Airway Management Devices Market Drivers

Growing Prevalence of Respiratory Diseases 

• Increasing air pollution and growing number of smokers around the world have contributed to a high incidence of respiratory disorders such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and sleep apnea. Airway management devices play a crucial role in the treatment of these disorders thereby their high occurrence will drive market growth in the future.  

High Demand for Emergency Care Services 

• As the incidence of emergency cases increases due to a rise in accidents and trauma injuries, it also drives up the demand for emergency care services. Airway management devices play a crucial role in ensuring patients’ survival and care in emergency situations such as cardiac arrests. Increasing training in emergency airway management will bolster airway management devices market outlook going forward. 

Airway Management Devices Market Restraints 

Risks of Cross-Contamination from Reusable Devices 

• Airway management devices that are meant to be reused run the risk of cross-contamination and further complicate a patient’s condition. Hospitals must follow stringent sterilization procedures for reusable airway management devices, which can be costly and time-consuming thereby impeding the overall airway management devices market forecast across the study period and beyond.  

High Costs of Advanced Airway management devices 

• Advanced airway devices such as video laryngoscopes and fiber-optic intubation devices utilize novel technologies which often cost more to develop and implement, thereby resulting in an expensive medical device. These high costs can especially hurt airway management devices industry development in emerging countries with limited spending potential.
