The breathing circuits market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.29 billion in 2025 to $2.45 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in surgical procedures, expansion of critical care units, anesthesia equipment demand, hospital infection control focus, ventilator usage growth.
The breathing circuits market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.23 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to single-use device adoption, sustainability-driven material innovation, rising ICU admissions, emergency respiratory care demand, anesthesia workflow optimization. Major trends in the forecast period include disposable infection-control circuits, low-flow anesthesia systems, enhanced patient safety designs, lightweight circuit materials, improved gas delivery efficiency.
The rising prevalence of respiratory diseases is anticipated to drive the growth of the breathing circuits market in the coming years. Respiratory diseases encompass a range of conditions that affect the lungs and other components of the respiratory system, impairing normal breathing function. The increasing prevalence of these diseases is largely attributed to escalating air pollution levels, smoking, indoor air pollution, and occupational exposures. Breathing circuits play a vital role in the management of respiratory diseases by supplying a controlled flow of air or oxygen to patients, supporting adequate respiration, and delivering essential treatments such as ventilation or anesthesia for individuals with compromised lung function. For example, in December 2023, according to a research study published by JAMA Network Open, a medical journal of the American Medical Association, the global burden of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) was projected to reach nearly 600 million cases by 2050, reflecting a 23% increase in prevalence. Among these cases, the number of female patients is expected to rise by 47.1%, while male cases are projected to increase by only 9.4%. Additionally, most cases are expected to occur in low- and middle-income regions, where prevalence is projected to be more than double that of high-income regions by 2050. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of respiratory diseases is fueling the growth of the breathing circuits market.
Major companies operating in the breathing circuits market are increasingly concentrating on the development of innovative technologies, such as heated breathing circuit systems, to streamline patient care and improve treatment outcomes. Heated breathing circuit technology delivers warmed and humidified gases to patients during high-flow therapy or non-invasive ventilation, helping to prevent airway dryness, enhance patient comfort, and support mucociliary function. For example, in August 2024, Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Ltd., a New Zealand-based medical device company, received FDA clearance for the F&P Airvo 3 NIV system and the AirSpiral NIV tube and chamber kit (K233643). This system features a warmed, humidified single-limb circuit with an integrated humidification chamber designed to deliver high-flow gases ranging from 2 to 70 L/min, along with an integrated oxygen analyzer for hospital use. These advancements aim to improve patient comfort and support effective non-invasive respiratory therapy.
In October 2024, ZOLL Medical Corporation, a US-based medical device company and a subsidiary of Japan-based Asahi Kasei Corporation, completed the acquisition of select ventilator product lines from Vyaire Medical. Through this acquisition, ZOLL aims to expand its respiratory care portfolio and enhance its capability to support acute and critical care customers by adding the bellavista, fabian, LTV, and 3100 HFOV ventilator product lines, along with their associated consumables and service offerings. Vyaire Medical is a US-based respiratory device company that develops ventilators and related accessories, including breathing circuits.

Breathing circuits are medical devices designed to deliver and regulate airflow to patients during respiratory support, ensuring the proper administration of gases such as oxygen or anesthetic agents. They are utilized in various applications, including mechanical ventilation, anesthesia, and emergency care, to support respiratory function in patients who cannot breathe independently.
The primary types of breathing circuits include open breathing circuits, semi-open breathing circuits, semi-closed breathing circuits, and closed breathing circuits. An open breathing circuit is a system where the patient's airway remains fully exposed to the atmosphere, without recycling exhaled gases or using a reservoir bag. Breathing circuits are available in different usability options, including disposable and reusable variants. They are applied in anesthesia, respiratory support, and other medical procedures and are used by various end users, such as hospitals, clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, and other healthcare facilities.
The breathing circuits market consists of sales of adult breathing circuits, pediatric breathing circuits, anesthesia breathing circuits, ventilator breathing circuits, and humidified breathing circuits. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.
The market value is defined as the revenues that enterprises gain from the sale of goods and/or services within the specified market and geography through sales, grants, or donations in terms of the currency (in USD unless otherwise specified).
The revenues for a specified geography are consumption values that are revenues generated by organizations in the specified geography within the market, irrespective of where they are produced. It does not include revenues from resales along the supply chain, either further along the supply chain or as part of other products.
