Medical suction Device Market

The Global Medical Suction Devices market size was around USD 735 million in 2016. It is
expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.9% to reach USD 889.95 million by 2021.
In medicine, devices are often necessary to create suction. Suction may be utilized to clear
the airway of blood, saliva, vomit, or other secretions for a patient to be able to breathe.
Suctioning can prevent pulmonary aspiration, which often causes lung infections. In
pulmonary hygiene, suction is utilized for removing fluids from the airways, to facilitate
breathing and prevent growth of infectious microorganisms.
Key factors fuelling the growth of this market are the paradigm shift to home healthcare
from traditional healthcare settings and the growing need for compact and portable
devices. Furthermore, the increasing adoption of home care has caused the demand for
portable suction devices to rise due to their reliability, ease of use, high durability &
robustness. This helps healthcare providers and patients to utilize suction devices without
any assistance. The secondary factors contributing to the development of this market are
augmenting geriatric population (with the rising aging population the demand for
emergency care rises, which further increases the demand for handheld devices which
provide instant relief to patients), falling prices of suction devices, growing incidences of
chronic respiratory diseases, and increase in the number of surgical procedures (which have
increased the utilization of suction devices that are specifically utilized during surgeries).
Moreover, emerging markets have opened an array of opportunities for companies in the
medical suction devices market.
But still, the highly commoditized market and limited reimbursement policies are very likely
to hamper the growth of this market to a certain extent during the aforementioned forecast
period.
The global Medical Suction Devices market can be categorized into four categories: by
Portability, by Type, by application and by end user. On the basis of portability, Medical
Suction Devices market is classified into Handheld Suction Devices and Wall-Mounted
Suction Devices. The non-portable category is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during
the aforementioned forecast period because of the rising number of surgical procedures
and the high price of the devices. If we go by type, Medical Suction Devices market is
segmented into Ac-Powered Devices, Battery-Powered Devices, Dual-Powered Devices and
Manually Operated Devices. The electrically powered vacuum systems category
commanded the largest market share in 2016. It is because of the widespread awareness
and rising adoption of these devices in surgical settings. Further, on the basis of application
the market can be categorized into Airway Clearing, Surgical Applications and Research and
Diagnostics. Last but not the least, on the basis of end user the market is segmented into
Hospitals and Clinics, Home Care, Prehospital and Other End Users.
