Mechanical ventilators are life-supporting medical devices designed to assist or replace spontaneous breathing in patients with respiratory failure, critical illnesses, or undergoing surgeries requiring anesthesia. These devices play a vital role in intensive care units (ICUs), emergency departments, transport, and homecare settings. The market has gained significant attention following the COVID-19 pandemic, which exposed the global need for advanced respiratory care infrastructure and preparedness. Growth is now driven by rising cases of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, sleep apnea, and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), along with technological advancements in non-invasive ventilation and portable systems.
The global mechanical ventilators market generated USD 5.47 billion in 2022 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.79% from 2023 to 2032. The market is expected to reach USD 9.60 billion by 2032.
