Sophistication and persistent technological advances by respiratory and anesthesia device manufacturers have boosted the growth of this industry. The shift of patient preference from hospital care devices to home healthcare devices has accelerated the growth of this market and encouraged the provision of easy to use and portable devices that have paved a new way to revive this once mature market. According to the new estimates of World Health Organization, COPD is predicted to be become the third leading cause of death by 2030. Approximately 13.6 million adults were diagnosed with COPD in the U.S. alone in year 2012.

The rise in geriatric population suffering from COPDs and Asthma are further expected to accelerate the growth of the respiratory devices market. In addition, the annual healthcare expenditures for asthma alone are estimated at $20.7 billion in the U.S. Thus, a rise in pulmonary diseases has helped in growth of this market. Moreover, rise in geriatric population has led to rise in the number of surgeries performed in the country. The American Society of Anestheologists (ASA) estimates 40 million anesthetics being administered each year in the U.S. alone. Thus rise in the number of surgeries coupled with rise in incidence of respiratory diseases have boosted the overall growth of this industry.
