Overview
Global Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Devices Market reached US$ YY million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ YY million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of YY% during the forecast period 2024-2031.
CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) is a machine that uses mild air pressure to keep breathing airways open while a person sleeps. CPAP machines are utilized to treat obstructive and central sleep apnea, which disrupts breathing during sleep cycles, increasing the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and other health issues. They maintain the airway open by delivering continuous air through the nose and mouth.
Market Dynamics: Drivers & Restraints
Rise in the prevalence of sleep apnea
The rise in sleep apnea, a condition causing breathing interruptions, is driving the demand for CPAP devices, as more individuals are diagnosed with sleep disorders, thereby increasing the market for these devices. For instance, according to an article published in the National Council on Aging, Inc., around 39 million US adults suffer from obstructive sleep apnea, with 936 million worldwide experiencing mild to severe OSA. Snoring is a common symptom, and untreated conditions can lead to heart, kidney, and metabolic issues. 33 million US adults use CPAP machines.
Furthermore, the global continuous positive airway pressure devices are also driven by various other factors like regulatory approvals, advancements in the devices and others that help the market to grow during the forecast period.
Patient compliance and comfort issues
CPAP therapy requires individuals to wear a mask and maintain consistent usage during sleep. However, some patients may find it uncomfortable or experience difficulty adjusting to the mask or the sensation of pressurized air. Discomfort, mask leakage, claustrophobia, and skin irritation can lead to poor patient compliance, with some individuals discontinuing or avoiding CPAP therapy altogether.

Segment Analysis
The global continuous positive airway pressure devices market is segmented based on product type, application, end-user and region.
The CPAP devices from the product type segment accounted for approximately 42.1% of the continuous positive airway pressure devices market share
The CPAP devices from the product type segment accounted for approximately 42.1%. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is a type of ventilation where a steady pressure is applied to the upper respiratory tract, contributing to its market share as a first-line therapy for treating various sleep disorders, surpassing atmospheric pressure.
For instance, according to the article published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine 2020, "Time to wake the giant of obstructive sleep apnoea", around 8 million people aged 30-69 years are affected by obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) in the United Kingdom alone each year. The massive demand for CPAP devices is due to their proven efficiency in many sleep apnea patients in multiple cases, such as airway blockages, by controlling the air pressure with the help of a pump in the device to open up the blocked airways.

Geographical Analysis
North America is estimated to hold about 38.4% of the total market share throughout the forecast period
North America is estimated to hold about 38.4% of the total market share throughout the forecast period owing to factors like novel product launches by key players, increasing acceptance rate of sleep services brought on by the high obesity incidence and erratic lifestyles, development of new devices and their regulatory approvals by the government and other factors help the region to have highest market share.
For instance, in August 2021, connected sleep device maker ResMed stated the AirSense 11, its latest CPAP machine iteration, which includes a host of new features to treat obstructive sleep apnea. The new machine has many of the same specs as ResMed’s previous device, the AirSense 10, but also includes exclusive access to new features.
Covid 19 Impact Analysis
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of continuous positive airway pressure (PAP) for sleep apnea patients. During the lockdown, adherence to PAP increased significantly, with a 4.48% increase observed in the first month of lockdown compared to 2019. This highlights the growing demand for PAP during the pandemic.
