Artificial Lung Global Market Report 2026

An artificial lung is a medical device created to assume the function of natural lungs by supplying oxygen to the blood and eliminating carbon dioxide. It is commonly employed in patients experiencing severe respiratory failure or during surgeries where temporary cessation of heart and lung function is necessary. This technology aims to support or replace lung function, facilitating patient survival and recovery from critical conditions.

The primary types of artificial lungs include single roller pump heart-lung machines, double roller pump heart-lung machines, bubble artificial lungs, and membrane artificial lungs. A single roller pump heart-lung machine operates using a single roller pump to circulate blood through an artificial lung and back into the patient during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. These machines are utilized in cardiac surgery, lung transplants, acute respiratory failure treatments, and other medical procedures, catering to diverse end users such as hospitals, emergency centers, and healthcare facilities.

Tariffs are influencing the artificial lung market by increasing the cost of imported precision components, membranes, pumps, and control electronics used in heart-lung machines and membrane artificial lung systems, thereby raising overall production and procurement costs for hospitals and emergency care facilities. The most affected segments include membrane artificial lung devices and portable roller pump systems, particularly in regions dependent on international sourcing such as Asia-Pacific and Europe. At the same time, tariffs are encouraging near-shore manufacturing, regional assembly, and supplier diversification, which may support innovation and strengthen supply resilience in the long term across artificial lung product segments.

This artificial lung 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 artificial lung market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.58 billion in 2025 to $2.88 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rise in incidence of acute respiratory failure cases, early adoption of heart lung machines in cardiothoracic surgery, growth in organ transplant procedure volumes, development of membrane artificial lung technology, increasing utilization of extracorporeal life support systems.

The artificial lung market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.27 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for critical care life-support devices, growing focus on portable and compact artificial lung systems, rising investment in advanced oxygenation membrane materials, expansion of applications in emergency and trauma care, increasing adoption of minimally invasive extracorporeal support solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for artificial lung systems in severe respiratory failure and critical care management, rising adoption of extracorporeal support devices in complex cardiac and lung transplant surgeries, growing preference for minimally invasive and temporary lung support alternatives to transplantation, increasing development of portable and transport-compatible artificial lung units for emergency care settings, expanding use of membrane-based artificial lung technologies for efficient gas exchange and long-term support.

The rising prevalence of respiratory diseases is expected to drive growth in the artificial lung market in the coming years. Factors such as increasing air pollution, climate change, and lifestyle changes have contributed to a growing burden of respiratory conditions on public health. Artificial lungs are employed to support or replace impaired lung function by providing oxygenation and removing carbon dioxide from the blood. For example, in June 2024, according to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, an Australia-based health and welfare agency, approximately 8.5 million Australians, or 34% of the population, were estimated to have chronic respiratory conditions. This includes an estimated 2.8 million people (11% of the population) living with asthma and 638,000 people (2.5% of the population) living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). As a result, the growing prevalence of respiratory diseases is propelling the artificial lung market forward.

Major companies operating in the artificial lung market are focusing on developing advanced solutions, such as portable pneumatic ECMO systems, to extend extracorporeal life support beyond the ICU and facilitate rapid patient transport and field deployment. Portable pneumatic ECMO systems use oxygen-supply-driven pumps and integrated gas management to provide extracorporeal oxygenation and circulatory support without dependence on external electric power or heavy motorized components. For instance, in May 2024, Hemovent GmbH, a Germany-based medical device company, announced that MOBYBOX, the world's first integrated portable pneumatic ECMO system, completed its initial commercial applications in Europe. MOBYBOX weighs approximately 2.5 kg, operates solely on oxygen supply without a battery or motor, incorporates Bionique Flow Technology for gentler blood handling and enhanced gas exchange, and has obtained Medical Device Regulation certification for its initial markets.

In August 2024, Getinge AB, a Sweden-based medical technology company, acquired Paragonix Technologies for approximately US$477 million. This acquisition is intended to expand Getinge's organ preservation and transplant logistics portfolio by integrating Paragonix's advanced organ transport and storage systems, thereby improving transplant outcomes and strengthening Getinge's position in cardiac and thoracic transplant workflows. Paragonix Technologies is a US-based company specializing in organ preservation and transport solutions for cardiac and thoracic transplantation.
