EXTERNAL NASAL DILATOR MARKET REPORT OVERVIEW

The global external nasal dilator market size was USD 0.54 billion in 2024 and market is projected to touch USD 0.88 billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2025 To 2033.

An External Nasal Dilator is a small device that is placed on the outside of the nose to help open up the nasal passages and improve airflow. It is designed to reduce nasal resistance and help people breathe more easily through their nose. The dilator works by physically pulling open the nasal valves, which are the narrowest part of the nasal passage. This allows more air to flow through and reduces the effort required to breathe. External Nasal Dilators are commonly used by athletes to improve their breathing during physical activity, as well as by people with nasal congestion or sleep apnea to help them breathe more comfortably at night. They are typically made of plastic or rubber, and are available in a variety of shapes and sizes to fit different nose types.

Athletes often use External Nasal Dilators to help improve their breathing during physical activity, especially during high-intensity sports like running, cycling, and triathlons. External Nasal Dilators can help alleviate symptoms of nasal congestion by physically opening up the nasal passages, allowing for better airflow.

They may be used in conjunction with other treatments for sleep apnea, a condition in which a person’s breathing is interrupted during sleep. Some people use External Nasal Dilators to help reduce snoring, as they can improve nasal airflow and reduce the likelihood of the soft tissues in the back of the throat vibrating and causing snoring.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Pandemic increased the Market Demand

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the External Nasal Dilator Market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The increased focus on respiratory health and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) such as face masks has led to an increased demand for nasal dilators. Some people have reported experiencing nasal congestion and difficulty breathing while wearing masks, and External Nasal Dilators can help alleviate these symptoms by improving nasal airflow. While the increased demand for these devices has led to some challenges, it has also highlighted the importance of respiratory health and may have led to increased awareness and adoption of nasal dilators as a way to improve nasal breathing.

LATEST TRENDS

Increased focus on comfort and convenience to Fuel Market Growth.

Manufacturers are increasingly designing External Nasal Dilators that are comfortable to wear and easy to use. This includes devices that are made with softer materials and are less obtrusive than traditional rigid devices. There is growing interest in using eco-friendly materials in the manufacturing of External Nasal Dilators. This includes biodegradable plastics and materials made from natural fibers. While External Nasal Dilators have traditionally been used for sports performance and respiratory conditions, there is growing interest in their potential use in other areas, such as cosmetic surgery and as a non-invasive alternative to nasal strips.
