An extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) machine is a specialized medical device designed to provide cardiac and respiratory support by oxygenating blood outside the body. It is typically used for patients with severe heart or lung failure, offering critical care in life-threatening conditions.
The main components of an ECMO machine include pumps, oxygenators, controllers, cannulas, and accessories. ECMO pumps circulate blood through the oxygenator, ensuring adequate blood flow during respiratory or cardiac failure. These pumps play a vital role in sustaining circulation during ECMO procedures. ECMO modalities consist of veno-venous (VV), veno-arterial (VA), and arterio-venous (AV) configurations, tailored to meet specific clinical needs. Patient types include neonates, pediatrics, and adults, with applications primarily in treating respiratory and cardiac conditions. Key end users of ECMO machines include hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and research institutions.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the healthcare sector, especially in the supply of essential medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and pharmaceuticals. Hospitals and healthcare providers are grappling with higher costs for imported surgical tools, imaging systems, and consumables like syringes and catheters, many of which have limited domestic substitutes. These escalating expenses are putting pressure on healthcare budgets, prompting some providers to delay equipment upgrades or pass increased costs on to patients. Furthermore, tariffs on raw materials and components are disrupting the manufacturing of vital drugs and devices, leading to supply chain delays. In response, the industry is adopting diversified sourcing strategies, expanding local production where feasible, and pushing for tariff exemptions on critical medical products.
The extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) machine market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) machine market statistics, including the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) machine industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) machine market share, detailed extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) machine market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) machine industry. This extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) machine market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The extracorporeal membrane oxygenation machine (ecmo) machine market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.07 billion in 2024 to $1.15 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to an aging population with chronic illnesses, increased government funding for healthcare infrastructure, rising demand in emergency and critical care, increasing prevalence of lifestyle-related disorders, and growing healthcare expenditure.
The extracorporeal membrane oxygenation machine (ecmo) machine market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.57 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the rising prevalence of cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, increasing cases of cardiogenic shock, growing demand for advanced life-support systems, the rising number of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) centers worldwide, and growing application in lung transplantation. Major trends in the forecast period include the integration of artificial intelligence for real-time monitoring, the integration of augmented reality in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) training, technological advancements in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) machines, the development of wireless ECMO systems, and digital twin technology.
The forecast of 8.0% growth over the next five years reflects a slight reduction of 0.2% from the previous projection. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. The imposition of tariffs may pose a significant challenge for U.S. critical care by restricting access to ECMO oxygenators and perfusion circuits imported from the Netherlands and South Korea, potentially compromising life-saving interventions and increasing ICU operational costs. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The increasing number of lung transplant procedures is significantly driving the growth of the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) machine market. Lung transplants, a life-saving option for patients with end-stage lung diseases, have become more prevalent due to advancements in surgical techniques, enhanced post-transplant care, and an expanding organ donor pool. ECMO machines play a vital role in the success of lung transplant procedures by providing critical support to patients with severe respiratory failure, ensuring stability while awaiting donor lungs. For example, according to the American Journal of Transplantation in February 2024, the number of lung transplants in the United States increased from 2,569 in 2021 to 2,743 in 2022. This rising demand for lung transplants underscores the growing reliance on ECMO machines, fueling market growth.
Companies in the ECMO machine market are investing in innovative technologies, such as configurable one-system ECMO solutions, to improve patient outcomes and streamline critical care processes. Configurable ECMO machines offer flexibility by tailoring settings and components to individual patient needs, ensuring optimal respiratory and cardiac support. For instance, in September 2024, Medtronic plc launched VitalFlow, a state-of-the-art ECMO solution emphasizing simplicity, adaptability, and high performance. This system supports both venovenous (VV) and venoarterial (VA) configurations, offering advanced monitoring capabilities and ease of use in diverse clinical scenarios, thus enhancing patient care in critical environments.
In March 2024, Medtronic plc acquired MC3 Cardiopulmonary, a leader in ECMO technology development, to strengthen its cardiac surgery and critical care portfolio. This acquisition enables Medtronic to integrate cutting-edge ECMO technologies into its product offerings, providing innovative solutions for patients experiencing severe heart and lung failure. MC3 Cardiopulmonary's expertise in ECMO system development aligns with Medtronic's vision of advancing life-support solutions, positioning the company as a leader in the rapidly growing ECMO machine market.
