Global Tracheostomy Tube Market - 2023-2030

Global Tracheostomy Tube Market - 2023-2030

Global tracheostomy tube market reached US$ XX million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ XX million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period 2023-2030.

A tracheostomy is a surgical procedure involving making an incision in the neck to insert a tube into the trachea, which is known as a tracheostomy tube. A tracheostomy tube is an artificial airway that is surgically placed directly into the trachea through an opening in the throat. It bypasses the upper airway as a means to establish a connection for breathing. Tracheostomy tubes facilitate positive pressure ventilation, allow for access for secretion removal, and provide a patent airway for patients with obstructed upper airways.

A tracheostomy provides an air passage that helps to breathe when the usual route for breathing is somehow blocked or reduced. A tracheostomy tube is often needed when health problems require long-term use of a machine (ventilator) to help breathe. In rare cases, an emergency tracheotomy is performed when the airway is suddenly blocked, such as after a traumatic injury to the face or neck. When a tracheostomy is no longer needed, it's allowed to heal shut or is surgically closed. For some people, a tracheostomy is permanent.

Market Dynamics: Drivers

Increasing advancements in the tracheostomy tubes

The increasing advancements in tracheostomy tubes is expected to drive the market over the forecast period. The advancements in these tubes helps to provide a wide range of options for patients to choose according to the patients choice. Advanced tracheostomy tubes often come with designs that prioritize patient comfort. Features such as softer materials, reduced irritation, and ergonomic designs contribute to improved patient tolerance and compliance, leading to increased acceptance of tracheostomy tubes.

For instance, in January 2020, Smiths Medical, a global medical device manufacturer, has launched a new Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) tracheostomy tube portfolio to its family of tracheostomy tubes. When caring for a patient with a tracheostomy, a tube should be chosen to best suit the patient’s specific clinical need. The new tracheostomy tubes have options for a variety of patients.

Moreover, technological innovations aim to address common complications associated with tracheostomy tubes, such as infections, granuloma formation, and tracheal stenosis. By minimizing these risks, advanced tracheostomy tubes enhance the safety profile of the procedure, encouraging patients to opt for this intervention when needed. The increasing airway disorders such as asthma are increasing the demand for tracheostomy tubes.

For instance, according to the CDC's 2020 National Health Interview Surveys (NHIS), an estimated 25.2 million adults, including 4.2 million children, have asthma in the United States. In 2020, more than 10.3 million asthmatics, including approximately 1.8 million children, reported having one or more asthma attacks. Therefore, orotracheal intubation is preferred for asthmatic patients in acute respiratory distress. Thus, from the above statements, the market is expected to drive market growth.

Additionally, advancements in materials and design led to tracheostomy tubes with improved functionality. This includes features like integrated suction systems, cuffs for better sealing, and subglottic suctioning, all of which contribute to better respiratory support and management. Some advanced tracheostomy tubes offer customization options to meet the unique needs of individual patients.

Further, the increasing prevalence of airway disorders, increasing clinical trials, increasing awareness about the tubes and development of technologically advanced tubes with advanced features are the factors expected to drive the market over the forecast period.

Restraints

Factors such as complications and risks associated with the tubes such as infection, pneumomediastinum, damage to the larynx or trachea, obstruction in the tracheostomy tube, accidental decannulation, tracheomalacia, tracheoesophageal fistula, tracheal stenosis and bleeding, lack of skilled professionals and the high cost of the tubes are expected to hamper the market.

Segment Analysis

The global tracheostomy tube market is segmented based on type, component, material, end-user and region.

The polyvinyl chloride (PVC) tubes segment accounted for approximately 46.3% of the tracheostomy tube market share

The polyvinyl chloride (PVC) tubes segment is expected to hold the largest market share over the forecast period. PVC softens at body temperature, conforming to patient anatomy and centering the tube in the trachea. PVC is generally considered biocompatible, meaning it is well-tolerated by the human body. This is a crucial characteristic of materials used in the tracheostomy tubes.

Moreover, PVC tubes are also known for their flexibility, which is essential for medical tubing applications. They can be easily shaped and molded to suit the specific requirements of tracheostomy tubes. PVC is also durable and resistant to breakage, which offers wide advantages for patients using tracheostomy tubes. PVC tubes are often transparent, allows to visually inspect fluids passing through the tube. This transparency is advantageous for monitoring and assessing the patient's condition.

Furthermore, PVC can be easily sterilized, making it suitable for maintaining sterility. PVC is a cost-effective material, which is an important consideration for tracheostomy tubes. PVC is resistant to many chemicals, which is beneficial for applications where the tube may come into contact with various fluids and medications. Thus, owing to the above factors, the segment is expected to largest market share.

Geographical Analysis

North America accounted for approximately 40.2% of the market share

North America region is expected to hold the largest market share over the forecast period owing to the strong presence of major players and increasing adoption of tracheostomy tubes. North America especially the United States is home to many major players such as medical device companies manufacturing tracheostomy tubes. These companies often have well-established and extensive research and development capabilities and a strong market presence. The presence of major players actively performing in clinical trials, leads to the advancements in the tracheostomy tubes.

In addition, the region is also known for the increasing adoption of tracheostomy tubes for various airway applications. The aging population and the prevalence of respiratory conditions contribute to the growing adoption of tracheostomy tubes in the region. As the population ages, there is an increased likelihood of respiratory issues, necessitating interventions such as tracheostomy procedures by using tracheostomy tubes. The increasing adoption leads to the development of advanced tubes.

For instance, on June 21, 2023, Teleflex Incorporated, a leading global provider of medical technologies for critical care and surgery, revealed a global recall of affected batches of the below-mentioned Rüsch Endotracheal Tube products. The Rüsch Endotracheal Tube devices are indicated for oral or nasal intubation for airway management via insertion into a patient’s tracheal via nose or mouth. Stylets are used to aid the insertion of endotracheal tubes into the trachea.

Competitive Landscape

The major global players in the tracheostomy tube market include Teleflex Incorporated, Medtronic plc, Healthcare 21 Ltd, Advin Health Care, Gcmedica Enterprise Ltd., Global Medikit Limited, Angiplast Pvt Ltd., Coloplast Group, Boston Medical Products Inc. and TRACOE medical GmbH among others.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the global tracheostomy tube market. COVID-19 primarily affects the respiratory system, and severe cases often require intensive respiratory support. This increased the demand for ventilators and other devices including tracheostomy tubes, to assist in the management of critically ill patients.

The pandemic created unprecedented challenges to the market by temporarily disrupting many clinical trials and research activities due to the redirected focus on the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic also disrupted the supply chain of devices globally.
