AIRWAY MANAGEMENT TUBES MARKET SIZE & SHARE ANALYSIS - GROWTH TRENDS & FORECASTS (2023 - 2028)
The laryngoscopes segment is expected to witness significant growth in the airway management tubes market over the forecast period. The factors attributing to the segment growth are the increasing prevalence and incidence of respiratory diseases, larynx cancer, growing demand for laryngoscopy procedures, and increasing company activities.
The laryngoscope is a device used during intubation to aid in the vision of the trachea. Endotracheal tubes can be inserted into the trachea while being seen directly through a laryngoscope, which is also used to view the vocal cords. The two main types are the curved Macintosh blade and the straight blade (i.e., Miller with a curved tip and Wisconsin or Foregger with a straight tip).
The video laryngoscopes can aid in getting a view of the larynx by allowing indirect visualization of the glottic opening without lining up the pharyngeal, oral, and tracheal axes. They can also facilitate endotracheal intubation in patients with conditions (restricted mouth opening, inability to flex the neck) that can make traditional laryngoscopy challenging or impossible.
The airway management tube market is expected to witness a CAGR of 5% over the forecast period.
COVID-19 impacted the growth of the pulmonary drug delivery systems market. Patients suffering from respiratory diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) were at high risk of getting coronavirus infection. This has increased the demand for airway management devices and tubes for clearing obstructions. For instance, according to an article published in Pulmonary Medicine, in March 2022, it was observed that COPD patients have worse outcomes from the coronavirus infection. Also, due to biological factors, COPD patients are more likely to acquire viral infections and suffer from COVID-19's pathophysiological effects, such as micro thrombosis, intrapulmonary shunting, and subsequent bacterial infection. Thus, the increasing risk of developing COVID-19 infection among COPD patients has increased the demand for supraglottic and infraglottic devices, which increased the demand for airway management tubes during COVID-19. Hence, the COVID-19 pandemic had a favorable impact on the market initially. Currently, post-pandemic, the market has lost some traction. However, it is expected to have stable growth during the forecast period.
