The market growth is owing to rising geriatric population, as they are susceptible to various respiratory disorders. Furthermore, lack of exercise, adoption of lifestyle habits such as smoking & consumption of tobacco are triggering the incidence rates of respiratory disorders. For instance, according to the World Health Organizations (WHO) regional office for Europe, population aged 85 years and above is estimated to reach 40 million by 2050. Therefore, increasing population base is expected to develop chronic disease such as asthma, lung cancer, cardiovascular disease among others.
Furthermore, increasing influence of home healthcare facilities that provide improved convenience for various respiratory diseases will drive the medical gas equipment market value in North America. Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) are the major diseases causing immobilization in patients. Thus, usage of respiratory therapy including oxygen therapy and airway management at homecare setting will increase the demand for respiratory devices in point of care diagnostics and home healthcare.
The manifolds segment exceeded USD 187.9 million revenue in 2021. Manifold systems play a major role in providing constant, uninterrupted supply of medical gas pressure to medical facilities pipeline systems.
