by The global manual resuscitators market comprises portable manual resuscitators devices used primarily during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for patients not breathing or experiencing respiratory or cardiac arrest. Manual resuscitators, also known as Ambu bags, are hand-operated ventilation devices that deliver oxygen to the lungs during emergencies and mechanical ventilation failure. They provide critical ventilation support during CPR procedures until mechanical ventilators can be used. The key advantages of manual resuscitators include portability, ease of use, and affordability. They provide basic ventilation support in emergencies when electrical equipment may not be available. The growing incidence of cardiac and respiratory diseases has increased the need for emergency resuscitation equipment.
The Global Manual Resuscitators Market Share is estimated to be valued at US$ 540.7 million in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.6% over the forecast period from 2024 to 2031.
Key Takeaways
Key players operating in the global manual resuscitators market are WEINMANN Emergency Medical Technology GmbH + Co. KG, Laerdal Medical, Ambu A/S, Medline Industries, LP, Hopkins Medical Products, ResMed, Inc., HUM Gesellschaft für Homecare und Medizintechnik mbH, PERSYS MEDICAL, and CareFusion.
The key opportunities in the global manual resuscitators market include increasing focus on training programs for first responders and lifesaving procedures. Technological advancements are focused on the integration of manometers and pressure gauges for real-time feedback and monitoring during resuscitation. Materials advances aim to improve patient safety with non-toxic, biocompatible, and sterilizable designs.
Market drivers
The major market driver is the growing prevalence of respiratory and cardiac diseases worldwide. According to WHO data, cardiovascular diseases account for over 17 million deaths annually, with 85% of these occurring in low- and middle-income countries. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is also rising and is projected to be the third leading cause of death globally by 2030. This increases the need for emergency resuscitation equipment during cardiac arrests. The rising incidence of accidents and injuries also increases demand for manual resuscitators from emergency medical services. Affordability compared to automated respirators also drives their adoption in resource-limited settings.
Current challenges in the Global Manual Resuscitators Market:
Some of the major challenges being faced by the global manual resuscitators market are increasing demand for emergency care, lack of awareness regarding the use of manual resuscitators in underdeveloped regions, high cost of automated resuscitators, shortage of skilled professionals. The market is also challenged by the availability of low-cost products from local manufacturers. Manual resuscitators require trained professionals for operating them efficiently. Lack of training institutes impacts the efficient utilization of these devices in healthcare settings.
SWOT Analysis
Strength: Portability and ease of use of manual resuscitators make them suitable for emergencies. They are very affordable compared to automated resuscitators.
Weakness: Requires human effort to operate and chances of human errors. Tendency of over or under ventilation.
Opportunity: Growing incidence of chronic conditions and road accidents in developing nations offer scope. Rising geriatric population worldwide with higher susceptibility to cardiac attacks and pulmonary diseases.
Threats: Threat from automated resuscitators. Developing low-cost automated resuscitators can replace manual versions. Stringent regulations regarding product approvals.
Geographically, North America accounts for the largest value share in the global manual resuscitators market due to advance healthcare facilities and higher adoption of emergency medical devices. Asia Pacific is expected to witness the highest growth rate during the forecast period driven by factors like rapidly increasing aging population, growing per capita healthcare expenditure, and improving access to healthcare.
In terms of value, hospitals hold the major share in the global manual resuscitators market. This is attributed to high volume of patient admissions and emergency treatments in hospitals. Ambulances are also among the prominent end-users and are witnessing significant growth.
