Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Devices Market Analysis

Global Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Devices Market Overview

The Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Devices Market Size was valued at USD 2.57 Billion in 2023. The global CPAP devices industry is projected to grow from USD 2.70 Billion in 2024 to USD 4.78 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.45% during the forecast period (2024 - 2032).

CPAP devices are commonly used to treat obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. The device operates by releasing air into the nose and throat. The blow induces a positive pressure to hold the upper airway open when the patient is asleep. This helps to treat snoring or breathing problems. The ever-increasing technological advancements deployed in the CPAP devices are also expected to fuel market growth.

The CPAP devices market is accelerated by the rising number of patients with sleep apnea, obesity, or other respiratory disorders. Reports suggest that a large portion of the global population is obese. Hence, this has led to a rise in respiratory issues among people of all age groups. The fast-growing number of people with obesity helps demand the continuous positive airway pressure devices market size.

FDA 510(k) Clearance for Vivos Therapeutics’ CARE (Complete Airway Repositioning and/or Expansion) oral devices designed for adults with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) was awarded in November 2023. Included in this clearance are the firm’s top DNA, mRNA and mmRNA oral appliances. 

In Korea, Samsung Electronics announced in October 2023 that on its Health Monitor app it has a new sleep apnea feature authorized by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS). In Korea, the Galaxy Watch series will have this element as early as 2024. 

ResMed and Bittium Biosignals Ltd. –a subsidiary of Bittium Corporation– agreed in October 2023 that ResMed would distribute Bittium Respiro, an advanced Home Sleep Apnea Test and Analysis Solution. The whole package includes the Bittium Respiro measuring device, accessories as well as the Bittium Respiro Analyst software analysis tool and service platform. 

United States-based medical equipment company ResMed introduced AirSense 11 to the market in August 2021. The PAP (positive airway pressure) device aims to assist individuals with sleep apnea.

Philips has partnered with Cognizant medical providers since July 2021 to create more end-to-end solutions. The aim is to have integrated digital health solutions from Philips & Cognizant that enhance patient care across healthcare providers and accelerate clinical trials among life sciences companies.

The current agreement between Elekta and Philips was signed by these two companies in June 2012 to deepen their existing strategic partnership focused on advancing comprehensive, personalized cancer care through precision oncology solutions. This new stage of collaboration builds on the earlier successful efforts of two firms in the growing field of magnetic resonance-guided adaptive radiation therapy.

Covid-19 Analysis

After the impact of Covid-19 across the globe, many large-scale businesses and industries suffered, except healthcare and life support products. The lockdown and physical distancing protocols also affected many small and big business institutions alike. However, the continuous positive airway pressure devices market saw significant growth after the pandemic.

This is because the rise in Covid-19 cases also led to a demand for respiratory aid devices to help patients breathe easier. There is also a shortage of ventilators around the world, which made hospitals switch to alternative breathing aids such as CPAP devices. Hence, these factors are expected to fuel the market growth even during the pandemic.

Recent Industry Developments:

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Devices Market Trends

CPAP industry Drivers

A few factors may drive the continuous positive airway pressure devices market growth. The rising cases of obesity, sleep apnea, and Covid-19 around the world have led to a demand for breathing aid devices. However, this may also lead to high healthcare expenditure. Hence, CPAP devices serve as the ideal alternative to conventional breathing aids. These factors are expected to fuel the global market growth.

CPAP industry Opportunities

The major companies that account for the largest CPAP devices market share adopt various market trends such as new product launches in the field. The advancements in technology and research are adding to its growth. Moreover, most companies are also adopting R&D market trends. Hence, these factors serve as opportunities for global CPAP devices market growth.

CPAP industry Restraints

There are a few factors that may inhibit the growth of the continuous positive airway pressure devices industry. One of the most important of them is the high cost of the CPAP devices. They are often not affordable for everyone. Moreover, the use of these devices also has adverse effects on the patients. Hence, these factors may hinder the CPAP devices market growth in the long run.

CPAP industry Challenges

Most patients who use the CPAP devices have reported that devices feel uncomfortable and do not seem fit for everyday use. They also seem to have adverse side effects on the patients who use the device. Hence, the CPAP devices manufacturer companies often find it challenging to cater to the expectations of the consumers. This may slow down the continuous positive airway pressure devices market growth in the forecast period.

CPAP industry Value Chain Analysis

The continuous positive airway pressure devices market outlook is expected to be prosperous. This is because of the growing number of sleep apnea cases among the global population. The CPAP devices help increase the air pressure in the throat to prevent the airway from collapsing when breathing. These devices are suitable for everyday use at home while asleep.

The CPAP devices are also available in two types of automation technology – manual and automatic. The automatic devices are run by automatically controlling the air pressure in the airway. The automatic CPAP device market is witnessed the fastest growth rate over the forecast years. Post the pandemic, people affected with Covid-19 often suffer from breathing issues. Hence, continuous positive airway pressure devices can be used to aid patients in breathing.
