Manual Resuscitator Market

Manual Resuscitator Market Outlook for 2024 to 2034

The global manual resuscitator market is estimated to be worth USD 647.6 million in 2024. Displaying a CAGR of 6.4% through 2034, the industry is slated to be worth USD 1,204.3 million by the end of the forecast period.

While manual resuscitators are considered to be essential equipment for hospitals, automatic resuscitators provide them with significant competition. With technology playing an ever-increasing role in healthcare, doctors are preferring automatic versions of resuscitators. Automatic resuscitators eliminate the potential for human error while also saving energy. Thus, the adoption of automatic versions of the product is increasing in hospitals.

A significant number of hospitals, however, do not have the budget for automatic resuscitators. Hospitals in rural areas and underdeveloped countries often face this problem. Even in developed countries, public hospitals are facing problems with budget cuts. In such cases, manual versions of the product are preferred.

The objective of the product, known variously as bag valve mask, Ambu bag, and self-inflating bag, is to revive as many lives as possible. As such, improvements are being made to the product to make it more helpful for treating patients of all age groups. Augmented infant resuscitator is one such add-on that is helping the product be more effective in the treatment of infants with breathing problems.

The number of patients with breathing problems is climbing. As the effects of global warming become more apparent and respiratory diseases become more common, the need for bag valve masks is felt on a greater scale. The Global Burden of Disease Study 2017 found that around 7.4% of the world’s population suffered from a chronic respiratory disease. Thus, the demand for Ambu bags is on the up.

Bag valve masks are life-savers when a patient’s breathing gets troubled, and there is no time for ventilators. However, such high-pressure situations require skilled professionals. The lack of capable medical personnel in certain hospitals reduces the effectiveness of resuscitators. Thus, the growth potential of the sector is limited.

Key Industry Highlights

Rising Number of In-hospital Cardiac Arrests Necessitate Use of Manual Resuscitators

The growth in cardiac arrests is making bag valve masks indispensable. In-hospital cardiac arrests, especially, highlight the importance of resuscitators as an essential part of hospital equipment. It is estimated that more than 290,000 adults suffer from in-hospital cardiac arrests each year in the United States.

With hospitalization rates on the up all over the globe, the number of people suffering from cardiac arrests in health institutions is also rising. As such, the adoption of Ambu bags in healthcare institutions is set to advance at a rapid rate.

Growing Importance of Neonatal Care Benefits Manual Resuscitator Market

Initiatives for better care of infants in hospitals mean more attention is being paid to neonatal care. With parents too being more informed of the need to properly handle babies, hospitals cannot afford to skimp on infant care equipment.

It is claimed that about 10% of all newborn babies require assistance in breathing. Thus, bag valve masks are proving to be must-haves, and healthcare institutions are purchasing larger quantities of them.

Technological Advances to Pump New Life into Industry

Technological advances in bag valve masks are poised to open up new avenues for development. For example, ventilator machines that also function as manual resuscitators. Another example is Ambu bags with rotatable patient connectors. Thus, stakeholders are focusing on developing products with advanced technology to expand the scope of the industry.

2019 to 2023 Global Manual Resuscitator Sales Outlook Compared to Demand Forecasts for 2024 to 2034

The manual resuscitator market advanced at a rate of 4.8% for the period between 2019 and 2023. This allowed the value to climb from USD 483.7 million in 2019 to USD 611.8 million in 2023.

With the arrival of the pandemic, hospitals became even busier than before in handling patients with respiratory problems. With a new disease on the horizon, more need was felt for hospital equipment. Bag valve masks were one of the equipment that hospitals required more as patient admittance rates shot up.

Even with the pandemic subsiding, the industry is still poised for promising growth. In the forecast period, the industry is expected to advance at an even faster rate than in the historical period. Government initiatives aimed at improving the healthcare sector's proficiency result in hospitals having more budgets to buy equipment, leading to an increase in resuscitators in healthcare institutions.

The medical sector is also seeing an increase in trained professionals who know how to operate the machines, contributing to a positive outlook for the product in the forecast period. Additionally, technologically advanced versions of the product are expected to add considerable value to the sector. Given that the healthcare realm continually requires cutting-edge technology to lower mortality rates in patients, improving technology is viewed as the way forward by manufacturers. With a combination of educational campaigns and technological breakthroughs, the industry is expected to move forward at a solid pace.

Category-wise Insights

The self-inflating manual resuscitator is the top product in the sector. Hospitals prefer disposable versions of the product.

Self-inflating Resuscitators are Preferred for Neonatal Care

Self-inflating versions of the product are estimated to take up 63.3% of the market share in 2024. Neonatal care has emerged at the forefront as a prominent area of concern for Ambu bags. Self-inflating bag valve masks are preferred in neonatal care for the precision they provide. The pairing of self-inflating bag valve masks with augmented infant resuscitators also serves to increase the segment's growth.

Segment	Self-Inflating Manual Resuscitator (Product Type)
Value Share (2024)	63.3%

Medical Institutions Prefer Disposable Equipment

Disposable manual resuscitators are expected to hold 66.7% of the market share in 2024. The preference of medical personnel is to dispose of tools after procedures are over. This tendency is evident in gloves and masks that are disposed of regularly after one use in hospitals. The fear of infection is at the front of the mind for both patients and doctors. Thus, disposable versions of the product rule the roost.

Patient Pool in China Sees Growth Opportunities Abound

China is slated to be fertile ground for the manual resuscitator market going forward. The sector is set to progress at a CAGR of 9.4% through 2034. The sheer population of China makes the patient pool country-wide. Chronic diseases, reparatory diseases, and more disorders that necessitate the use of bag valve masks are thus on the rise in China.

Air pollution is evident much more prominently in China, having an adverse effect on the breathing of the populace. With healthcare being a priority for the government in China, the future of the industry looks bright in the country.

Neonatal Care Rising in Prominence in the United Kingdom

The manual resuscitator market is predicted to register a CAGR of 7.5% in the United Kingdom over the ensuing decade. In the United Kingdom, neonatal care has received increased prominence. With doctors now being even more diligent in the treatment of infants, bag valve masks are being resorted to a greater degree.

Competition Outlook

The manual resuscitator market is fairly fragmented, with several companies vying for share and with room to grow for enterprises of all sizes. As with other healthcare sector players, partnerships with research organizations and public healthcare institutions are being sought.

One of the prominent companies in the industry, Vyaire Medical Inc., faced a setback recently. The company had to recall certain versions of its AirLife product due to a manufacturing defect. Ambu A/S looks to innovate to keep demand flowing. The company’s oval silicone resuscitator is a popular product.
