Market Trends of Oxygenators Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Oxygenators Market according to our research experts:
The Membrane Oxygenators Segment is Expected to Hold the Largest Market Share
The membrane oxygenators segment is expected to witness the largest market share during the forecast period due to their rising adoption in CABG procedures and extracorporeal circulation for cardiopulmonary support in various surgical procedures, along with heart-lung machines, due to advantages such as reduction of the damage of tissues and thrombosis compared to bubble oxygenators. Also, their rapid deployability, effective gas exchange in a relatively small membrane surface area, enhanced blood flows, less hemolysis, and less post-operative bleeding further boost the growth of the segment.
Based on application, the respiratory segment is expected to hold a major market share during the forecast period. This can be attributed to the rise in the prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cardiopulmonary diseases.
Moreover, in April 2020, an Indian firm, Genrich Membranes, which is being funded by the Department of Science and Technology (DST), India, developed membrane oxygenator equipment for the treatment of COVID-19 patients. Hence, companies are working on manufacturing oxygenators as the surgeries that were put on hold during the initial days are now resuming, and thus, the demand for these devices is rising.
North America is Expected to Dominate the Market Over the Forecast Period
The United States has been the most affected country across the world, as the non-emergent surgical procedures were put on hold, due to which the demand for these devices will decrease. However, the surgical procedures are resuming now with proper regulating guidelines, which will further increase the demand for these oxygenators, and the market growth will gradually rise.
North America is expected to dominate the overall oxygenators market throughout the forecast period. The major factors attributing to the growth are rise in the global prevalence of multiple cardiovascular indications like CAD, ischemic strokes, and atrial fibrillation, along with acute respiratory disorders such as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), due to a rise in chronic diseases, such as diabetes and obesity, necessitating the cardiopulmonary bypass procedures and thus, rise in demand for oxygenators. For instance, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2021, heart disease accounts for one in four deaths in the United States. Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of deaths attributable to cardiovascular disease in the United States causing 360,900 deaths, followed by stroke (805,000). This scenario is leading to a higher demand for better treatment with efficient medication, which is driving the market in the United States.
Furthermore, favorable reimbursement policies, approvals by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and availability of healthcare infrastructure in the region are expected to fuel the market during the forecast period.
