Global Anaesthesia Vaporizer Market - 2023-2030

Overview

Anesthesia vaporizers are used to vaporize a liquid anaesthetic agent and deliver a controlled amount to the patient. There are three types of concentration-calibrated vaporisers variable bypass, heated blender, and electronically controlled vapor cassettes. These devices are used in operating rooms, emergency departments, delivery rooms, trauma departments, ambulatory surgical centres, and any areas requiring the administration of an inhalation agent. In the vast majority of cases, vaporizers will be mounted on anaesthesia machines; however, vaporizers can also be associated with cardiopulmonary bypass consoles by the use of special mounting blocks.

Vaporizers are an important part of anesthesia equipment. An understanding of physiology and physics is warranted to ensure the adequate use of these devices. The timely recognition of problems in vaporizer functioning is also essential, as this will decrease the amount of time that patients are potentially exposed to light anesthesia and pain.

Market Dynamics: Drivers and Restraints

Rise in the technological advancements

The rise in the advancements in anaesthesia vaporizer technology, such as precision dosing and safety features, attracts healthcare providers to upgrade their equipment. Many advancements have been released where it helps the market to grow during the forecast period. For example, The Drager DIVA vaporiser which is integrated into the Zeus anaesthesia machine allows for target-controlled anaesthesia with closed-loop quantitative control of the delivery of oxygen, carrier gas and anaesthetic vapour.

Furthermore, factors such as an increase in the number of surgeries, a rise in a number of hospitals and clinics, growth in the geriatric population, and high healthcare expenditure drive the market growth. The increase in demand for anesthesia vaporizer masks market in emerging nations and R&D in the field of surgical equipment is anticipated to create new opportunities during the forecast period.

Market Dynamics: Restraint

Product recalls can have a significant impact on the anesthesia vaporizer market, as they can lead to a loss of consumer confidence and a decrease in sales. They can also result in legal and financial consequences for the manufacturers.

For instance, in December 2021, Getinge stated a global medical device recall related to specific Sevoflurane vaporizers for Flow Family Anesthesia systems. To date, no patient or operator adverse events have been reported. Getinge has reported to relevant authorities according to applicable regulations and is now informing affected customers about the issue through a field safety notice/recall. Also high cost of devices, and regulatory challenges will further hamper the market growth rate during the forecast period.

Segment Analysis

The global anaesthesia vaporizer is segmented based on product type, agent-specific, end-user and region.

The Plenum Vaporizers from the product type segment accounted for approximately 41.2% of the market share

The plenum vaporizers from the product type segment accounted for approximately 41.2% and it is expected to be dominated during the forecast period. Plenum vaporizers are characterized by a pressurized vaporization chamber that generates an increased internal resistance (above atmospheric pressure) for fresh gas flow.

This type of vaporizer is currently the most commonly used and is characterized by its accuracy in the mixture of gases provided to the patient. It is not temperature-compensated. When the control knob, which is just a crude split ratio controller, is in the down position, the cowling over the U-tube descends and brings the FGF closer to the surface of the agent or forces it to bubble through the ether, increasing output by increasing the gas/liquid interface.

Geographical Analysis

North America accounted for approximately 38.4% of the market share in 2022

North America is estimated to hold about 38.4% of the total market share throughout the forecast period, owing to the strategic partnerships with key players, improved healthcare infrastructure, product launches by key players and others that will help this region to grow during the forecast period.

For instance, in April 2022, Respirair and Dechra confirmed the US Veterinary Anesthesia Partnership in the USA for isoflurane and sevoflurane veterinary vaporizers and anesthesia accessories. By supplying its market-leading, precision-engineered vaporizers, trolleys and accessories, in conjunction with Dechra's isoflurane and sevoflurane general inhalation anaesthetic agents, the collaboration seeks to create a powerful new force in veterinary anaesthesia coupled with proven, trusted and peerless quality delivery technologies.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

COVID-19 had a substantial impact on the global anaesthesia vaporizer market and the COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increased demand for healthcare services, including surgeries and medical procedures, which has boosted the performance of the healthcare sector.

Also, during the pandemic over 20% of coronavirus victims suffered from acute respiratory distress syndrome needing lifesaving therapies in ICUs which led to enormous resource and infrastructure challenges. However, the crisis arguably created the perfect incubator for new ideas and accelerated innovation in anaesthesia vaporizers which helped the market to grow during the forecast period.
