Medical Suction Devices Market Size & Share

Medical Suction Devices Market Research, 2031

The global medical suction devices market size was valued at $730.7 million in 2021 and is projected to reach $1,391.1 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 6.8% from 2022 to 2031. A medical suction device is a type of medical equipment used to remove body fluids, secretions, or impurities from the body of a patient. It operates by creating negative pressure, which draws fluids or impurities into a collection container. Suction devices are commonly used in emergency and clinical settings, such as hospitals, ambulances, and home care settings, to help clear the airway of patients who are unable to clear secretions on their own

Medical Suction Devices Market

Market dynamics

The medical suction devices market share has witnessed growth owing to a rise in the incidence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis, and bronchiectasis patients who experience difficulty and are unable to clear their own secretions. For instance, according to World Health Organization (WHO) report published in May 2022, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of death worldwide, causing 3.23 million deaths in 2019.

In addition, the infection can trigger pneumonia, causing the lungs to become more inflamed and fill with fluid. Therefore, the rise in prevalence of chest infection such as bronchitis and pneumonia drive the growth of the medical suction devices market size. For instance, according to the data of the World Health Organization (WHO) in November 2022, children, as well as adults over the age of 65 and people with preexisting health problems, are at a higher risk for pneumonia.

Furthermore, the rise in prevalence of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) wherein patients are unable to control their muscles such as while vomiting and the increase in air pollution that causes lung infection and acute respiratory diseases, drive the growth of the medical suction devices market share. For instance, according to the article “ALS Prognosis” published in August 2019, it’s estimated that there are currently around 450,000 people living with the ALS disease worldwide. According to the ALS Association, the incidence rate of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is 1.8 to 2 per 100,000 people, which implies 5,760 to 6,400 new diagnoses per year.

In addition, increase in use of medical suction in various procedures such as endoscopy, medical suction device-assisted delivery of baby and rise in geriatric population who are vulnerable to lungs disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis, and bronchiectasis, drives the growth of the market. For instance, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2020, it was estimated that about 727 million people aged 65 years or over are projected to more than double by 2050, reaching over 1.5 billion people. The share of older people in the global population is expected to increase from 9.3 % in 2020 to 16.0 % in 2050.

Moreover, increase in awareness regarding portable medical suction devices in developing country, rise in disposable income, increase in funding, rise in discovery & development of effective medical suction devices product, drive the growth of the medical suction devices market. For instance, in November 2020, Airway Medical Ltd. announced that they have been awarded funding from Innovate UK, an investment of up to $231.13 million (£191 million) for development of innovative portable and lightweight suction devices via the Sustainable Innovation Fund over the next two years.
