Mechanical Ventilator Global Market Report 2024

The mechanical ventilator market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $7.79 billion in 2023 to $8.83 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.3%. The growth during the historical period can be linked to emergency preparedness initiatives, research and development endeavors, advancements in medical care and critical care requirements, the impact of epidemics and pandemics, as well as the aging population and the prevalence of chronic respiratory diseases.

The mechanical ventilator market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $15.13 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.4%. The expected growth in the forecast period is tied to several factors: the impact of global health emergencies and pandemics, the emphasis on emergency response preparedness, adherence to regulatory standards, government investments, and initiatives aimed at healthcare infrastructure development worldwide. Significant trends anticipated during this period encompass a focus on energy efficiency, integration with wearable technology for healthcare purposes, the utilization of wireless connectivity and remote monitoring solutions, the incorporation of AI and machine learning into healthcare systems, as well as the development of modular and customizable systems to adapt to various healthcare needs.

The growth of the mechanical ventilator market is expected to be driven by the improvement of healthcare infrastructure. Healthcare infrastructure encompasses the foundation for planning, delivering, and enhancing public health services. The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the need for robust healthcare infrastructure and has led to increased demand for enhanced healthcare facilities. Hospitals are expanding their mechanical ventilator capacity to address urgent medical needs and mitigate shortages during emergencies. For example, in June 2021, the government of India announced a program worth INR 50,000 crore ($6.8 billion) aimed at bolstering the country's health infrastructure. This initiative is indicative of efforts to strengthen healthcare infrastructure, which, in turn, is driving the growth of the mechanical ventilator market. In summary, the expansion and improvement of healthcare infrastructure, particularly in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, are key factors contributing to the growth of the mechanical ventilator market.

The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is expected to drive the growth of the mechanical ventilator market in the future. Chronic diseases are broadly defined as conditions that persist for a year or longer, require ongoing medical management, and can interfere with daily activities. Mechanical ventilators assist patients with chronic diseases by monitoring their health status, managing physiological conditions in post-acute, rehabilitation, and chronic cases, and providing acute respiratory support when needed. For example, according to the National Library of Medicine in January 2023, the number of people in the US aged 50 and older with at least one chronic condition is projected to increase by 99.5%, from 71.522 million in 2020 to 142.66 million by 2050. Therefore, the growing prevalence of chronic diseases is a key driver behind the growth of the mechanical ventilator market.

Product innovation is a significant trend in the mechanical ventilator market, with companies investing in research and development to create new products that automate mechanical ventilators based on frequency, assist control, and time, thereby minimizing the workload on the ventilator. For example, in January 2022, OES Medical, a UK-based manufacturer of anesthesia equipment and accessories, introduced the Gemini-G100, an electrically driven piston ICU ventilator. The Gemini-G100 is designed to support intensive care teams worldwide, especially in locations where high-pressure oxygen gas supplies may be problematic. This ventilator only requires electric power and does not rely on the hospital's oxygen supply, making it a versatile and reliable solution for various healthcare settings.

Key players in the market are focusing on developing innovative products to strengthen their market position. One such innovation is high-flow oxygen therapy, a technique that delivers a mixture of heated and humidified oxygen and air through the nose at high flow rates. For example, in October 2021, Movair, a US-based respiratory therapy company, introduced the Advanced Ventilator-Luisa. This ventilator is compact, portable, and user-friendly, featuring an intuitive interface and simple controls. The Luisa ventilator is uniquely designed to provide advanced respiratory support to patients in respiratory distress, including those suffering from conditions such as COVID-19. It incorporates a range of advanced features, including real-time monitoring of airway pressure, flow, and volume, enhancing its capabilities for patient care.

In May 2021, Medline International B.V., a Netherlands-based provider of medical devices and solutions, acquired selected respiratory assets of Teleflex for $286 million. This strategic acquisition is intended to bolster Medline's position in the global non-invasive ventilation (NIV) market and enhance its footprint in Europe and other international markets. Teleflex Incorporated, based in the US, is a specialty medical device manufacturing company known for producing non-invasive ventilators used in vascular and interventional access, surgical anesthesia, cardiac care, urology, emergency medicine, and respiratory care.
