The India Anesthesia Devices Market size is estimated at USD 477.74 million in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 685.85 million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
COVID-19 has a large impact on all significant organ systems. Therefore, it is critical to consider the probability of postoperative problems when scheduling surgery following a COVID-19 diagnosis. According to the study "Impact of COVID-19 on Clinical Practices during Lockdown: A pan India Survey of Orthopaedic Surgeons" published in the Malaysian Orthopedic Journal in March 2021, elective surgery was canceled by the majority of hospitals (68.02%). When compared to the same period the previous year, there was a considerable decrease in the overall number of surgical procedures conducted. Due to the increase in coronavirus cases in India, all intensive care unit (ICU) ventilators and anesthetic equipment were used to provide longer-term ventilation for COVID-19 or other critically ill patients. In hospitals, there has also been an increase in the use of inhalation anesthetics for sedation during prolonged anesthesia machine ventilation. The impact of COVID-19 on surgical procedures is extensive, ranging from labour force and staffing problems to procedural prioritising and the risk of intraoperative viral transmission.
The primary growth factor for the market is the increasing technological advances in the anesthesia devices. Furthermore, the increasing number of surgeries is also boosting the market growth. The growing number of surgeries can be attributed to increasing cardiovascular diseases, accidents, and chronic conditions. According to the study titled "Estimation of the National Surgical Needs in India by Enumerating the Surgical Procedures in an Urban Community Under Universal Health Coverage" published in the World Journal of Surgery in September 2021, compared to the global average of 5000 procedures per 100,000 people, an annual total of 3646 surgeries were calculated to be required to address the surgical demands of the Indian population. The primary contributors to the surgical demands include Caesarean sections, cataract surgeries, fracture surgeries, and hernia surgeries. In India, ophthalmology (25.3%), cataract surgery (22.8%), and other eye surgeries (2.5%) are the most frequent procedures performed each year. Additionally, obstetrics and gynaecology (14.1%) and general surgery (18.3%) procedures were performed. One-fourth of all surgeries conducted on women were 691 breast and gynaecological procedures. Thus, growing number surgeries performed in India it is expected that the demand for anesthesia devices is expected to increase to performed these surgery, hence boosting the market growth over the forecast period.
Thus. all aforementioned factors expected to boost the market growth over the forecast period. However, high cost of devices and reimbursement issues restrain the market growth.
Anesthesia monitors keep track of and show the patient's exposure to anesthetic agents such as gases, medications, and fluids. These are used during surgeries to monitor the health of the patients and their response to the anesthetic indication. The integration of numerous features, including oxygen saturation level, carbon dioxide level, heart rate, and blood pressure, together with decision support systems and data analysis to help physicians acquire better patient insights, is promoting market expansion.
Anesthesia monitors are expensive capital equipment and generate the highest revenue per unit volume when compared to other anesthesia devices, which is the primary reason for its largest market share. With the rise in the number of surgeries, their demand is also expected to grow steadily over the forecast period.
According to the study titled "India Joining the World of Hip and Knee Registries: Present Status-A Leap Forward" published in the Indian Journal of Orthopedics in May 2021, the number of knee arthroplasty surgeries performed in India in 2020 was 20,000, while the country's hip arthroplasty rate is expected to grow at the highest pace in the world from the years 2020 to 2026. As a result, the need for anesthesia monitors is anticipated to increase over the forecast period due to the increasing number of procedures that required anesthesia.
The vendors in the anesthesia market offer a broad range of anesthesia and respiratory devices. Additionally, the introduction of low priced multi-featured devices is increasing the product competition in the market, within the manufacturers. The key players operating in the market for anesthesia and respiratory devices include GE Healthcare, Becton, Dickinson & Company, and Astra Zeneca PLC. India has a large base of domestic medical device manufacturers, who are capable of supplying low cost alternative anesthesia devices, thereby, increasing the overall competition in the market.
