Suction Tube Market Size

Suction Tube Market Analysis

The suction tube market is expected to grow with a CAGR of 5.8% in the forecast period.

COVID-19 has impacted the suction tube market owing to the high demand for suction tubes for treating prolonged endotracheal intubations in COVID-19 cases, globally. The production of ventilators by market players was significantly high during the pandemic. For instance, an article published in the Annals of the American Thoracic Society in March 2021, stated that the United States government entered into contracts to produce over 187 thousand ventilators during the pandemic. Airway suctioning is routinely done in most care settings, including acute care, sub-acute care, long-term care, and home settings. Endotracheal suctioning is an important component of tracheobronchial hygiene therapy in mechanically ventilated patients. Therefore, the suction tube market reported growth during the pandemic. However, the growth slightly seized since the COVID cases declined. The market is expected to show a stable growth rate during the forecast period due to the rising demand for suctioning in various applications such as dentistry and liposuction.

The factors driving the growth of the suction tubes market are the rising incidence of respiratory illnesses, including asthma and chest infections, sinus cases among children and adults, and the rising geriatric population which witnesses many health issues due to reduced immunity strength need for various treatments that involve the use of suction tubes.

For instance, a research article published in Springer Journal in February 2023, included 899 patients with moderate-to-severe (M/S) asthma, 683 patients with M/S chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). The same article reported that patients with severe asthma, 43% also suffered from CRSwNP. The rising burden of asthma and rhinitis with nasal polyps is expected to boost the demand for suction tube for treating the polyps inside your nose and sinuses.

In addition, an article published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH) in October 2021 stated that the prevalence of untreated caries ranged from 25% (Australia) to 99% (South Africa) in community dwellers and from 47% (India) to 99% (Vietnam) in institutionalized older adults. The global median of the mean prevalence of caries was 49% in 2021. Dental suction is commonly used during dental cleanings, oral surgeries, and cosmetic treatments to keep patients' teeth and mouths dry while the dentist is completing the treatment. Therefore, the high burden of dental caries worldwide in the geriatric population as well as adults is expected to accelerate the suction tube market growth during the forecast period.

Additionally, the strategic initiatives by market players such as product launches, approvals, and partnerships are also contributing to the market growth. For instance, in January 2022, P3 Medical launched the NeVap Aspire Subglottic Suction Endotracheal tube (ASSET) device designed to tighten infection control in airway management at Arab Health 2022. This device is the only FDA-approved multiport suction breathing tube developed by clinicians to make mechanical ventilation safer by preventing the risks of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). The launches of products are expected to boost their utility thereby boosting the market growth during the forecast period.

Therefore, owing to the aforementioned factors such as the high burden of dental caries, respiratory and other diseases requiring the use of the suction tube, and rising product launches, the studied market is anticipated to witness growth over the analysis period. However, stringent government regulations for the manufacturing and marketing of suction tubes are expected to restrain the growth of the market over the forecast period.
