Airway Management Devices - Market Insights, Competitive Landscape and Market Forecast–2027
Airway Management Devices Market By Type (Infraglottic Devices [Endotracheal Tubes, Tracheostomy Tubes, Others], Supraglottic Devices [Oropharyngeal Devices, Nasopharyngeal Devices, Laryngeal Airway Devices, Others], Resuscitators, Laryngoscopes, and Others), By Application (Emergency Medicine, Anesthesia, and Others), By End-User (Hospitals, Ambulatory Surgical Care Centers, and Others), By Geography, is expected to grow at a steady CAGR forecast till 2027 owing to the favorable reimbursement policies and increasing prevalence of chronic respiratory diseases
Global Airway Management Devices Market was valued at USD 1.60 billion in 2021, growing at a CAGR of 6.21% during the forecast period from 2022 to 2027, to reach USD 2.29 billion by 2027. The demand for Airway Management Devices is primarily attributed to the rising prevalence of chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma and COPD, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, increasing admissions across emergency & intensive care units, increasing air pollution, rise in geriatric population, growing investments in healthcare infrastructure, favorable reimbursement coverage across developed countries.
Airway Management Devices Market Dynamics:
Airway Management Devices Market has significantly increased owing to the growing burden of respiratory diseases throughout the world, and these devices play an important role in clearing the airway passage for pulmonary disorders such as COPD, asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, and acute pneumonia. As per World Health Organization (WHO) 2019, asthma affected an estimated 262 million people and caused 461,000 deaths globally. Additionally, Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third-most-leading cause of death, causing 3.23 million deaths worldwide. Moreover, environmental exposure to tobacco smoke, indoor air pollution, and occupational dust, fumes, and chemicals are important risk factors for COPD. As per WHO 2021 statistics, 99% of the world population was living in places where the WHO air quality guidelines levels were not met, in 2019.
An increase in the aging population and changes in social behavior contributes to the constant increase in these common and expensive long-term health problems. The high prevalence of respiratory diseases coupled with an increase in anesthesia usage, owing to the rise in the number of surgeries, is expected to propel the demand for advanced airway management devices, thus, exerting a positive impact on the overall Global Airway Management Devices Market growth. In addition, key players are entering into strategic collaborations to advance at a great pace, stimulated by innovations in technologies.
Also, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic had a profound impact on the global Airway Management Devices Market. A large number of patients required intubation which comes with chances of fatal airway complications. To provide easy breathing support to patients, innovations to develop unique devices took place, which increased the demand for Airway Management Devices, further favoring the growth of the Airway Management Devices market.
For instance, Era’s Lucknow Medical College and Hospital (India) developed and applied for the patent of a novel video laryngoscope. The traditional laryngoscopes being bulky, expensive, and without a camera, replacing with the innovative device which is cheaper, provides seamless intubation with constant oxygen supply and camera that can be accessed on a phone, tablet, or monitor.
Certain factors such as lack of skilled professionals, harmful effects associated with the devices, and also the high cost of the devices pose a minor hurdle for the growth of the Airway Management Devices market.
Airway Management Devices Market Segment Analysis:
Airway Management Devices Market by Type (Infraglottic [Endotracheal Tubes, Tracheostomy Tubes, Others], Supraglottic [Oropharyngeal Devices, Nasopharyngeal Devices, Laryngeal Airway Devices, Others], Resuscitators, Laryngoscopes, and Others), Airway Management Devices Market by Application (Emergency Medicine, Anaesthesia, and Others), Airway Management Devices Market by End User (Hospitals, Ambulatory Surgical Care Centers, and Others), and Airway Management Devices Market by Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World).
In the Global Airway Management Devices market by type segment, the Supraglottic devices market segment will grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period from 2022-2027.
The rapid growth of this product segment can be attributed to the fact that these devices provide convenient tracheal placement, bypass the upper airway, provides low airway resistance, allows both positive pressure and spontaneous ventilation, and many others, which promotes their utility in a wide range of applications, thereby, creating a preference among patients and physicians toward these devices. Additionally, the growing prevalence of chronic respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and respiratory tract infections are increasing the incidence of acute respiratory failure, thereby driving the demand for procedures and supraglottic devices globally.
Moreover, favorable reimbursement policies by the government bodies are expected to enhance the market potential of this equipment. Hence, all the above-mentioned factors are expected to drive the segment growth of the Airway Management Devices market.
North America is expected to dominate the overall Airway Management Devices Market:
Among all the other regions, North America is expected to dominate the overall Airway Management Devices market during the forecast period. This domination can be primarily attributed to the rising prevalence of chronic respiratory conditions, rising levels of air pollution, increase in expenditure on these devices, and technological advancements in this region.
Further, the United States represents the largest market worldwide supported by the rising levels of air pollution, developed healthcare system and infrastructure, favorable reimbursement policies. For instance, in 2020, about 68 million tons of pollution were emitted into the atmosphere in the United States as per the United States Environmental Protection Agency, 2021 report. Thus, these critical condition is likely to increase the risk of developing COPD, Asthma and other conditions, thereby augmenting the market for Airway Management Devices market. In addition, rising surgical procedures is also one of the major factors driving the Airway Management Devices market growth.
Furthermore, a significant number of prominent vendors, commercialization activities such as merger acquisition, collaboration, and others among major key players, also new product launches are the factors that are expected to drive the market. For instance, in September 2019, Olympus launched two video rhino-laryngoscopes specifically designed for laryngological examinations. Hence, contributing to the Airway Management Devices market growth.
Asia-Pacific region has the future potential growth for the Global Airway Management Devices. This is owing to the rising burden of the geriatric population who are susceptible to developing chronic respiratory disorders. Rapid urbanization, increase in disposable income, penetration by emerging local players in the market, rising awareness related to advanced healthcare technologies is likely to surge the Airway Management Devices market during the forecasted period.
