The global extracorporeal membrane oxygenation machine market size is anticipated to reach USD 377.8 million by 2026 registering a CAGR of 4.4%, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Growing cases of respiratory disorders, such as cardiopulmonary disease and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), and respiratory failure are projected to be the key factors driving the demand for ECMO machines. For instance, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in U.S., nearly 8.6 million adults were diagnosed with chronic bronchitis in 2017.



Moreover, wide usage of ECMO machines in hospitals, as a result of increased awareness about the advantages of using the equipment, is anticipated to boost the demand further during the forecast period. Technological advancements also play a vital role in fueling the ECMO market growth. For instance, Medtronic Plc introduced new Century heart lung machine. The machine has advanced features, such as compact and sturdy design. It uses an arterial pump, data management system, and cardioplegia delivery system to provide cardiopulmonary functional support to patients.

Further Key findings from the study suggest:

  • Veno-arterial modality led the ECMO market in 2018 and is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR of 4.9% from 2019 to 2025 due to its rising usage in the treatment of cardiovascular collapse
  • The respiratory application segmented led the market in 2018 and accounted for over 44% of the global share. This growth was attributed to the rising cases of respiratory diseases
  • North America was the dominant regional market and held the major share of the overall revenue in 2018 owing to well-developed infrastructure and a suitable reimbursement framework
  • Asia Pacific is anticipated to be the fastest-growing regional market over the forecast period.
