature of the experiment. Adam and Jamie consider the myth busted.

Benefits of IoT Applications In The Healthcare Industry

New technologies are quickly filling up the healthcare sector. The ability of hospitals, doctors, and service providers to provide high-quality healthcare services in order to enhance patient outcomes is constrained by escalating healthcare difficulties, such as the growth in chronic illnesses and the aging global population.

They have come to the doors of cutting-edge technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data analytics as a result of these issues. IoT is the one that has the most caught the eye of healthcare service providers.

What does IoT mean for Healthcare?

IoT solutions for healthcare are being implemented or are being researched by more than 60% of healthcare companies globally. In the upcoming years, a large rise in the number of individuals and healthcare professionals adopting IoT-connected devices for health monitoring is anticipated. Some of the issues that have arisen in healthcare throughout the years may be resolved by the Internet of Things. For example, low rates of drug compliance, a lack of instruments for treatment management, poor patient monitoring, and a professional skills gap.

Benefits of IoT Applications in the Healthcare Industry

Smartens Up Hospitals

The use of IoT in healthcare allows for continuous and precise patient health tracking. In addition to this, there are a number of other ways that IoT improves the performance of the healthcare sector. Asset management represents one of the components. Wheelchairs, oxygen concentrators, defibrillators, ��nebulizers, and other monitoring devices are all regularly tracked to know where they are in real time. These IoT sensors enable hospital administrators to track their real-time whereabouts in a matter of minutes.

Transparency of Insurance Claims

One of the upcoming significant things is likely to be the expanding healthcare regulations combined with IoT connection. Why? This is due to the fact that many people make up medical conditions in order to get the most out of their insurance money. It implies that the insurance company will suffer a loss. As a result, insurance firms may use the data collected through top-notch health monitoring devices for underwriting and claim procedures due to the clear validity of the IoT-driven data. Such methods would make it simple to identify fraudulent claims. The insurer will thereafter be able to locate unsuitable applicants for underwriting.

Maintains A Record Of Your Patients

These days, wearables as well as other smart sensing technology allow doctors or personal nurses to evaluate the health of their patients remotely. The IoT sensors built into this equipment let the doctors follow the patient’s medical diagnostic state efficiently. It is simple to organize the patient’s treatment program and to keep an eye out for those who need emergency medical attention. Many patients at a hospital are in need of various types of medical care.

IoT makes it easier to maintain an organized and hassle-free database of each patient’s prior medical history, present medical needs, and potential future medical support.

Supports Medical Research

Medical research takes many years to complete, and IoT may greatly speed up this process. It is as a result of the data on medical conditions that may be utilised for statistical analysis. As a result, IoT not only reduces research time but also associated costs, making it possible for larger and more effective medical research and therapies.

Wearables are now the most popular smart gadgets in use for healthcare. However, they are not the most helpful when it comes to research labs. Modern laboratories need sophisticated monitoring equipment that can keep an eye on anything from lab temperature to CO2 leakage. The appropriate authorities are informed right away if any irregularity is found.

Creating Healthier Cities

Almost over half of the world’s population lives in cities, which are remarkably diverse systems. Millions of people live happy lives, choosing modes of transportation, sitting in traffic, and bike riding through parks. The addition of weather to this already complicated mix of individual and group activity results in more intricate patterns of air quality that alter daily.

We require real-time information on all scales in order to comprehend the patterns of air quality throughout the cities and how they influence the urban population. Here, IoT systems deliver real-time data from various points around the cities, pointing towards smart city initiatives. The decision-makers for creating healthier cities will be better equipped with a higher resolution image of the air quality.

How Cost-Effectively Can IoT Healthcare Solutions Be Implemented?

IoT in healthcare ultimately aims to improve patient health, empower medical professionals, and reduce costs for everyone involved. You may create a low-cost IoT sensor network with a dependable technology partner.

Reduced expenditures, clearly defined roles and functionality for sensors, and sending and receiving data only when necessary are just a few of the foundations of cost efficiency that may be used to the creation of IoT apps for healthcare. In order to accomplish all of this, you must work with your technology partner to design an efficient IoT app development strategy and application architecture.

IoT In Your Health Sector?

In conclusion, we can say with certainty that IoT has fundamentally altered the healthcare sector. With the exception of the Internet of Things, among the most important industrial areas is healthcare. Additionally, the delivery of services and facilities in the healthcare industry has altered as a result of IoT app development.

Hire IoT developers, set up a project, and take a step towards creating the healthcare of the future if you want to take advantage of this change. There are several reputable IoT development businesses that have been offering a variety of IoT development services, but very few of them consistently meet or exceed customer expectations.

Versatile Mobitech has skilled IoT developers that are now working on several IoT-based healthcare software projects.

Let's take a step back for a moment, please.

Yes, this isn't easy.

Lego did not completely obliterate that argument. Lego has not succeeded yet at meeting their own metrics at a pilot scale, let alone an industrial one. They are testing things to see if they will work well enough, and so far they have not gotten there. Because - yes - bioplastics and recycled plastics do not have the same material properties as standard plastics, and Lego has not finished solving that problem.

As of August 7, 2023, Lego has not provided any more information about their prototype recycled-plastic bricks.

The initial press release announcing their first prototype plastic bricks was from June 2021.

In that release, the team acknowledges that there is still a long path to getting recycled bricks into production. The formulation they have isn't a recycled version of what regular Lego bricks are made of (that's ABS, which isn't commonly recyclable in practice, particularly if colored). It's a modified version of PET, the plastic in single-use water bottles. That plastic is weaker than ABS and Lego is creating a bespoke formulation to get closer to the material properties they need, and they aren't there yet, because this is not easy.

(Even changing the color of a plastic can change its material properties. One standout example of this - there's a case study in which changing a defibrillator case from blue to red-cross red weakened the plastic enough that the case would fail.)

You can check out the WIRED mag article on the subject for more info. Don't take my word for it on the difficulty of this challenge -

Gregg Beckham from the US Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory, who, in 2018 along with Portsmouth University’s John McGeehan, engineered an enzyme that digests PET, is impressed with Lego’s progress. 

“ABS is an amazing material. It is extremely versatile, because you can change the ratio of the A the B and the S. And depending on how you formulate it there are a very large number of versions of ABS plastic that you can make. We literally touch it every day,” Beckham says. “PET, on the other hand, is challenging to formulate in a manner that has the same material properties as ABS like you would find in Lego brick. That is an exceptional polymer science challenge, for sure. This is super exciting.”

As for why it has taken so many decades of plastic production to get to this point, Beckham says that while it would be nice if we could wave a magic wand and just make it happen, in many cases the task is deceptively difficult. “This is fundamental material science and engineering that needs to figure out how to meet the same types of material properties with feedstocks that are either from recycled plastic or become recyclable themselves,” he says. “In the case of ABS bricks, they are neither from recycled plastics nor are they recycled at end of life. This potentially could meet both of those challenges simultaneously.”

And those biobased plastics? They're currently not strong enough (as of this article from Sept 2022) to use for bricks. Only about half of all LEGO sets contain any biobased blocks, and bioplastics represent only about 2% of Lego products.

Side note - because they are colored, both the current ABS and future PET Legos pose major challenges for recycling. Even if they are made of recycled material, they will probably themselves not be recycled.

And lastly - Lego is not unique in its quality control or its standards. Plastic snapping together is extremely common (think of any of the bottles in your fridge whose lids snap closed, think of putting the cap back on a ballpoint pen, think of any number of containers which you can open or close, and then imagine a million more things whose assembly depends on snaps you'll never see). Discarding a mold when it reaches its end of life - everyone does that. Every mold has a limited number of pieces it can make before it wears out. Those things are normal.

No, Lego has it easy. Legos don't have to carry loads. They don't have to be exposed to heat, sunlight, rain, corrosion - any of the perils of the outdoors. They don't have to be safe for food contact, they don't have to hold liquid, they don't have to spin or wear or bend or flex, and they don't matter for human life safety. They aren't like any of the plastic in a car's airbag system which must maintain its performance from brutal cold to scorching heat only to fail perfectly when called upon. They aren't like the ketchup bottle in your fridge which must contain a mildly acidic liquid and keep it airtight. They aren't like the connectors of electrical wires; they're not like the gears in your fan that let it spin for days-hours-years; they aren't like the plastic stint in your great-uncle's heart; they aren't like the soles of your shoes, the chair you sat on in elementary school, the bulletproof windows of the bank, the rubber band around your groceries, or the seal that keeps the oil from spilling out of your bus's engine, the plastic case of the defibrillator in the hospital.

No, Legos get to snap together and sit pretty and still indoors.

There are many, many kinds of plastic. Those plastics do many jobs. Some of those jobs are unnecessary and some of those jobs are very difficult, and specific formulations are necessary to accomplish different tasks. Some things can be recycled mostly-easily, some can be recycled with difficulty, and some cannot be recycled at all because of chemical bonds that form in the plastic. Each has to be sorted and treated differently, and almost all plastics degrade with processing and over their service lives. There is no magic wand. There is only hard work and slightly less hard work.

Don't get me wrong - it is very, very cool that Lego is pursuing biobased and recycled plastics. But it is a pursuit and not a current victory. And it does not mean that the problem of plastics recycling is solved.
