Global Respiratory Care Devices Market Trends:

Growing Prevalence of Respiratory Diseases

Respiratory diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, sleep apnea, etc., are significant global health issues that affect individuals worldwide. The increasing prevalence of these diseases, the expanding aging population, the elevating air pollution levels, and lifestyle changes are driving the demand for respiratory care devices. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, in 2022, there were nearly 4.6% of adults who have been diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema, or chronic bronchitis in the United States. Moreover, according to the report published by WHO in 2023, the number of people affected by asthma reached 262 million and caused 45,5000 deaths. Respiratory care devices play a crucial role in the management and treatment of respiratory diseases. These devices help improve lung function, relieve symptoms, and enhance the quality of life for patients with respiratory conditions. Apart from this, the rising adoption of unhealthy lifestyles, coupled with the consumption of alcohol and the growing number of chain smokers, are expected to inflate the need for respiratory care devices in the coming years.

Increasing Government Initiatives

Government bodies around the world are taking steps to address the rising incidences of respiratory diseases and improve access to respiratory care. Moreover, the launch of policies aimed to improve the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of respiratory diseases by regulatory bodies of various countries is also adding to the respiratory market demand. For instance, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have developed the Hospital Respiratory Protection Program Toolkit to help healthcare facilities in implementing respiratory protection programs. The toolkit provides guidance on how to establish and maintain a comprehensive respiratory protection program for protecting healthcare workers from tuberculosis and influenza. Government bodies are further launching smoking cessation programs, vaccination campaigns, and pollution control measures to reduce the incidence of respiratory diseases.

Rising Geriatric Population

The geriatric population is more likely to develop respiratory conditions, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, and sleep apnea. For instance, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), one in sixty people in the world will be aged 60 years or above by 2030. The old age population across the world will be increased by 2050. The aging process can also weaken the respiratory muscles and reduce lung function, making elderly individuals more susceptible to respiratory issues. Respiratory care devices, such as oxygen therapy devices, nebulizers, and CPAP machines, are commonly used to treat respiratory conditions among the elderly population. Moreover, manufacturers are developing innovative devices to meet the specific needs of elderly patients, such as portable and easy-to-use devices that can be used at home. For instance, Xplore Health Technologies introduced Airofit Pro, a revolutionary respiratory muscle training (RMT) device, in November 2022.
