The global positive airway pressure devices market size was valued at USD 4.82 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 7.40 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 5.48% from 2026 to 2033. This growth is attributed to the increasing prevalence of sleep apnea, advancements in technology, rising awareness and diagnosis of sleep disorders, and improving healthcare infrastructure.
These factors are fueling the demand for PAP devices globally. Growing health concerns, better diagnostic methods, and technological innovations are shaping the market's future growth prospects. Sleep apnea, particularly OSA, has become increasingly common worldwide. The growing prevalence of obesity is a major contributor to the increasing number of sleep apnea cases. Obesity is strongly linked to OSA as excess fat around the neck can obstruct airflow during sleep, leading to interrupted breathing. Sleep apnea cases have seen a sharp increase in regions where obesity rates are high (e.g., the U.S. & Europe). Obesity is a major risk factor for sleep apnea, with up to 40% of obese people also suffering from OSA in the UK. According to an article by the Sleep Apnea Trust in 2023, up to 10 million people in the UK suffer from OSA, of whom around 4 million suffer from moderate or severe OSA. Thus, the increasing prevalence of respiratory diseases in the country is expected to fuel the market over the forecast period. In addition, according to a study published in the Journal of Pulmonary Therapy in July 2022, the most common respiratory symptoms, such as shortness of breath and active cough, affect over 17% of adult citizens.
The advanced healthcare infrastructure and high investment in R&D in the U.S. have enabled manufacturers to develop & launch the latest technologies in respiratory devices, making them more efficient, portable, & user-friendly. In January 2022, Cathay Capital made a strategic investment in CPAP.com to support expansion and strengthen its position in the sleep apnea treatment market. The move reflects rising demand for CPAP and PAP devices as obstructive sleep apnea continues to grow significantly due to aging demographics and increasing obesity rates
Rising awareness and diagnosis of sleep disorders are crucial factors propelling market growth. As people become more educated about sleep apnea and its potential risks, they are more likely to seek diagnosis and treatment. Public health campaigns run by organizations such as the American Sleep Apnea Association helped improve awareness. In addition, improved diagnostic methods such as polysomnography and home sleep tests have made identifying sleep apnea in its early stages easier. The increasing recognition of sleep apnea as a significant health concern drives more individuals to pursue PAP therapy, thus fueling market demand.
