Global Airway Management Devices Market: Overview

The assessment, planning, and slew of medical methods required for preserving and restoring ventilation of an individual’s room is termed airway management. Air can enter the lungs from either the nose or mouth through open airways and hence the use of airway management equipment is gaining prominence in hospitals, clinics, and surgical ambulatory centers. Lack of airway control in blood oxygen levels in individuals when reduced can prove to be fatal. Thus, in these conditions airway management devices are utilized. Moreover, the various kinds of medical equipment necessary for maintaining individual airway are nasopharyngeal airway (NPA), oropharyngeal airway (OPA), and endotracheal airway (ETA).

Global Airway Management Devices Market: Growth Factors

Rise in the occurrence of respiratory and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases is the key factor steering the expansion of the global airway management devices market. According to WHO, nearly more than 60 million persons across the globe are affected due to mild as well as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The escalating need for cutting-edge technologies has translated into a massive rise in performing surgeries along with using anesthesia, thereby driving the global market demand.

Apart from this, lung-related treatments are for an elongated period in the case of children and adults. Furthermore, a rise in the demand for emergency care during time of chronic diseases is likely to contribute majorly to the global market earnings. Notably, an increase in the elderly population prone to chronic respiratory diseases is likely to play a key role in increasing product penetration in the healthcare sector, thereby driving global market trends. New product launches will play a pivotal role in leveraging the growth of the global market. For instance, in the second quarter of 2024, Medtronic plc introduced SonarMed, an airway monitoring device, used for monitoring the cause of obstruction in endotracheal tubes. Such moves will expand the scope of the global market space in the upcoming years.

Restraints:

Low product penetration in developing regions can hinder global industry growth over 2023-2030

Less product acceptance in emerging economies owing to their high costs along with unfavorable healthcare insurance policies can impede the growth of the global airway management devices industry.

Opportunities:

Growing focus of players on research activities & product innovations can open new growth opportunities for the global market

With key players investing lucratively in the research & development activities pertaining to the manufacture of products with newly embedded features, the market for airway management devices is likely to expand by leaps & bounds in the years ahead.

Challenges:

Lack of availability of strong healthcare infrastructure in emerging economies can prove to the biggest challenge for the global industry

Improper healthcare facilities in developing as well as underdeveloped countries along with unmet medical needs of patients in these countries can create a big obstacle in the path of global airway management devices industry expansion.
