The Indian respiratory devices market is expected to show a rapid growth due to the increasing prevalence of respiratory disorders, such as COPD, TB, asthma, and sleep apnea, along with technological advancements and increasing applications in-home care settings.

There is a high incidence rate of respiratory diseases in India. Rapid urbanization in the developing economy and a large amount of pollution contribute to this. According to the University of Washington’s Global Burden of Disease study, 2018 COPD was the second-highest cause of death in India killing 1 million (958,000) Indians in 2017. The awareness about these diseases and healthcare facilities has increased and the government is investing in mitigating respiratory ailments. There is also a rise in the ageing population, which is susceptible to such respiratory ailments. Thus, all these factors help in driving the respiratory devices market in India.

The healthcare industry in India has grown in recent years, and with the rise in the healthcare industry, there is disproportionate reliability over imports, where more than 70% of the medical devices are imported in industry sales in India.

Key Market Trends
