The global small bore connectors market is subject to regulatory impositions and procedural adoption rates, with respect to macro and industry advancements. The key developments in the market include the introduction of ultra-compact sterile connectors, as per new industry standards.
The H1-2022 outlook period in comparison to H1-2022 projected period showed negative growth in terms of Basis Point Share by 10 BPS. In H1-2022, the market growth rate of small bore connectors is expected to fall by only 08 basis point share (BPS), as per FMI analysis.
The dip in the BPS values is due to the events of medical misconnections which expose the manufacturers and caregivers to potential liability. Moreover, the demand for patient safety has necessitated the concern for patient safety in lieu of medical misconnections.
However, the development of standardized small bore connectors as per the concerned authorities such as the ISO has paved way for advanced solutions in enteral feeding or neuraxial anesthesia, and the market is expected to present a positive outlook over the forecasted years.
Over the past assessment period, the global small bore connectors market grew at a CAGR of 3.8% between 2014 and 2021. As per FMI, the sales of small bore connectors are estimated to rise by 1.33x from 2022 to 2029.
Small bore connectors are devices used for connecting medical equipment such as syringes, tubing, drips, and others to deliver gases, medicines, and fluids for patient care. Hence, increasing emphasis on the use of high-performance medical devices to enhance patient safety and reduce medical errors is projected to favor the growth in the market.
Also, the increasing prevalence of respiratory disorders such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and others is driving the market. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 65 million cases of COPD are reported across the world, causing nearly 3 million deaths.
As small-bore connectors are extensively used for providing oxygen and other liquid medicines to patients suffering from these diseases, the increasing burden of respiratory disorders is anticipated to facilitate growth in the market over the forthcoming years.
Principal Consultant
Due to the growing negligence on part of healthcare personnel, a significant rise in the incidence of medical errors, patient injury, and misconnections between medical devices has been witnessed, worldwide. Hence, governments and numerous medical regulatory organizations are emphasizing implementing novel standards to reduce the risk of tubing misconnection and enhance patient safety.
For instance, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) mandated a new set of standards under ISO 80369, outlining general requirements for gases and liquids small bore connectors in healthcare applications including material, testing method, and design for mitigation of risk.
Thus, to comply with new standards, numerous market players are focusing on the development of novel new application-specific connector designs to prevent connections with multiple medical devices for the declining risk of tubing misconnection.
On account of this, the demand in the global small bore connectors market is anticipated to propel at 4.3% CAGR over the forecast period 2022 to 2029.
Rising Number of Surgical Procedures to Augment the Small Bore Connectors Sales
As per FMI, the United Kingdom is projected to register robust growth in the Europe small bore connectors market over the assessment period.
The primary factor favoring the growth in the market is the increasing number of surgical and cosmetics procedures in the United Kingdom According to the Foundation Trust Network, more than 10 million surgical procedures and operations are performed across the United Kingdom every year.
As small-bore connectors are used to provide anesthetics such as morphine through drips or syringes to keep the patient unconscious before the operations, growing surgical procedures in the country are projected to spur the sales of small-bore connectors in the United Kingdom
Implementation of FDA Standards to Accelerate the Sales of Small Bore Connectors
Future Market Insights states that the USA is anticipated to emerge as the most remunerative market for small bore connectors in North America.
With the growing incidence of medical error and tubing misconnection, regulatory healthcare organizations in the country are implementing a number of standards to mitigate risk and enhance patient safety. For instance, the USA Food and Drug Administration (FDA) implemented 510 (K) clearance standards for small bore connectors for enteral feedings such as luer connectors to curb the risk of misconnection of tubes.
Implementation of such standards and regulations is encouraging medical equipment manufacturers to launch novel high-performance devices, which is in turn, facilitating the sales of small bore connectors in the USA market.
Introduction of New Non-standardized Products to Facilitate the Demand for Small Bore Connectors
China's small bore connectors market is expected to account for a significant share in East Asia by the end of 2029, reveals FMI.
Leading players in the country are increasingly focusing on introducing new non-standardized products to decrease risks apropos of wrong route errors during the administration of medicine via enteral and neuraxial routes. This is estimated to favor the growth in the China market.
In addition, increasing government investment in the healthcare sector and the rapidly growing number of cosmetic surgeries in the country, owing to expanding medical tourism is anticipated to further fuel the demand for small bore connectors in the country.
