Global Airway Management Devices Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis By Type (Supraglottic Airway Management Devices, Infraglottic Airway Management Devices, Resuscitators, Laryngoscopes, Others), and by End-Users (Hospitals & Clinics, and Homecare) Forecast Period (2025-2035)
Industry Overview
Airway management devices market was valued at $2,038 million in 2024 and is projected to reach $3,928 billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2025 to 2035. Airway management devices are medical tools that keep the airway open for proper breathing during anesthesia, emergencies, or critical care, preventing obstruction and ensuring ventilation. The government across the globe is expanding healthcare infrastructure by increasing the number of advanced facilities, improving services, and advancing solutions. The expansion of healthcare infrastructure is expected to propel the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Market Dynamics
AI Assisted Systems for Airway Management
The integration of AI & robotics is transforming airway management procedures to improve the complex procedures and ensure safer practices. For instance, aiEndoscopic that introduces AI & robotics in Endoscopy for easier and safer procedures. The company provides larynGuide, an AI solution for airway management. The company's larynGuide supports the users to guide them through the procedures. The Laryngoscopy Guide helps users to successfully perform the complex task of laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation. The system works in two stages. First, a trained neural network processes the visual input from the video laryngoscope. Then, an AI interpreter translates the network's output into clear, situation-specific guidance for the clinician.
Growing Prevalence of Respiratory Diseases
The airway management devices market is growing due to the rising prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The growing prevalence of respiratory diseases is increasing the demand for effective respiratory support and advanced airway management solutions. For instance, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), COPD is the fourth leading cause of death across the globe. COPD affects more than 80 million people globally. The WHO also revealed that approximately. 6.8 million people are newly diagnosed each year. WHO stated that the cases of COPD will rise globally by 23% by 2050. Thus, this rise in respiratory diseases will create the demand for advanced airway management solutions during the forecast period. Additionally, the WHO has included COPD in its Global Action Plan to prevent and Control Noncommunicable Diseases (NCDs).
Market Segmentation
Supraglottic Airway Management Devices Segment to Lead the Market with the Largest Share
The supraglottic airway management devices segment is expected to hold the largest share of the market due to their widespread adoption in both emergency and elective procedures. The advancement in nasopharyngeal airway devices and innovation by key market players to enhance patient safety is further accelerating market growth. For instance, in June 2024, Applied Medical Technology announced the launch of IntelAir, a nasal airway support system. The company's IntelAir is a single-use device which make sure airway security, avoids cannula migration, and maintains a clear airway.
Hospitals & Clinics: A Key Segment in Market Growth
The rising prevalence of respiratory diseases such as asthma and COPD across the globe is expected to increase the demand for hospitals and clinics. The healthcare systems & government across the globe are expanding hospitals, along with healthcare expenditure is further driving the growth of the market during the forecast period. For instance,
The global airway management devices market is further divided by geography, including North America (the US and Canada), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand, ASEAN Countries, and the Rest of Asia-Pacific), Europe (the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Russia, and the Rest of Europe), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America).
Advanced Healthcare Infrastructure & Innovation in North America is Driving the Market Growth
The presence of advanced healthcare infrastructure in the region is expected to propel the growth of the market during the forecast period. The continuous product innovation and strategic initiatives by the market players, particularly in video laryngoscopes and advanced infraglottic devices, are further driving the market. For instance, in January 2025, Ambu announced the launch of its new video laryngoscopy solution to facilitate efficient intubation in both routine and difficult airway procedures in the operating room (OR) and intensive care unit (ICU). Ambu initiated the launch of the Ambu SureSight Connect solution in the USA.
Asia-Pacific Region Shares Significant Market Share
The Asia-Pacific region is witnessing the fastest growth in the airway management devices market due to the growing number of patients suffering from chronic respiratory conditions. For instance, in 2024, the article published on The Lancet Respiratory Medicine, India currently has 33 million patients with asthma and 55 million patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
The global airway management devices market is led by companies such as Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Ltd., Cook Group, Inc., Cardinal Health Inc., Boston Scientific Corp., Becton Dickinson and Co., Armstrong Medical Ltd., Ambu A/S, Medtronic PLC, Teleflex Inc., and ICU Medical, Inc., among others with market players driving growth through strategic partnerships, collaborations, mergers, and acquisitions, continuous product innovations, advanced technology integration, and expansion into emerging markets to strengthen their market presence.
