The rising prevalence of respiratory diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and sleep apnea, is a significant driver for the airway management devices market. These conditions necessitate the use of airway management devices for effective treatment and management.

In recent years, the market has experienced a number of significant market trends. The demand for sophisticated airway management systems with improved features and functions is one obvious trend. During airway procedures, these gadgets are intended to increase patient safety and deliver better results. The increasing use of video laryngoscopes, which provide better visualization and precision during intubation procedures, is another noteworthy trend. Additionally, due to their simplicity of use, speedy insertion, and low risk of problems, supraglottic airway devices are being used more frequently on the market. To reduce the chance of cross-contamination and guarantee infection control, there is also a move towards disposable airway management tools.

North America dominated the market in 2022 and is projected to remain the fastest growing region during the forecast period, due to the prevalence of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, as well as the increase in the elderly population.
