Global Medical Suction Devices Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Medical Suction Devices Market Analysis

The Global Medical Suction Devices Market size is estimated at USD 1.43 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 1.93 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 5.96% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

Medical suction devices are primarily used for removing obstructions like saliva, mucus, blood, or secretions from the patient’s body. Suction devices are commonly used in emergency and clinical settings, such as ambulances, hospitals, and home care settings, to help clear the airway of patients who cannot clear secretions on their own.

The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing prevalence of chronic respiratory disorders such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), acute lower respiratory tract infections, and asthma, as well as the increasing number of surgical procedures where suction devices are used.

Medical suction devices are used in cancer for surgical interventions and also during chemotherapy and radiation for the management of blood loss and removal of fluids to provide comfort and support overall treatment efficacy. According to the Globocan 2024 updated statistics, the incidence of cancer across the world was estimated at 19.97 million in 2022, and this number is expected to reach 30.97 million by 2045. Such a high rise in the incidence of cancer cases will create the need for medical suction devices, driving the growth of the market.

The increasing number of surgical procedures in different countries across the world is propelling the growth of the market. For instance, according to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare's June 2023 update, 735,500 patients in Australia underwent elective surgery in public hospitals in 2022-2023, an increase of about 18% compared to 622,988 in 2021-2022. Such an increase in the number of elective surgeries in the country also contributes to the growth of the market. Moreover, the increasing number of cardiac procedures is raising the demand for medical suction devices, driving the growth of the market. According to the article published in the Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeons in May 2023, 162,167 heart procedures were performed in 2022 compared to 161,261 procedures in 2021 in Germany. The increasing number of surgical procedures drives the growth of the market.

The growing need for compact and portable medical suction devices is projected to boost the market’s growth in the near future. Several research studies have indicated that portable suction devices offer effective performance, ease of use, and portability, which can be utilized in challenging medical facilities. For instance, the article published in the Prehospital and Disaster Medicine Journal By Cambridge University in March 2022 highlighted the crucial features of a portable airway suction device, including its portability, robust suction, and ease of use for prehospital combat care. It also stated that the mobile battery-operated devices had increased suction capabilities and were easier to use. Such studies highlighting the benefits of the usage of portable and compact medical suction devices in different settings may contribute to a rise in the adoption of such devices, thereby boosting the growth of the medical suction devices market.

The launch of new products by the market players is expected to boost the growth of the market over the forecast period. For instance, in January 2022, Hercuvan Lab Systems launched a new vacuum aspirator series with the TT-VA-8 model and TT-VA-35 model for rapid separation of liquids and solids as well as continuous aspiration of solutions and buffers with an abundance of great features. TT-VA-35 model is an AC-powered vacuum aspirator. Such launches are increasing the adoption of such devices among doctors, which is expected to propel the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Hence, factors such as the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, the increasing number of surgical procedures, and the growing need for compact and portable medical suction devices are expected to boost the growth of the market. However, the limited reimbursement for suction devices is expected to impede market growth.
