Medical Suction Devices Market Expected to Reach $1,391.1 Million by 2031—Allied Market Research

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Medical Suction Devices Market," The 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 device used to remove bodily fluids, secretions, or foreign material from a patient's airways or other body cavities. It works by creating a negative pressure to suck out the material and typically uses a disposable sterile suction catheter or tube that is inserted into the patient's body. The device is commonly used in medical procedures, resuscitation, and emergency care to maintain a clear airway and prevent suffocation. Medical suction device is also used to remove secretions, fluid, or food particles during endoscopic procedures and are also used to assist the delivery of a baby. There are several types of medical suction devices, including electrically operated devices and manually operated devices. Electrically operated devices are run on electricity. Manually operated devices are typically small, portable, and powered by manual pumping action.

The growth of the medical suction devices market share is majorly driven by a rise in prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis patients that find difficulty or unable to clear their own secretions. In addition, the major medical suction devices market trends include the rise in geriatric population who are vulnerable to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchiectasis. For instance, according to World Health Organization (WHO), data published in 2022, between 2015 and 2050, the proportion of the world's population over 60 years will nearly double from 12% to 22%. According to same source, the population of people aged above 60 years was larger than the population of children younger than 5 years of age in 2020. 

In addition, the increase in medical suction device assisted deliveries, rise in use of medical suction device in endoscopy, gastrointestinal drainage and rise in technological advancement in medical suction devices drives the growth of medical suction devices market size. Furthermore, the rise in number of patients with neuromuscular diseases who are unconscious and unable to control their muscles such as while vomiting require aspirators; thus, this drives the growth of the market. For instance, according to National Multiple Sclerosis Society 2019, between 750,000 and 1 million people in the U.S. over the age of 18 are living with multiple sclerosis (MS).

Moreover, rise in R&D investments, significant increase in capital income in developed countries, and rise in key strategies including product launch, collaboration, merger, funding, acquisition, agreement, adopted by key players, drive the growth of the medical suction devices market share. For instance, in August 2020, Medela has been awarded a group purchasing agreement for Suction Canisters Yankauers with Premier Inc. Effective August 1, the new agreement allows Premier members, at their discretion, to take advantage of special pricing and terms pre-negotiated by Premier for airway suction device and virus filters.

On the basis of type, the electrically operated devices segment generated maximum revenue in 2021, and is expected to witness highest CAGR during the forecast period, owing to high adoption of electrically operated medical suction devices that can be used consistently & effectively over a long period. In addition, the increase in the use of electrically operated medical suction devices in home care and increase in technologically advancement in electrically operated medical suction devices drive the growth of the medical suction devices industry.

On the basis of portability, the portable segment generated maximum revenue in 2021, and is expected to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period, owing to high adoption of portable suction device, availability of various portable suction device and has various advantages such as it can be moved and used anywhere such as ambulances, home care settings, and other healthcare facilities. In addition, high preference of healthcare professional for portable suction device drives the growth of the portable segment.

On the basis of application, the airway clearing segment is expected to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period, owing to a rise in demand for medical suction devices for clearing debris from the lungs and airways and rise in prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchitis, and chest infection globally.

On the basis of end user, the others (home care, ambulatory surgical centers) segment is expected to witness the highest CAGR during the medical suction devices market forecast period, owing to rise in use of medical suction devices in home care, ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs), pre-hospital. 

Depending on region, North America generated maximum revenue in 2021, owing to strong presence of key players, robust healthcare infrastructure, and availability of approved medical suction devices with higher adoption of medical suction devices. Asia-Pacific witnessed the highest growth in 2021, and is expected to witness highest CAGR, owing to increase in population, surge in healthcare expenditure, rise in awareness related to medical suction devices.
