This Airway Management Devices market report provides a comprehensive analysis of the market’s characteristics, size, and growth, including segmentation, regional and country-level breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends, and strategies. It also tracks historical and forecasted market growth across various geographies.
The airway management devices market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $2.55 billion in 2024 to $2.61 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the increasing prevalence of chronic respiratory diseases, rising geriatric population, growing demand for minimally invasive surgeries, and increasing awareness about the importance of airway management.
The airway management devices market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.48 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the aging population, occupational health and safety, anesthesia practices, telemedicine, and remote care. Major trends in the forecast period include enhanced video and imaging, telehealth integration, personalized and 3D-printed devices, airway management algorithms, and airway management algorithms.
The rising prevalence of respiratory diseases is anticipated to boost the demand for airway management devices in the coming years. These devices are essential for handling difficult emergency airway situations during medical procedures. For example, a report from the UK Health Security Agency in June 2024 indicated that there were approximately 49,300 hospital admissions due to confirmed influenza in England between week 40 of 2022 and week 15 of 2023, compared to around 8,400 cases in the 2021-2022 period. Consequently, the increasing incidence of respiratory diseases is driving the growth of the airway management devices market.
The increase in surgical procedures is projected to drive the growth of the airway management devices market in the future. Surgical procedures involve medical interventions that typically require incisions made with surgical tools, often performed in an operating room, and generally necessitate anesthesia and/or breathing support. Airway management devices are critical in these procedures to ensure an open airway and protect the lungs from the aspiration of fluids or secretions. For example, a report from the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) in September 2023 revealed that the United States led globally in the number of procedures performed, totaling over 7.4 million, which represented 22% of the worldwide total. Brazil ranked second with 8.9%, while Japan accounted for 7.3%. Surgical procedures are predominantly carried out in hospitals (47.4% globally) or office facilities (31.1%). Overall, both surgical and non-surgical procedures experienced an increase of 11.2%. Thus, the rise in surgical procedures is driving the growth of the airway management devices market.
Leading companies in the airway management devices market are focusing on developing advanced technologies, including medical devices, to enhance patient care, improve airway accessibility, and ensure safer intubation procedures across various clinical settings. Medical devices encompass instruments, apparatuses, machines, or implants used in healthcare for diagnosing, preventing, monitoring, treating, or alleviating medical conditions. For example, in March 2023, BHV Partners, an investment company based in the U.S., launched Conus Airway, a new startup dedicated to creating innovative medical devices designed to enhance anesthesia and surgical procedures related to the respiratory tract. By prioritizing cutting-edge technology and design, Conus Airway aims to improve patient outcomes and streamline operations in clinical environments. The startup intends to tackle specific challenges in airway management, ultimately contributing to safer and more effective healthcare solutions for patients and medical professionals alike.
Leading companies in the airway management devices market are innovating with advanced technologies such as quickconnect technology to enhance patient safety, streamline intubation processes, and improve overall efficiency in emergency and surgical environments. Quickconnect technology is a system that facilitates the rapid and secure connection of devices used in intubation and ventilation. For example, in April 2023, Verathon Inc., a medical technology company based in the U.S., introduced the Glidescope Spectrum QC, which incorporates quickconnect technology. This next-generation video laryngoscope is designed to simplify and enhance the efficiency of intubation procedures. The device features an intuitive design that improves visualization and provides real-time imaging, enabling healthcare providers to make swift and informed decisions. Additionally, the integration of quickconnect technology streamlines the connection process for various airway management tools, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes and reducing the time needed for intubation in critical situations.
