Global Market for Mechanical Ventilators is Projected to Reach US$4.2 Billion by 2020

Rising Popularity of Non-Invasive Ventilators Drives the Global Mechanical Ventilators Market, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

GIA announces the release of a comprehensive global report on Mechanical Ventilators market. Global market for Mechanical Ventilators is projected to reach US$4.2 billion by 2020, driven by aging population, increasing prevalence of respiratory disorders, rising popularity of portable and non-invasive ventilators, and technological advancements.

Mechanical ventilation primarily refers to mechanical breathing provided to patients who are unable to do so naturally owing to certain medical conditions. Against the backdrop of rising incidence of COPD, the need for ventilation to help patients gain relief from acute exacerbations in respiratory failure is also increasing. This in turn translates to significant demand for ventilators worldwide. Technological advancements over the years have resulted in significant innovations at the product front. Advances in product technologies are realizing the opportunity of providing ventilation, not only in critical care settings, but also in sub-acute care and home care settings. Traditional invasive products are making way for more portable ventilators and non-invasive products, a trend that is exhibiting tremendous growth prospects supported by improving convenience to patients and reduced healthcare costs.

Non-invasive ventilators are increasingly becoming a standard of care in several healthcare institutions worldwide. Major factors driving adoption of non-invasive ventilators include inherent benefits such as reduced infection risk, patient’s ability to swallow and speak, and minimized need for sedation. Combination ventilators, with both invasive and non-invasive options, provide the benefits of the two technologies in one product. While these products are well embraced by the developed markets, their adoption remains significantly lower in emerging markets, such as in Asia-Pacific. With the objective of providing only basic care, healthcare systems in most parts of Asia-Pacific remains under-developed, and hence the lower adoption of combination ventilators.

As stated by the new market research report on Mechanical Ventilators, the US represents the single largest market worldwide. North America and Western Europe represent relatively mature markets, while Asia-Pacific, East Europe, and Latin American regions show potential for growth. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing regional market for mechanical ventilators, with sales projected to grow at a compounded annual rate of 8.3% over the analysis period.
