Market Segmentation

This report extensively covers market segmentation by product (single-use and reusable laryngeal masks), end-user (hospitals, clinics, and ambulatory surgical centers), and geography (North America, Europe, Asia, and Rest of World (ROW)). It also includes an in-depth analysis of drivers, trends, and challenges. Furthermore, the report includes historic market data from 2017 to 2021.

By Product

The market share growth by the single-use laryngeal masks segment will be significant during the forecast period. The single-use products are sterile and disposable and provide respiration without intubation of the trachea. In addition, they seal the larynx to ensure safe respiration. The single-use products are made from materials such as silicone, polypropylene, and polycarbonate. The advantages of single-use products are that these devices are soft, inflatable, disposable plastic devices that go directly inside the mouth to the deep throat and do not enter the windpipe like ETTs.

The single-use products were valued at USD 99.06 million in 2017 and continue to grow by 2021. The single-use products are preferred over reusable products by patients and healthcare professionals to avoid the high risk of infection and cross-contamination. Moreover, single-use products eliminate the cost of sterilization for end-users like hospitals and clinics. Though single-use products have various advantages, they can create problems associated with ventilation if there is high airway pressure. Also, they provide non-definitive airway protection and patency. These factors will facilitate market growth during the forecast period.

Key Market Driver

The surge in surgeries and emergency cases serves as the primary catalyst propelling the global market forward. With the escalating prevalence of chronic ailments like cancer, cardiovascular disorders, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hospital visits for therapeutic interventions are on the rise. These conditions often necessitate surgical interventions as part of their treatment regimen, driving the demand for anesthesia delivery during procedures. Additionally, the increasing prevalence of heart and lung transplants further contributes to the uptick in surgical procedures globally. Laryngeal masks play a vital role in facilitating anesthesia delivery during surgeries, making them indispensable in operating rooms worldwide. Consequently, the escalating demand for the products is expected to parallel the growing number of surgeries and emergency cases, driving market expansion.

Significant Market Trend

Focus on improvements in materials used, design, and customization of the masks is the primary trend in the global market growth. The vendor focuses on innovative masks with a lightweight interface, multiple styles, colors, and sizes, increased comfort and efficiency, and advanced design. In addition, the supplier invests heavily in the research and development of technologically advanced products. Modified versions of traditional products are also commercially available for use during difficult laryngoscope intubations.

The ProSeal laryngeal mask is an improved version of the traditional laryngeal mask. The intubating laryngeal mask is also a modified version of the classic laryngeal mask, with the upper part of the tube being removed and the remaining tube having a metallic core. It is designed to overcome unexpected difficult laryngoscopic intubation. The C-Trach laryngeal mask is intended for use in a difficult airway. These improvements in the designs of laryngeal masks will drive the market during the forecast period.

Major Market Challenge

Intense competition among vendors leading to price reductions is a major challenge to the global market growth. They have several limitations and drawbacks that may limit the market growth to some extent. For example, the inability to isolate the trachea from the esophagus, the risk of aspiration, and the limitation of positive airway pressure due to poor sealing are major drawbacks. They are considered an alternative to ETT.

However, the use of laryngeal masks is not recommended for emergency surgeries where the patient has not fasted, lengthy surgeries, airway surgery, and laparoscopic surgery, where ventilation must be controlled. Moreover, potential complications associated with laryngeal masks include improper fitting or sealing that leads to inadequate delivery of oxygen. In such cases, they must be replaced with ETTs. Therefore, potential complications and limitations can affect their acceptance among end-users and decrease their sales.
