Capnography Equipment Market Size, Share and Global Trend by Product Type (Capnometers, Accessories), By Technology Type (Mainstream Capnography, Side Stream Capnography), By Application Type (Cardiac Care, Procedural Sedation, Respiratory Disorder, Monitoring, Emergency & Trauma Care), By End-user (Hospitals, Specialty Clinics, Ambulatory Surgical Centres (ASC), Home care Settings), and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Recent trends in monitoring and ensuring patient safety are resulting in the adoption of capnography in the healthcare delivery system. Capnography refers to the monitoring or measurement of the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the respiratory gases. Capnometers are used most commonly in sedation procedure, intensive care, pre and post-operative respiratory assessment as well as during lung function studies. In intensive care, capnometers are utilized as a substitute for blood gas determination and to monitor assisted ventilation.

The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) has mandated the standard of care for sedated patients to be uniform throughout the healthcare institutions, which implies that capnography should be performed during sedation on patients in all healthcare settings. Furthermore, the Society of Gastroenterology Nurses and Associates also suggested to include capnography as part of routine monitoring for patients in the hospital, which indicates a growing awareness and demand for global capnography equipment market. 

The growth in Global Capnography Equipment Market is being driven by the increase in the prevalence of respiratory diseases and respiratory illness requiring intensive and continuous respiratory monitoring such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, pulmonary embolism, and others. The technological advancement in global capnography market and its advantages over pulse oximetry like early detection of hypoventilation, insensitivity to supplemental oxygen, detection when the breathing stops and others, are anticipated to fuel the growth in global capnography equipment market during the forecast period.

However, high cost associated with capnometers and lack of skilled professionals is some of the major factors likely to restrain the market growth by the end of 2026.

Key Players Covered

Some of the major companies present in the global capnography equipment market include Masimo, Hamilton Medical, Medtronic, Smiths Group Plc. (Smiths Medical), Nihon Kohden Corporation, Nonin, Edan Instruments Inc., among others. 

SEGMENTATION
