The airway management devices market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.61 billion in 2025 to $2.76 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to limited availability of advanced airway devices, reliance on traditional endotracheal and laryngeal mask airways, growing surgical and anesthesia procedures, rising awareness of airway management importance, increasing hospital and critical care infrastructure.
The airway management devices market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.78 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to technological advancements in video and fiberoptic laryngoscopes, expansion of homecare and portable airway devices, rising emergency and critical care service demand, increasing regulatory compliance and safety standards, integration with smart monitoring and connected healthcare devices. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of video and fiberoptic laryngoscopes, rising demand for portable and homecare airway devices, expansion of emergency medicine and critical care applications, enhanced focus on patient safety and minimizing airway complications, growth in training and simulation-based airway management.
The increasing number of surgical procedures is anticipated to propel the growth of the airway management devices market going forward. A surgical procedure refers to a medical intervention that involves making an incision using specialized tools, typically performed in an operating room and generally requiring anesthesia and/or respiratory support. Airway management devices are used during surgical procedures to ensure a clear airway and protect the lungs from the aspiration of secretions or other fluids. For instance, in June 2024, according to reports published by the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS), a US-based non-profit organization, the total number of surgical and non-surgical procedures rose by 3.4% in 2023, reaching 34.9 million. Liposuction remained the most frequently performed surgical procedure in 2023, as in 2022, with over 2.2 million procedures, followed by breast augmentation, eyelid surgery, abdominoplasty, and rhinoplasty. Therefore, the rise in surgical procedures is driving the growth of the airway management devices market.
Companies operating in the airway management devices market are developing advanced technologies, including medical devices, to enhance patient care, improve airway accessibility, and support safer intubation procedures across various clinical settings. Medical devices include instruments, apparatuses, machines, or implants used in healthcare to diagnose, prevent, monitor, treat, or alleviate diseases or medical conditions. For example, in March 2023, BHV Partners, a US-based investment company, launched Conus Airway, a new medical device startup. Conus Airway focuses on developing innovative medical devices intended to enhance anesthesia and surgical procedures related to the respiratory tract. By emphasizing advanced technology and design, the company aims to improve patient outcomes and streamline clinical operations. The startup seeks to address specific airway management challenges, contributing to safer and more effective healthcare solutions for both patients and medical professionals.
In October 2023, AirLife, a US-based supplier of consumable medical devices for anesthesia and respiratory care, acquired Avanos Medical’s respiratory health business for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, AirLife sought to strengthen its product portfolio, expand its manufacturing footprint, and enhance its leadership position in the respiratory and anesthesia consumables market. Avanos Medical’s respiratory health business is a US-based healthcare company specializing in closed suction systems, endotracheal tubes, and airway management consumables.
