Latin America Medical Suction Devices Market

Latin America Medical Suction Devices Market Size & Growth (2022 to 2027):

The size of the Medical Suction Devices Market in Latin America was worth USD 90.92 million in 2022. It is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.5% to reach USD 107.99 million by 2027 during the forecast period 2022 to 2027.

The market for medical suction devices in Latin America is predicted to develop as the prevalence of chronic diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and lung cancer rises. For example, the highest mortality rates due to lung cancer in both genders were observed in the north of Mexico, whereas lung cancer was more prevalent in women. Moreover, the growing number of nosocomial infections has increased the demand for medical suction devices in Latin America.

On the other hand, another significant factor driving the Latin American medical suction devices market growth is the increase in the old age population, who predominantly suffer from chronic diseases. In 2015, the national population in Brazil was estimated at 458.4 million. This number will constantly increase, mainly due increasing birth rate and death rate in the region. As a result, the elderly population (65 years and over) is expected to grow more than 15% in 2025.

 In addition, the market growth is further driven by the increased adoption of point-of-care suction devices. The portable suction devices are expected to show rapid growth during the forecast period due to their increasing popularity in-home healthcare services. Mobile medical devices are easy to use and affordable for patients. The usage of these suction devices is encouraged by physicians to reduce hospital visits. In addition, the use of these devices can be seen in nursing homes and emergency centers. With increased awareness about the benefits of these devices, these factors will drive the Latin American medical suction devices market for the coming years.

However, key factors such as the lack of reimbursement policies for suction devices in developing economies and the high cost of portable devices are hampering the market's growth. Moreover, strict local regulatory guidelines and tough market competition will impact the development of the Latin American medical suction devices market.
