Medical Suction Devices Market: Growth Drivers

Growing prevalence of respiratory disease to drive the market growth

One of the key factors fueling the global medical suction devices market's expansion is the rising incidence of chronic respiratory disorders. For instance, according to the WHO 2019 study, more than 65 million individuals have moderate-to-severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which results in 3.23 million deaths annually. Asthma is the most prevalent chronic condition in children, affecting almost 262 million people worldwide in 2019, according to the same source. So, when suctioning a patient with COPD or asthma, a medical suction apparatus is crucial. Because COPD and asthma increase the number of airway secretions, the airway may get blocked. Consequently, over the predicted period, the demand for medical suction devices will increase.

Medical Suction Devices Market: Restraints

Restricted reimbursement facilities and stringent regulations hampering the market growth

The funding options offered for the use of suction devices have become a significant barrier to the expansion of the market for medical suction devices. Moreover, the regulatory guidelines which are applied to the local players are very strict which hampers the growth of the market for medical suction devices.

Medical Suction Devices Market: Opportunities

The rising geriatric population is expected to provide lucrative opportunity for the market expansion

The market for medical suction devices is expanding due to the growing older population. For instance, the World Population Ageing 2020 report indicated that 727 million individuals worldwide were 65 or older. By 2050, it is anticipated that the population will have more than doubled to around 1.5 billion people. Therefore, are projected to support growth during the projection period as the aging population is expected to expand and become more sensitive to chronic respiratory disorders. The need for small, portable suction devices that can be employed in home care settings is also being driven by the aging population.

Medical Suction Devices Market: Segmentation

The global medical suction devices market is segmented based on portability, vacuum systems, end-use, and region

Based on portability, the global market is bifurcated into portable and non-portable. The non-portable segment is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period. The increase in hospitals and clinics is attributed to the segment's expansion, which is fueling demand for non-portable aspirators. In hospitals, dentist offices, and other healthcare facilities where patients are unlikely to require mobility, these gadgets are typically used. Over the projection period, demand for non-portable suction equipment is anticipated to rise along with the number of emergency cases and surgical procedures. As a result, the increase in hospitals and clinics in developed and developing countries, where these devices are utilized the most, is responsible for the high growth of this market.

On the other hand, the portable segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR over the forecast period owing to the growing adoption of these devices in home healthcare services. Moreover, for the long-term care of the disabled, chronic diseases, and surgical procedures, home healthcare is an economical option. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there will be 13.0 million more home health and personal care aides employed in 2020 than there were in 2010 (a 70.0% increase). The expansion of the portable devices market is also being aided by the rise in ambulatory and emergency care services. Additionally, the user-friendly, portable designs have benefits like point-of-care use and do not require trained specialists to operate them. The demand for portable devices is increasing due to these benefits.

Based on vacuum systems, global medical suction devices are categorized into manual, electrically powered, and venturi. The electrically powered segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2021 and is expected to continue this pattern during the forecast period. The industry is expanding quickly due to the availability of a wide range of electrically powered devices that are ideal for several applications and are simple to use with strong suction. Additionally, a sizable revenue share was produced by the widespread knowledge about electrically driven aspirators as well as the expansion of prehospital and emergency care settings globally. As a result, it is anticipated that the market will continue to be dominated by this segment.

Recent Developments:

• In December 2020, Olympus signed an agreement to acquire medical device maker Veran Medical Technologies (VMT) through its subsidiary Olympus Corporation of the Americas (OCA). The deal will strengthen Olympus’ respiratory device portfolio and is part of its corporate strategy to focus and scale its therapeutic solutions division.
• In September 2021, Itamar Medical Ltd., a medical device and digital health company focused on the integration of sleep apnea diagnosis into the cardiac patient care pathway, and ZOLL Medical Corporation, an Asahi Kasei company that manufactures medical devices and related software solutions, announced that the two companies signed a definitive agreement under which ZOLL Medical will acquire all outstanding ordinary shares of Itamar Medical for a total cost of about $538 million. The aim of ZOLL Medical to advance home sleep medicine for the population of undiagnosed and untreated patients will be accelerated by the combination of Itamar's WatchPAT® technology and Digital Health solution for sleep apnea with ZOLL Medical's commercial presence.

Medical Suction Devices Market: Regional Analysis

North America is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period

North America is expected to dominate the global medical suction devices market during the forecast period. The region's market expansion is anticipated to be aided by the presence of well-established healthcare facilities, easy access to cutting-edge technology, and widespread use of suction devices in the management of chronic respiratory disorders and other surgical operations. Additionally, due to the high prevalence of fatal injuries and chronic medical illnesses, nations like the U.S. and Canada have seen an increase in hospital admissions and ER visits in recent years. For instance, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, around 5,190 fatal work injuries were recorded in the United States in 2021, an 8.9% increase from 4,764 in 2020. Growth in North America is also being boosted by the greater acceptance rate of these devices seen in the home care services sector and the rise in healthcare facilities.

Besides, the Asia Pacific market is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Significant market contributors to Asia Pacific include Japan, China, and India. The market in this region is being driven by factors such as aging populations, rapidly emerging economies, and rising healthcare awareness.

The rising elderly population and the frequency of chronic respiratory disorders are two variables that are predicted to increase demand for medical suction devices.
