The market is anticipated to propel during forecasted years owing to the expanding patient population and the rise in medical and surgical procedures.

Market Dynamics:

Growth Drivers: One of the most important factors impacting the US anesthesia drugs and devices market is rising geriatric population. Steady growth in aging population raised the incidence of the chronic condition over the past decade. This had caused increasing number of surgical procedures of elderly patients. Additionally, benefits such as advances in surgery and anesthesia can improve function and quality of life for older patients also supported market growth. Thus, the positive acceleration in aging population consequently supported the growth of the anesthesia drugs and devices market in the US. Furthermore, the market has been growing over the past few years, due to factors such as growing healthcare expenditure, increase in monitored anesthesia use, increase in number of approval for anesthesia drugs and many other factors.

Challenges: However, the market has been confronted with some challenges specifically, lack of skilled anesthesiologist, etc.

Trends: The market is projected to grow at a fast pace during the forecast period, due to various latest trends such as the escalating establishment of ambulatory surgical centers (ASC), technological enhancement of anesthesia devices, etc. Technology upgradation such as Closed loop TIVA and Ultrasound-Guided Regional Anesthesia (UGRA) are expected to propel the US drug and devices market during forecasted years.

Impact Analysis of COVID-19 and Way Forward:

The surge in the coronavirus virus cases worldwide resulted in the utilization of all available intensive care unit (ICU) ventilators and anesthesia machines for longer-term ventilation of COVID-19 or other critically ill patients. In hospitals, the administration of inhalation anesthetics for sedation during longer-term ventilation with anesthesia machines was also increased. The effect of COVID-19 on surgical procedures is far and wide, going from the labor force and staffing issues, procedural prioritization, and viral transmission hazard intraoperatively. Due to the emergence of the pandemic situation, demand for anesthesia drugs decreased slightly in 2020, resulting in surgeries being postponed or canceled. However, as activities resume, all of the elective surgeries that had been postponed are now being completed, increasing anesthesia drug consumption.
