RESPIRATORY HUMIDIFYING EQUIPMENT MARKET OVERVIEW

The global respiratory humidifying equipment market size was USD 1.15 billion in 2024 and the market is projected to touch USD 2.17 billion by 2033 at a CAGR of 7.2% during the forecast period.

Equipment used to raise the humidity of the air that a person with respiratory issues breathes in is referred to as respiratory humidifying equipment. Increased humidity keeps the airways moist, which can alleviate congestion and make breathing easier. This is crucial. Nebulizers, heat humidifiers, and ultrasonic humidifiers are just a few of the different types of respiratory humidifying equipment available. Air is given more moisture by humidifying respiratory apparatus in order to prevent dry lips, skin, throat, and nose. Additionally, they can lessen a person's symptoms of the common cold and influenza. The combination of all of these factors will open up new prospects for the worldwide respiratory humidifying equipment market growth. The increased prevalence of respiratory disorders, growing public knowledge of the advantages of utilising respiratory humidifiers, and technological developments in respiratory humidifying equipment are all factors contributing to the market's expansion.

COVID-19 IMPACT

The Growing Demand of Telemedicine, Rapid Innovation and Technology Upsurged the Market Demand

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

Worldwide healthcare systems were severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which increased demand for respiratory care equipment such ventilators, oxygen concentrators, and respiratory humidifiers. Respiratory discomfort is a common symptom of patients with severe COVID-19, making humidification essential to their care. Manufacturers were forced to invent and create new products quickly due to the pressing need for respiratory care equipment. To fulfil the demand, some businesses repurposed their existing technology or worked together with others to build more humidifiers and related equipment.

A growing demand for home-based respiratory care equipment resulted from efforts to decrease hospital admissions and manage patients at home whenever possible to avoid overcrowding. Patients receiving oxygen therapy or recuperating from respiratory ailments could use portable humidifiers that are simple to operate. The pandemic enhanced the use of telemedicine and raised interest in the remote monitoring and management of respiratory patients. For the purpose of enabling remote care, certain humidifying apparatus was created to integrate with telemedicine platforms.

LATEST TRENDS

Need of Effective Treatment of Viral Infections to Advance Up the Market Share

Air is hydrated with the use of respiratory humidifiers to avoid dry lips, skin, throat, and nose. Additionally, they can lessen the symptoms that people experience from the common cold and the flu. For the market for respiratory humidifying equipment worldwide, all of the aforementioned factors will create new growth prospects.
