Mechanical Ventilators Market Growth & Trends

The global mechanical ventilators market size is expected to reach USD 3.6 billion by 2027 according to a new report by Grand View Research Inc. The market is projected to register a CAGR of 4.7% from 2022 to 2027. The unprecedented dawn of COVID-19 pandemic, increasing incidence of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), rising incidence of respiratory emergencies, and technological innovation in respiratory care devices are the major factors driving the market growth.

Technological advancements such as rapid innovation in the field of Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) devices, portability, and improvement in the battery life of transport and portable devices are the factors driving the growth of the market. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that, at present, approximately 90% of COPD-related deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries. Therefore, the rise in prevalence of such diseases, introduction, and availability of portable, cost contained, and easy-to-use mechanical ventilators for the treatment of respiratory conditions is expected to drive the growth in the demand for mechanical ventilators worldwide.
