Airway management comprises a set of operations and medical procedures accomplished to prevent and also help in relieving airway obstruction. This ensures an open pathway for gas exchange between a patient's lungs and the atmosphere. This can be achieved by preventing airway obstruction in cases such as anaphylaxis,the obtunded patient, or medical sedation or by clearing a previously obstructed airway. Airway blockage can be caused by the foreign objects, tongue, the tissues of the airway itself, and bodily fluids such as blood and gastric contents.Airway management is a chief consideration in the fields of anaesthesia, intensive care medicine, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, emergency medicine, neonatology, and first aid. There are various devices available for supporting the management in the proper supply of oxygen and hence helpful in airway management.

Market scope and structure analysis:

COVID-19 scenario analysis:

The COVID-19 is the pandemic which causes respiratory problems and the spread of this can only be stopped with the help of social distancing. The infected population requires medical supplies and the increase in demand of the medical devices for management of the disease is growing drastically. Respiratory support devices such as life-support machine, oxygen generator, atomizer, and monitor are among the majorly used medical equipment in primary clinical treatment. Furthermore, COVID-19 has led to a huge outpouring in demand for medical supplies such as the personal protective equipment including gloves, masks, and protective eyeglasses. With rise in number of COVID-19 cases throughout, the demand for medical supplies keeps on mounting among, both from healthcare professionals and civil population for precautionary measures. The manufacturers of these products have greater opportunity to capitalize this amplified demand of medical supplies to guarantee adequate and continuous supply of personal protective equipment in the airway management devices market.

Top impacting factors: Market Scenario Analysis, Trends , Drivers and Impact Analysis

The key factors which are anticipated to help the airway management devices market propel include rise in the prevalence of the chronic respiratory diseases is expected to boost the industry. The increase in the investments, grants done by the government bodies and funds for the improvement of the emergency care infrastructure is anticipated to propel the industry. Furthermore, rising demand for the emergency care would surge the industry. The growth in the number pre-term birth which needs the assistance of airway management devices to ensure that appropriate air flow is carried out, would help the airway management devices market grow in the coming years. However, the lack of presence of skilled professionals is expected to hinder the market growth in the near future.

New product launches to flourish the market

The rise in the number of launch of new products that are designed such that they could fulfill the need of the market would help the market gain maximum revenue.For instance, in September 2018, Royal Philips announced that it had developed a resuscitation device by getting in collaboration with the Consortium for Affordable Medical Technologies (CAMTech) to help decrease neonatal mortality. The product is named as Augmented Infant Resuscitator (AIR). This device could be used as an add-on product with standard neonatal bag-valve-mask (BVM) resuscitators generally used by caregivers to resuscitate majorly asphyxiated newborn babies.

Furthermore, in September 2019, Olympus, which is amongst the global technology leader in specialized in designing and delivering innovative solutions for surgical and medical procedures, among other core businesses, announced that it had launched two video rhino-laryngoscopes. It is proposed to be specially designed for laryngological examinations, namely the ENF-VH2/V4. It is slim and lightweight, which assists in minimizing strain and maximize performance for ENT specialists who are looking for lesions and speech language pathologists assessing the physiology of swallowing.

Surge in mergers and acquisitions to boost the market

The rise in the number of mergers and acquisitions is anticipated to help the airway management devices market grow in the forecast period. For instance, In September 2016, Ambu acquired ETView Medical Ltd. This acquisition was carried out in order to allow Ambu to reinforce its portfolio of single-use visualization products in the airway management segment. The growth in the merger and acquisition within the market leaders would help the industry to gain maximum shares in the coming years.

Additionally, in November 2017, Flexicare acquired MedisizeB.V. This acquisition was to improve its presence in three EU countries, which include the Germany, Netherlands, and Italy. Furthermore, this development is projected to hasten revenue growth and drive overall incomesand also the growth potential for Flexicare’s different range of both anesthesia and airway management products.
