Anesthesia and respiratory devices play a vital role in the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory diseases, providing essential support for patients with conditions such as asthma, cystic fibrosis, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and others. This market encompasses a range of respiratory devices used to deliver medication and manage respiratory conditions.
The main types of anesthesia and respiratory devices include respiratory devices and equipment (both therapeutic and diagnostic), anesthesia machines, anesthesia disposables, and respiratory disposables. Respiratory disposables are designed for single-use and are discarded after factors such as excessive breathing resistance, sorbent exhaustion, physical damage, or the end of their service life makes them unsuitable for further use. Expenditure in this market can be categorized as public and private, and the products used include instruments/equipment and disposables. The utilization of these devices spans across various genders, including both male and female, and they find application in multiple end-user settings such as hospitals and clinics, diagnostic laboratories, and other healthcare facilities.
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 increase in U.S. tariffs and resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the medical equipment sector, especially for imported components used in imaging machines, surgical-grade stainless steel, and disposable plastics. With hospitals and clinics pushing back against price increases, manufacturers are facing margin pressure. The situation is further complicated by regulatory challenges, as switching suppliers due to tariffs often necessitates re-certification of medical devices, leading to delays in market entry. In response, companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing key components, ramping up domestic production of standardized items, and accelerating research into more cost-effective materials.
The anesthesia and respiratory devices market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides anesthesia and respiratory devices market statistics, including anesthesia and respiratory devices industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a anesthesia and respiratory devices market share, detailed anesthesia and respiratory devices market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the anesthesia and respiratory devices industry. This anesthesia and respiratory devices market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The anesthesia and respiratory devices market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $33.34 billion in 2024 to $37.63 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the increased prevalence of respiratory diseases, the COVID-19 pandemic, increased number of surgical procedures, strong economic growth in emerging markets, increased healthcare expenditure, and a growing aging population.
The anesthesia and respiratory devices market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $62.1 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea, technological advances, increasing use of tobacco smoking, rise in healthcare expenditure, and increasing geriatric population. Major trends in the forecast period include producing smart inhalers, investing in the research and development of wearable respiratory devices, launching new innovative products, producing portable respiratory devices, and others.
The forecast of 13.3% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.2% from the previous estimate for this market.This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through higher prices for Finnish anesthesia vaporizers and Chinese-made ventilator valves, increasing costs for surgical and critical care services.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 rising prevalence of respiratory diseases is anticipated to drive the growth of the anesthesia and respiratory devices market. Respiratory diseases refer to medical conditions that disrupt breathing and gas exchange by impacting the lungs and airway systems. Anesthesia and respiratory equipment are essential in treating respiratory diseases like tuberculosis, as they facilitate necessary medical procedures, ensure patient comfort and safety, and assist in monitoring and managing the condition. For example, a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a U.S.-based national public health agency, indicated that in 2022, there were 8,331 reported cases of tuberculosis (TB) in the United States, resulting in an incidence rate of 2.5 cases per 100,000 individuals. Additionally, approximately 13 million people are estimated to be living with latent TB infection in the country. Consequently, the increased prevalence of respiratory diseases is expected to propel the growth of the anesthesia and respiratory devices market in the future.
Rising healthcare expenditures are expected to drive the growth of the anesthesia and respiratory devices market. Healthcare expenditures encompass the total amount spent on healthcare-related services, products, and activities over a specified period, whether at the individual, community, national, or global level. As healthcare spending increases, there is generally a stronger focus on providing high-quality healthcare services, including surgical and respiratory care, leading to a demand for advanced devices that can improve patient outcomes. For example, statistics from Cross River Therapy, a U.S.-based provider of ABA therapy services, indicated that in September 2024, the U.S. pharmaceutical industry generated $550 billion in revenue, with Americans spending $576.9 billion on medications in 2021. This spending is projected to rise to between $605 billion and $635 billion by 2025. Therefore, the increase in healthcare expenditures is expected to propel the growth of the anesthesia and respiratory devices market in the coming years.
Major companies in the anesthesia and respiratory devices market are actively innovating new products, such as the Lifebox-Smile Train pulse oximeter, to enhance their profitability. This low-cost device is designed to monitor patients' oxygen saturation during surgery, thereby increasing the safety of anesthesia. For example, in July 2022, Smile Train Inc., a U.S.-based nonprofit organization and charity dedicated to providing corrective surgery for children with cleft lips and palates, launched the Lifebox-Smile Train pulse oximeter. This device plays a crucial role in ensuring patient safety by continuously monitoring oxygen levels during surgical procedures.
Companies within the anesthesia and respiratory devices market are increasingly dedicated to the development of wearable respiratory devices, aiming to enhance patient monitoring. These devices, typically worn on the torso, track breathing rates by measuring chest wall movements. Available in various forms such as small sensors, belts, or band-aid-such as designs, they connect to specialized smartphone apps that capture, interpret, and store data in cloud repositories. Focused on key respiratory healthcare areas such as pulse oximetry, pulmonary ventilation, air quality assessment, and activity tracking, these wearables alleviate healthcare provider workloads, enhance diagnostic efficiency, cut patients' regular checkup costs, and enhance patient comfort. Notably, initiatives led by researchers at the University of California and Khine Labs underscore a strong investment in developing comfortable wearables for respiratory disease patients.
