A laryngeal mask is a type of oropharyngeal airway that serves as an alternative to traditional masks in the context of anesthesia and endotracheal intubation. It is employed as a substitute for a standard facemask in routine anesthesia procedures.
There are two main categories of laryngeal masks, reusable laryngeal masks and disposable laryngeal masks. A disposable laryngeal mask is a specific type of supraglottic airway device designed for single-use and subsequent disposal. These masks find application across various patient demographics, including children, adults, and geriatric individuals. Additionally, they are utilized by diverse end users such as hospitals, clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, and other medical facilities.
The laryngeal mask market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides laryngeal mask market statistics, including laryngeal mask industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a laryngeal mask market share, detailed laryngeal mask market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the laryngeal mask industry. This laryngeal mask market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The laryngeal mask market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.08 billion in 2023 to $2.33 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.2%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including an increase in surgical procedures, a rise in respiratory disorders, advancements in material science, the global aging population, and a heightened focus on patient safety.
The laryngeal mask market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.64 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.8%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, including the integration of artificial intelligence, the rapid expansion of ambulatory surgical centers, increased awareness and training programs, expanding applications in emergency medicine, and a growing focus on sustainable and eco-friendly materials. Major trends expected in the forecast period encompass the implementation of 3D printing technology, enhancements in seal and ventilation features, the adoption of eco-friendly and sustainable materials, and the expansion of telemedicine-compatible laryngeal masks.
The anticipated increase in the number of surgical procedures is expected to drive the growth of the laryngeal mask market in the future. Surgical procedures involve medical operations where incisions are made using instruments to treat diseases or repair damage in a living body. Laryngeal masks serve as temporary tools to maintain an unobstructed airway during surgeries involving general anesthesia. They are utilized for administering anesthesia or as an urgent solution for patients facing airway complications. For example, in 2021, The Aesthetic Society, a group of board-certified aesthetic plastic surgeons in the USA, reported a 54% increase in the number of aesthetic surgical procedures compared to 2020. Additionally, liposuction procedures, a surgery involving fat removal performed under anesthesia, saw 491,098 procedures in 2021, up from 296,601 procedures in 2020. Hence, the rising number of surgical procedures is a driving force behind the laryngeal mask market.
The increasing prevalence of respiratory diseases is expected to contribute to the growth of the laryngeal mask market in the future. Respiratory diseases encompass a diverse group of conditions affecting the organs and tissues involved in breathing. Laryngeal masks are employed in the treatment of respiratory diseases to provide temporary airway support and improve oxygenation in patients with fluid accumulation in their lungs. For example, in April 2023, Asthma + Lung UK, a UK-based non-profit organization advocating for the freedom to breathe, reported a 149% surge in hospital admissions for children with asthma in England and Wales between 2021 and 2022. Approximately 19,506 children were hospitalized with asthma symptoms during this period, compared to 7,850 between 2020 and 2021. Consequently, the growing prevalence of respiratory diseases is a key factor driving the laryngeal mask market.
The laryngeal mask market is anticipated to face impediments due to fluctuations in raw-material prices. Laryngeal masks are typically crafted from specialized medical-grade materials such as silicone and thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs). When the prices of these raw materials rise, it results in increased production costs for laryngeal mask manufacturers. Elevated production costs can either reduce profit margins or necessitate manufacturers to raise product prices. For example, in October 2021, Textile Technology, a Germany-based digital platform for the technical textiles industry, predicted a 30% or more average increase in the price of raw materials for laryngeal masks such as silicone. Hence, the fluctuations in raw-material prices are constraining the laryngeal mask market going forward.
Major companies in the laryngeal mask market are strategically focusing on partnerships to expand their reach and gain a competitive edge. In July 2023, Teleflex Incorporated, a US-based provider of medical technologies, entered into an agreement with Premier Inc., a US-based healthcare company. This partnership allows Premier company members to benefit from special rates and conditions pre-arranged by Premier for specific Teleflex items, including laryngoscope systems, laryngeal mask airways, and disposable anesthesia products. This collaboration is designed to enable clinicians to deliver enhanced care at special prices. Furthermore, in June 2023, Teleflex Incorporated partnered with Shenzhen Insighters Medical Technology Co., Ltd., a China-based company specializing in the development of medical imaging technology, for the exclusive distribution of the Insighters Video Laryngoscope System. This system, with its modular accessories and parts, facilitates the placement of the endotracheal tube across diverse intubation situations. The Insighters Video Laryngoscope System, now part of Teleflex's array of airway management devices, is utilized for routine airway procedures.
In April 2022, Medline Industries, a healthcare company based in the United States, completed the acquisition of Asid Bonz GmbH for an undisclosed amount. The strategic move by Medline Industries was aimed at broadening its product portfolio and introducing the ASID BONZ brand to a wider European audience, extending beyond its existing client base in Germany. Asid Bonz GmbH, based in Germany, is recognized for its role as a manufacturer and distributor of medical consumables, with a specialization in urology, anesthesia, surgical procedures, inpatient supplies, and infection control. This includes the production of laryngeal masks and PVC masks among other medical products.
