Airway Management Devices Market to Reach USD 3.82 Billion by 2031 as Global Demand for Advanced Emergency & Critical Care Respiratory Solutions Accelerates

AUSTIN, Texas and TOKYO, Nov. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- According to DataM Intelligence, the Airway Management Devices Market Size was valued at USD 2.48 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow steadily to USD 3.82 billion by 2031, registering a CAGR of 6.4% during 2025–2031. This growth reflects the increasing global burden of respiratory diseases, expansion of surgical procedures, higher ICU admissions, and rising emphasis on pre-hospital emergency care.

Airway management devices-including laryngoscopes, supraglottic airway devices, endotracheal systems, cricothyrotomy kits, and resuscitators-represent essential equipment across anesthesia, trauma care, emergency response, neonatology, and critical care. As hospitals and EMS agencies prioritize patient safety, difficult airway protocols, and rapid-response capabilities, next-generation airway technologies are seeing rapid adoption.

A New Era of Respiratory Stabilization: Why the Market Is Strengthening

1. Rising Respiratory Disease Burden

Over 544 million people worldwide live with chronic respiratory diseases, increasing reliance on advanced airway stabilizing systems for acute exacerbations, ventilation support, and emergency intubation.

2. Surging Global Surgical Volume

More than 320 million surgical procedures performed globally each year require airway control-accelerating sales of laryngoscopes, supraglottic airway devices, and intubation aids.

3. Growth of Emergency & Pre-Hospital Care

EMS teams increasingly deploy portable airway kits, video laryngoscopes, and supraglottic devices to support trauma cases, cardiac arrests, and pediatric emergencies.

Market Segmentation:

By Type (Laryngoscopes, Infraglottic Airway Devices, Supraglottic Airway Devices, Resuscitators, Cricothyrotomy Kits, Others)

Laryngoscopes

Laryngoscopes held the largest market share in 2024, contributing 32% (USD 794 million). Increasing adoption of video laryngoscopes, higher success rates in difficult airways, and improved safety protocols across anesthesia departments are driving strong demand.

Infraglottic Airway Management Devices

Infraglottic devices-including endotracheal tubes and tracheostomy tubes-accounted for 27% (USD 670 million). Continuous usage in ICUs, emergency rooms, and long-term ventilation patients keeps this segment strong.

Supraglottic Airway Management Devices

Supraglottic airway devices contributed 21% (USD 521 million). They are gaining traction in EMS and ambulatory surgical centers due to ease of insertion, reduced training needs, and lower complication rates.

Resuscitators

Resuscitators (manual and automated) made up 12% (USD 298 million). High usage in pre-hospital care, neonatal resuscitation, and cardiac arrest management drives segment resilience.

By Age (Pediatrics/Neonates, Adults)

Adults

Adults accounted for 76% (USD 1.88 billion) of airway device usage in 2024. Aging populations, COPD prevalence, cancer surgeries, and expanded elective surgical procedures support strong adult market dominance.

Pediatrics/Neonates

Pediatric and neonatal airway devices contributed 24% (USD 595 million). Growing NICU admissions, neonatal resuscitation programs, and expanding pediatric surgical capabilities are driving this segment upward.

By End User (Hospitals, Ambulatory Surgical Centers, Others)

Hospitals

Hospitals dominated the end-user landscape with 68% (USD 1.69 billion). High surgical volume, trauma care units, ICUs, and emergency departments account for most airway device utilization.

Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASCs)

ASCs represented 21% (USD 520 million). Demand for quick-turnover anesthesia procedures and outpatient surgeries is rapidly increasing airway device procurement in these settings.
