Market Dynamics: Drivers & Restraints

Rising Prevalence of Respiratory Diseases

The global ventilators market is driven by the rise in respiratory diseases like COPD, asthma, ARDS, and pneumonia, driven by factors like air pollution, smoking, and aging populations. The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the need for ventilators in hospitals, home care, and emergency care, accelerating market growth and addressing severe respiratory distress.

For instance, according to the NCD Alliance, Chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) are lung-related diseases that cause significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Common CRDs include COPD, asthma, lung cancer, and occupational lung diseases. These diseases affect at least 550 Billion adults globally and account for 7% of all deaths. Lung cancer contributes to another 1.4 Billion deaths annually.

Children under five years of age are particularly affected by lung diseases, including acute infectious diseases like pneumonia and chronic conditions like asthma. Asthma is the most common chronic condition, affecting 14% of children globally. Moreover, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports between October 1 and November 30, 2024, there were between 17,000 and 34,000 hospitalizations due to RSV.

Stringent Regulatory Environment and Compliance Requirements

The ventilators market faces challenges due to strict regulatory frameworks, extensive testing, clinical trials, and certification processes, which can delay time-to-market and increase costs. Manufacturers must adapt to evolving standards, which can hinder innovation and complicate product launches, restraining market growth.

Segment Analysis

The global ventilators market is segmented based on type, mobility, interface, end user and region.

Type:

The adult ventilators in the type segment are expected to dominate the ventilators market with the highest market share

Adult ventilators are mechanical devices used to provide respiratory support to adults with breathing difficulties or respiratory failure. They deliver controlled oxygen and remove carbon dioxide, ensuring adequate gas exchange in the lungs. Commonly used in ICUs, emergency rooms, and home care for conditions like COPD, ARDS, and post-surgical recovery.

The adult ventilator market is fueled by rising respiratory diseases like COPD, ARDS, and pneumonia, as well as the geriatric population's increased susceptibility to respiratory illnesses. Moreover, product launches, technological advancements like AI integration and the development of portable and home-use ventilators are driving market growth. The increasing number of ICU admissions, awareness of critical care infrastructure, and government initiatives to strengthen healthcare systems, particularly after the COVID-19 pandemic, are also driving market expansion.

For instance, in February 2024, Getinge launched its Sewo-c mechanical ventilator in India, designed to cater to the diverse respiratory needs of both pediatric and adult patients. The launch is a significant step towards making advanced healthcare solutions accessible and affordable for hospitals across India.
