The extracorporeal CO2 removal devices market is projected to reach US$ 182.88 million by 2031 from US$ 112.50 million in 2024. The market is estimated to register a CAGR of 7.3% during 2025-2031. Major factors driving the market growth include the rising prevalence of respiratory diseases, growing awareness of minimally invasive procedures, and an increasing geriatric population are propelling the adoption of extracorporeal CO2 removal devices. Further, rising demand in emerging economies will likely boost the market during the forecast period. However, high equipment cost and maintenance, lack of standardized clinical guidelines, stringent regulatory approvals are among the market deterrents.
One of the most persuasive factors driving the expansion of the extracorporeal CO2 removal (ECCO2R) devices market is the global trend of an aging population, with people aged 60, 65, or older who suffer from chronic respiratory diseases and disproportionately experience acute respiratory failure. The World Health Organization (WHO) statistics indicate that the population aged 60 or over is expected to increase from an estimated 1.1 billion in 2023 to approximately 1.4 billion in 2030, and further to 2.1 billion by 2050, when they will constitute around 22% of the global population. Besides, older age has turned out to be one of the most notable factors in the occurrence of COPD and patient survival: in 2021, the global number of male cases and female cases among people aged 70-74 years were estimated to be 14 million and 15 million respectively, while the death rate and DALYs were highest in males aged 90-94 and females older than 95. It is suggested that older adults will likely be the primary users of the medical system, especially those segments related to respiratory care. In most cases, these people are not strong enough to endure the trauma caused by an invasive mechanical ventilation; therefore, ECCO2R is a good solution that can be simply a replacement or a supplement to it. The elderly population remains one of the primary structural factors driving the growth of the ECCO2R market, as these trends continue to evolve.
