Anesthesia Disposables Global Market Report 2024

The anesthesia disposables market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.07 billion in 2023 to $1.14 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The historical growth in this context can be credited to various factors such as increased surgical procedures, a focus on infection control measures, the growing aging population, and an emphasis on ensuring patient safety.

The anesthesia disposables market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.43 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The anticipated growth in the upcoming period can be attributed to several factors including the rise in minimally invasive procedures, expanding growth in emerging markets, adherence to regulatory compliance, and the increased utilization of telehealth and remote consultation services. Key trends expected in this period encompass the adoption of eco-friendly disposables, the development of customized solutions, the integration of remote monitoring and data, and advancements in drug delivery systems.

The rise in the aging population has significantly contributed to the growth of the anesthesia disposable market, primarily due to the increased need for surgeries among elderly individuals. With extended life expectancies and the prevalence of age-related comorbidities, there's a considerable rise in the elderly demographic undergoing surgical procedures. Conditions like cardiovascular disease, arthritis, thyroid disease, and emphysema are increasingly common and are leading to a higher number of surgeries. As these ailments are predominantly found in the elderly population, the demand for anesthesia disposables has proportionally increased, as these disposables are extensively utilized in surgical procedures. This demographic trend is a driving force behind the market growth in the forecast period.

Key products within anesthesia disposables include anesthesia breathing circuits, endotracheal tubes, anesthesia gas masks, and laryngeal mask airways (LMA). Laryngeal mask airways (LMA) serve as supraglottic devices employed as a temporary means to sustain an open airway during anesthesia administration, or as an immediate life-saving measure for patients with a difficult or failed airway. These devices cater to patient groups across different age ranges, including neonatal, adult, and pediatric individuals. Various end-users of these anesthesia disposables encompass hospitals, clinics, home care settings, and other related institutions.

The increasing demand for plastic surgery is expected to significantly propel the growth of the anesthesia market in the foreseeable future. Plastic surgery, a medical specialty focused on reconstructing, restoring, or altering the human body's appearance, plays a crucial role in addressing conditions resulting from congenital issues, trauma, injury, disease, or prior surgeries. Anesthesia is essential in plastic surgeries to ensure the patient's comfort and a pain-free experience during various procedures like facelifts, tummy tucks, or breast reduction surgeries. For instance, as reported by the Aesthetic Society 2021 Highlights in April 2022, there was a remarkable 54% increase in surgical procedures in 2021, totaling 320 surgical procedures compared to 220 in the previous year. Additionally, data from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons in September 2023 indicated that the total number of cosmetic surgical procedures performed in 2022 reached 1,498,361. This surge in demand for plastic surgeries, as indicated by these statistics, is a significant driving force behind the growth of the anesthesia market.

The scarcity of adequately trained anesthesiologists poses a notable constraint on the anesthesia disposables market. Anesthesiologists play a pivotal role in ensuring the well-being of patients during and after surgical procedures, providing a high level of care. With the increasing number of patients undergoing surgeries and medical procedures worldwide, there is a growing demand for skilled and proficient anesthesiologists. Meeting this rising demand for anesthesia services has led many countries to grapple with a severe shortage of trained anesthesiologists. For instance, research conducted by the Centre for Workforce Intelligence, a division of the UK NHS staffing agency Health Education England, predicts a 25% growth in the demand for anesthetic services by 2033, requiring an annual increase of 300 anesthetists to meet the demand. A study by the American Association of Medical Colleges (AAMC) also anticipates a shortage of 33,800 to 72,700 physicians across various medical specialties by 2030. Consequently, there exists a substantial gap between the demand for trained anesthesiologists and the available supply, which is likely to impede the growth of the anesthesia disposables market.

There is an escalating demand for cuffed endotracheal tubes (ETTs) in pediatric applications compared to uncuffed ETTs. In pediatric anesthesia, the general practice involves endotracheal intubation for airway management and positive pressure ventilation. Traditionally, uncuffed endotracheal tubes (ETTs) have been recommended for children up to eight years old. However, uncuffed ETTs come with significant drawbacks such as increased air leakage around the tube, making it challenging to ensure adequate oxygen levels for the child. Additionally, the accurate measurement of tidal volume is compromised. Uncuffed ETTs also permit the escape of waste anesthetic gases, contributing substantially to contamination within the operating room and elevating the cost of the anesthetic procedure. Consequently, there is a noticeable shift towards increased usage of cuffed ETTs for pediatric procedures.

Major companies within the anesthesia market are introducing innovative products like Bupivacaine HCl to provide dependable services to their customers. Bupivacaine HCl stands as an anesthesia possessing unique characteristics in the form of generic injectable medicines. For example, in December 2021, Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC, a UK-based pharmaceutical company, launched Bupivacaine HCl. This particular anesthesia is used in various medical procedures including surgeries, dental and oral surgeries, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, as well as obstetrical procedures. Bupivacaine HCl functions by blocking the generation and conduction of nerve impulses, achieved by elevating the threshold for electrical excitation in the nerves. Notably, it possesses a longer duration of action compared to other commonly used short-acting local anesthetics.

As per the guidelines provided by the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists, healthcare facilities are advised to choose disposables that are registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Furthermore, it is essential to adhere to the manufacturer's recommendations regarding the proper use, exposure duration, and disposal of these disposable items. Additionally, healthcare facilities should promptly discard single-use disposable devices, such as breathing circuits, airway devices, and orogastric tubes, in a biohazardous bag or container immediately after use, ensuring the safe and appropriate disposal of these items.
