PORTABLE PHLEGM SUCTION MARKET OVERVIEW

The portable phlegm suction market, valued at USD 0.69 billion in 2024, is forecasted to grow consistently, reaching USD 0.72 billion in 2025 and ultimately hitting USD 1.07 billion by 2033, at a steady CAGR of 4.9% from 2025 to 2033.

The global COVID-19 pandemic was unprecedented & staggering, with portable phlegm suctions experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic times.

A portable phlegm suction machine is an oil-free and lubrication device used by patients with difficulty in phlegm extraction due to illness, operation, and coma, and for aspirating liquid such as blood or obstructions such as saliva, mucus, and pus during clinical procedures. It is the usually applied medical device in emergency rooms, operating rooms, nursing rooms, or home healthcare. When people cannot remove secretions due to lack of consciousness or ongoing medical operations, suction devices help them breathe by maintaining an uninterrupted airway.

Professionals use suction devices as a vital part of a treatment procedure when a patient's airway is obstructed. Some common uses of the device are clearing respiratory secretions for the patient, assisting unconscious patients, removing blood from the air tract, and clearing foreign substances from a patient's windpipe or lungs. Since they are used in conjunction with other medical technologies to treat life-threatening conditions, suction machines have become vital in pre-hospital settings.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Healthcare Industry Collapse Impeded Market Growth

The collapse of healthcare clinics due to the circulation of the virus and diversion of attention to making vaccines impeded the market demand and growth for phlegm suction devices in the healthcare industry. The sudden increase in the need for healthcare staff and research facilities during the pandemic negatively affected the market growth, share, and sales of the devices, leading to revenue downfall for investors and manufacturers worldwide. However, the market is set to boom exponentially post the pandemic in developing regions.

LATEST TRENDS

Demand for Home Patient Care to Drive Market Growth

The demand for portable phlegm suction machines for patient care at home will drive the market growth and share of the industry due to demand by patients unable to clear secretions and receiving palliative care for chronic diseases. The rise in the prevalence of tracheostomy is also driving the market demand as the population that undergoes treatment is increasing in developed regions such as North America. Therefore, the market will experience an exponential boom in its production and supply chains.
