A high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is a medical device designed for delivering a high flow of heated and humidified oxygen-enriched air to patients with respiratory conditions. It comprises a lightweight tube connected to a machine that regulates the flow of air and oxygen. The cannula, placed in the patient's nostrils, administers a continuous stream of warm and moistened air at a higher flow rate compared to traditional oxygen therapy methods.
The primary types of high-flow nasal cannulas include air or oxygen blenders, nasal cannulas, active humidifiers, single-heated tubes, and others. Air-oxygen blenders are medical devices that blend air and oxygen to deliver a precise combination of oxygen and air to patients experiencing breathing difficulties or undergoing anesthesia. These devices find applications in various medical conditions such as acute respiratory failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), carbon monoxide toxicity, bronchiectasis, sleep apnea, among others. High-flow nasal cannulas are distributed through diverse sales channels, including direct channels, and are utilized by various end-users, including hospitals and clinics, ambulatory care centers, long-term care centers, and others.

Major trends in the forecast period include smart home integration, sustainable materials and practices, customization and personalization, innovative textile technologies, digital retail experiences.
The high-flow nasal cannula market is anticipated to experience growth due to the increasing incidence of asthma and COPD. Asthma, characterized by narrowed and inflamed airways with excessive mucus production, and COPD, a group of progressive lung diseases causing breathing difficulties, are contributing factors. The high-flow nasal cannula offers a potential treatment option by enhancing oxygen levels (PO2) while minimizing heart rate (HR) and respiratory rate (RR). This is particularly beneficial for severe bronchial asthma exacerbated by respiratory failure. Notably, in April 2023, Asthma + Lung UK reported a 149 percent surge in hospital admissions for children with asthma in England and Wales between 2021 and 2022, emphasizing the increasing prevalence of these respiratory conditions.
The high-flow nasal cannula market is poised for growth due to the expanding elderly population. Individuals aged 65 and older are considered part of this demographic, and the high-flow nasal cannula proves to be a safe and effective alternative for elderly patients with acute respiratory failure who may not respond to standard oxygen therapy, are intolerant of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) or continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), and do not meet ICU admission criteria. In November 2022, the Office for National Statistics reported a significant milestone in England and Wales, with 18.6% of the population exceeding 11 million individuals falling within the 65-and-above age group. Notably, over half a million individuals (527,900) were at least 90 years old within this segment. Hence, the growing elderly population is a key driver behind the expansion of the high-flow nasal cannula market.
Major companies in the high-flow nasal cannula market are concentrating on advanced products such as the SoftFlow High-Flow Nasal Cannula to better serve their existing customers. The SoftFlow High-Flow Nasal Cannula is a breathing assistance device that provides patients with warm, humidified, oxygen-enriched air through a nasal cannula. For example, in 2024, Fisher & Paykel Healthcare, a New Zealand-based manufacturer and marketer of products and systems for acute and chronic respiratory care, surgery, and obstructive sleep apnea treatment, introduced the Airvo 2 device as part of the Optiflow Nasal High Flow Therapy system. This device delivers heated, humidified air and oxygen at high flow rates, enhancing oxygenation and reducing the work of breathing for patients suffering from COVID-19 and other respiratory ailments. Its optimal humidity levels support mucociliary function and decrease airway dryness, thus improving patient comfort. Furthermore, the device is designed for easy setup and use, making it appropriate for various hospital environments and contributing to better clinical outcomes.
In March 2022, Quantum Leap Healthcare Collaborative (QLHC), a US-based non-profit organization committed to advancing healthcare through collaborative research and clinical trials, along with NRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NRx), announced the discontinuation of the nebulized form of ZYESAMI(R) (Aviptadil) in the I-SPY COVID Trial. This phase 2, open-label, adaptive platform trial, registered as NCT04488081, aimed to quickly evaluate potential treatments for severely and critically ill COVID-19 patients. The decision to halt the use of ZYESAMI(R) was made because it did not show the expected clinical benefits. NRx, a US-based clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, specializes in developing treatments for COVID-19 and other respiratory illnesses.
