Global Respiratory Devices Market Share Insights:

• Based on type, the therapeutic devices segment accounted for the major share of the global respiratory devices market in 2022.
• Based on end-user, the hospital segment led the respiratory devices market in 2022.
• The North American region captured the leading respiratory devices market share worldwide in 2022

The prevalence of respiratory diseases will continue to rise as our global population ages and the incidence of chronic diseases, such as COPD and asthma, increases exponentially. Hence the demand for respiratory devices will keep growing. In recent years patients with respiratory diseases have used various devices which help remove mucus from the airways and improve pulmonary function.

MARKET DRIVERS:

YOY growth in the patient count suffering from respiratory diseases growing aging population across the globe is propelling the respiratory devices market growth.

In addition, the high prevalence of smoking, rising urbanization and pollution levels, increasing incidence of preterm births, and lifestyle changes are expected to boost the market’s growth rate. Furthermore, infectious respiratory diseases directly drive demand for respiratory care. The increased incidence of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is another major factor driving the respiratory devices market growth. According to an article published by National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), OSA is one of the significant health concerns worldwide, impacting 1 billion people aged between 30 to 79 years worldwide.

The growing number of infectious diseases is anticipated to reflect in the growth of the respiratory devices market. COVID-19 is the most recent and significant of these diseases; the pandemic has resulted in a surge in demand for personal protection equipment (PPE) and ventilators, among others. The need for ventilators has also grown due to the COVID-19 outbreak, resulting in governmental and industrial support for driving the pace of manufacturing. It indicates the emphasis on respiratory care in the background of a pandemic; the market is expected to show a healthy growth rate.

MARKET RESTRAINTS:

However, lack of awareness leading to a large underdiagnosed and undertreated population and the harmful effects of specific respiratory care devices on neonates are expected to have a negative impact on the respiratory devices market growth. In addition, the medical industry and respiratory care diagnostic are facing the challenge of a lack of reimbursements for various diagnostic tests. Reimbursement policies are dispersed in Europe and are available only for PAP devices and oral appliances in select countries (devices not covered by insurance have a low market share in the region). Also, most countries in the Asian and RoW regions have negligible reimbursement coverage for respiratory care devices.

COVID-19 Impact on the global respiratory devices market:

The COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan, China, led to the rapid establishment of several hospitals for treating the increasing number of patients. It has been mirrored in other countries as well. Italy and the U.S. also built large hospitals within days to accommodate a growing patient population. In New York, the U.S., the army converted the Javits convention center into a 2,900-bed hospital within four days. Critical care devices are being manufactured in increased quantities to meet growing demand. The state of affairs resulting from the pandemic has resulted in alliances between healthcare and non-healthcare industries to manufacture respiratory care devices. Considering the above factors, the demand for respiratory devices has grown significantly due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. With the acceleration of COVID-19, the global respiratory devices market is anticipated to showcase much better growth during the forecast period.
