Airway Clearance Devices Market Opportunity, Growth Drivers, Industry Trend Analysis, and Forecast 2025 – 2034

The Global Airway Clearance Devices Market reached USD 648.6 million in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.8% during 2025-2034. This growth is driven by several factors, including ongoing technological advancements, the rising prevalence of chronic respiratory diseases, an aging population, and the increasing incidence of hospital-acquired infections, among others.

The market is segmented by device type, with key categories including intrapulmonary percussive ventilation (IPV), high-frequency chest wall oscillation (HFCWO), mechanical cough assist devices, flutter mucus clearance devices, positive expiratory pressure (PEP), and others. Among these, the HFCWO segment led the market in 2024, generating significant revenue. HFCWO devices are gaining popularity due to their non-invasive nature, offering patients a comfortable airway clearance method. These devices are easy to use and deliver consistent therapy without requiring active participation from the patient, making them particularly suitable for elderly and pediatric patients.

In terms of age group, the market is divided into adult and pediatric segments. The adult segment held the largest share in 2024 and is expected to continue its dominance throughout the forecast period, reaching a market value of USD 654 million through 2034. Adults, particularly those recovering from thoracic or abdominal surgeries or respiratory infections, often need airway clearance therapy to avoid complications. This demand is further fueled by the growing trend of home-based treatments. Adults increasingly prefer portable, user-friendly airway clearance devices that enable them to manage chronic respiratory conditions from the comfort of their own homes, reducing the need for frequent hospital visits.

North American airway clearance devices market accounted for USD 254.6 million in 2024 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3% during 2025–2034. North America has a high incidence of chronic respiratory conditions, which significantly contributes to the demand for advanced airway clearance technologies. The region’s well-established healthcare infrastructure and widespread access to innovative medical devices make it an ideal environment for the adoption of airway clearance devices in both clinical and home care settings. This trend is expected to drive continued market growth, improving patient management and outcomes across the region.
