Intubation Tubes Global Market Report 2024

The intubation tubes market has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.78 billion in 2023 to $3.01 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%.The expansion observed in the historical period can be attributed to factors such as the increased number of surgical procedures, a rise in the incidence of respiratory disorders, advancements in anesthesia practices, emergency medical interventions, and the growing aging population.

The intubation tubes market is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.14 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to ongoing advancements in surgical procedures, a growing demand for critical care, global preparedness for health crises, an increase in trauma cases, technological enhancements in intubation tube design, and the implementation of training and education programs. Key trends expected in the forecast period encompass customization and personalization in intubation tube solutions, a regulatory emphasis on product safety, increased collaborations and partnerships in the healthcare industry, the impact of telehealth, and a heightened focus on environmental sustainability.

The anticipated increase in the prevalence of hospital-acquired infections is set to drive the growth of the intubation tube market in the foreseeable future. Hospital-associated infections, acquired during medical care, pose a risk to patients. Intubation tubes play a crucial role in preventing infections by drawing out and clearing mucus from patients' airways, reducing the likelihood of complications such as pneumonia. For example, the 2021 National and State Progress Report on Healthcare-Associated Infections from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention noted a 7% increase in central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) and a 5% rise in catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) between 2020 and 2021. Hence, the surge in hospital-acquired infections contributes to the growth of the intubation tube market.

The escalating number of surgeries is expected to fuel the expansion of the intubation tube market in the coming years. Surgical procedures, a fundamental aspect of medical care, often require intubation for administering general anesthesia and maintaining a secure airway during the operation. Notably, statistics from the National Library of Medicine indicate a substantial growth in cosmetic surgeries and overall operations, emphasizing the increasing demand for intubation tubes. With a 49.4% increase in cosmetic surgeries and a 33.4% growth in total operations in 2021, the rising number of surgeries becomes a driving force for the intubation tube market.

Technological advancements represent a prominent trend gaining traction in the intubation tube market. Companies within the market are adopting innovative technologies, including wireless communication and monitoring, to enhance their market positions. For instance, Medtronic plc introduced the SonarMed airway monitoring system, utilizing acoustic technology to detect endotracheal tube (ETT) blockages and validate positioning in real-time. This technology provides critical information to clinicians, enabling informed decisions and timely responses to potential critical events.

Major players in the intubation tube market are prioritizing product innovations, such as airway mobilescopes, to maintain their market standing. Airway mobilescopes are portable medical devices facilitating flexible airway management for medical professionals.
