As per our research analysis, the global medical suction devices market size was worth USD 889.95 million in 2024. It is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.9% to reach USD 1077.56 million by 2029.
Medical suction devices, also known as aspirators, are used to remove blocked airways caused by saliva, blood, vomit, or other body fluids so that a patient can breathe. Medical suction is important in pulmonary hygiene because it removes fluid from the airways and prevents microorganism formation. These suction devices are powered by mechanical hand pumps, batteries or electricity. Hospital suction devices are used in a variety of medical settings. When a patient is unable to extract secretions from the body, medical suction devices are used. A suction device that has been specially modified can also be used for other treatments such as gastrointestinal, trauma, and pleural drainage. To prevent any cross-contamination, medical suction instruments must be disinfected after use. Suction regulators usually provide suction in many hospitals and other health facilities linked to a central medical vacuum supply by a pipeline system.
This may necessitate routine suctioning, particularly in patients with artificial airways. As a result, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) affects about 65 million people globally and kills 3 million people each year, making it the third leading cause of death. Other respiratory diseases also demand the usage of medical suction devices. Asthma affected an estimated 262 million people in 2019 and killed 461000 people, according to the WHO. Many asthma-related deaths occur in low- and lower-middle-income countries, where underdiagnosis and undertreatment are common. For decades, acute lower respiratory tract infections have been among the top three causes of death and injuries among both children and adults, accounting for over 34 million episodes per year. As a result, many hospitals raise their demand for medical suction devices to accommodate the growing number of patients. The growing number of surgical procedures is predicted to drive growth in the global medical suction devices market.
Technological advancements in these devices are also driving the global medical suction devices market. Cutting-edge technologies make equipment smaller, heavier, and safer, while innovative technology allows tracking, diagnosing, and even logging a breeze. Compact and portable suction devices, which are now being developed, change the treatment process from conventional to home care. Portable medical suction devices are dependable, simple to use, and long-lasting, which increases the demand for medical suction devices, especially for home healthcare. The recently advanced blood suction system, based on a roller pump, prevents turbulences and has many individualized suction modes. Other specialized catheters include a hyper-curved catheter and an oropharyngeal evacuation method, all of which have saved many lives. These technological advancements have increased the market for medical suction devices in the last decade and soon.
Strict rules and guidelines to be followed during the manufacturing process of the suction pumps or devices and FDA approvals for the new products are some factors that restrain the medical suction devices market. Limited reimbursements approved for home care is also hampering the market growth of medical suction devices. Lack of complete knowledge about suction devices among the people is another one that is hindering the market growth.
