"Designing Growth Strategies is in our DNA"
Respiratory humidification refers to an artificial method to warm and purify respiratory air among mechanically ventilated patients. Respiratory humidifying equipment finds application in healthcare settings to supply breathing gas and warm moisture among patients. The increasing prevalence of conditions that might require mechanical ventilation including anaphylaxis, acute respiratory distress syndrome, among others, is increasing the product adoption. Furthermore, the rising adoption is augmenting the demand for novel equipment, propelling the increase in research and development activities.
Moreover, increasing technological advancements, such as advanced equipment with enhanced provision of moisture, among others with an aim to improve patient outcomes, are leading to the rising adoption of these products. Along with this, the rising awareness about these products among doctors and surgeons is accelerating their penetration in the global market.
Additionally, the increasing geriatric population resulting in the growing occurrence of respiratory diseases and government policies to support the research and development activities to launch new patient care products are expected to boost the growth of the market.
The COVID-19 pandemic positively influenced the respiratory humidifying equipment market. The increasing prevalence of respiratory disorders as a symptom of COVID-19 infection enabled patients to seek medical help for treatment. Further, the increasing inpatient and outpatient admissions increased the number of patients on mechanical ventilation, resulted in a growing demand for respiratory humidifying equipment. The rising demand further enabled key players to launch new and advanced equipment for the efficient warming and purification of breathing air among patients.
Additionally, rising awareness regarding the certain benefits of these products, such as their easy usage, elimination of excessive condensation in the tubing, and efficiency in the prevention of infections, among others, increased the adoption of these devices during the pandemic.
