Market Dynamics and Customer Landscape

The market is pivotal in anesthesia delivery systems, ensuring controlled anesthesia during surgeries. These systems manage the flow of gases, transitioning from manual to electronic control for automated handling. Nitrous oxide and other anesthesia gases are precisely mixed using gas blending systems and electronic gas mixing, supported by anesthetic devices and sources. The blenders integrate seamlessly with breathing, ventilating, and gas exhaust systems, enhancing patient safety. Advanced features like respiratory and gas monitoring, along with electronic anesthetic gas evaporators, enable precise delivery. Self-inspection capabilities further ensure the reliability and compliance of these critical medical devices. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. 

Key Market Drivers

The increasing popularity of respiratory gas blenders is driving growth in the market. A respiratory gas blender is a device designed to combine pure oxygen with medical air and allow the delivery of specific volumes of air. They are used in NICU, ERs, and operating rooms (ORs) and during computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. They are equipped with an on/off knob to control bleed flow. They also have high-flow and low-flow capabilities.

Moreover, Medical offers Air-Oxygen Blender is unique, durable, versatile, modular, and user-friendly and offers high performance. It controls bleed flow for the user. It's quiet and makes it appropriate for the neonatal intensive care unit. In order to prevent accidental damage to the unit, the durability of the device is important. It can also be used in high-flow and low-flow models. The increasing number of preterm births has increased the popularity which is driving the growth of the global market during the forecast period. 

Significant Market Trends

The increasing use of respiratory gas blenders in NICUs is a key trend in the market. The demand for respiratory gas blenders for use in surgeries and neonates is increasing, especially for apnea due to premature births, as infants cannot breathe properly. After preterm birth, the baby requires more oxygen than what was available in the mother's uterus. If the oxygen intake is low, brain damage could be caused, or the baby may not survive. Hence, these are used to provide oxygen to neonates. 

However, the companies offer reliable novel gas blenders that can mix the gases as indicated without error. Space needed for NICU is reduced by the built-in-flow meters. The on/off knob allows you to turn off low-flow gas bleed without disconnecting connections from the blender. In addition to respiratory use for neonates, these blenders can also be used to deliver other medical gases to treat chronic diseases in infants. Hence, the increasing use of these in NICUs drives the growth of the global market during the forecast period. 

Major Market Challenges

The intense competition between companies and competitive pricing pressures is a major challenge faced by the market.  There is a strong presence of global, regional, and local companies in the global market. Competition in terms of pricing is intense among companies, which has resulted in low-profit margins. The competition is mostly based on design and manufacturing costs. New products and low purchasing power are not widely known to end users in developing countries. They prefer local companies due to better after-sales support, which forces the global company to reduce the cost of their products. 

However, intense competition between global and local companies has led to price wars.  As a result, global suppliers are forced to lower the average selling prices of their products. the company also offers discounts, which increases competition. Hence, the key companies are operating on low-net margins. This intense competition between companies and competitive pricing pressures could affect the growth of the market during the forecast period.
