Plethysmograph Market Statistics, Trends Forecast

Global Plethysmograph Market Size, Forecast, and Trend Highlights Over 2023 - 2035

Plethysmograph Market size is estimated to reach ~USD 160 Million by the end of 2035 by growing at a CAGR of ~5% over the forecast period, i.e., 2023 – 2035. In addition to this, in the year 2022, the market size of plethysmograph was ~USD 98 Million. The growth of the market can be attributed to the increasing prevalence of chronic respiratory diseases, such as asthma and COPD, as well as the growing demand for accurate diagnosis of respiratory diseases. As of 2019, chronic respiratory diseases accounted for 534,242 deaths in North America, with 50% of deaths occurring in men and 50% in women. The mortality rate among men (42.2 deaths per 100,000) was higher than the mortality rate among women (31.0 deaths per 100,000). Plethysmographs are used to measure the volume of air in the lungs, as well as the amount of oxygen that is inhaled and exhaled. As the prevalence of respiratory diseases increases, the need for more accurate and reliable measurement of air volume and oxygen levels also increases, driving up the market growth.

In addition to these, factors that are believed to fuel the market growth of plethysmographs include growing awareness about health and well-being, increasing prevalence of lifestyle diseases, rising demand for non-invasive and painless diagnostic procedures, Moreover, technological advances in medical devices enable the development of next-generation plethysmographs, which is projected to drive market growth in coming years. For instance, COSMED's Q-Box is an advanced body box designed to accurately measure thoracic gas volume, including static lung volume (TLC, RV, and ITGV) and airway resistance and conductance (RAW and GAW) using complete body plethysmography.

Global Plethysmograph Market: Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Drivers

Rising Popularity of Remote Monitoring Among Patients - According to a survey conducted in 2020, 22 million U.S. patients used remote patient monitoring tools and services. It is expected that 29 million U.S. patients will have access to remote patient monitoring devices and tools by 2024. Remote monitoring allows patients to track their health from the comfort of their homes, using devices such as plethysmographs, which measure blood oxygen levels and respiration rates. This eliminates the need for frequent hospital visits, increasing convenience for the patient and reducing healthcare costs for the provider.
Continuous Improvement in Healthcare Technology - For instance, wearable photoplethysmography sensors are the latest technological advancements in plethysmographs. This technology has enabled the development of more accurate and reliable devices for measuring human vital signs, such as heart rate and respiration. These devices can be used for medical diagnostics, research, and monitoring of health and fitness.
Increasing Number of Geriatrics Worldwide - As people age, they are more prone to suffer from respiratory illnesses such as asthma, COPD, and other chronic conditions. Plethysmographs are used to measure the volume of air in and out of the lungs, which helps diagnose these conditions. For instance, In accordance with the World Ageing Report 2019, it is expected that the number of people aged 65 and over will reach 83.813 million by 2050, up from 53.340 million in 2019. With the growing global geriatric population, the demand for plethysmographs is expected to rise.
Rise in the Number of Tobacco Smoking - According to the World Health Organization, tobacco is responsible for the death of more than 8 million individuals annually. Approximately 22.3% of the world's population smoked in 2020, along with 36.7% of men and 7.8% of women. As more people take up smoking, there is an increasing need for accurate and reliable medical diagnostic devices to monitor respiratory health. Plethysmographs measure changes in the volume of a body part, usually the lungs, and are used to detect abnormalities in lung function.
Rising Prevalence of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) - COPD is a serious lung condition characterized by difficulty breathing. As COPD becomes more common, diagnostics and treatments are needed. According to statistics released by the World Health Organization, COPD ranks third in mortality worldwide, causing 3.23 million deaths in the year 2019. This has contributed to an increased demand for plethysmographs, which are devices used to diagnose and monitor COPD.

Challenges

High cost of plethysmographs and their associated accessories - The high cost of plethysmographs and their associated accessories is due to the expensive components used in the plethysmograph system, such as pressure transducers and amplifiers, which increase the overall cost of the system. Additionally, the cost of calibration and maintenance of the plethysmograph system can also be expensive and is a major factor hindering market expansion.
Unawareness regarding the use of plethysmographs in remote areas
Lack of trained professionals to operate the equipment

Global Plethysmograph Market Segmentation

The global plethysmograph market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by end use into hospitals, clinics, and others. Out of these, the hospital segment is estimated to gain the largest market share of about ~45% in the year 2035. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the rising number of hospital-based procedures, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, and technological advancements in plethysmograph devices are some of the factors driving the growth of the hospital segment. Additionally, government initiatives to promote the use of medical devices in healthcare facilities is further augmenting the market growth. For instance, the Government of India has initiated a program known as the National Health Mission, which is designed to provide free diagnostic services in hospitals with the help of noninvasive and low-cost tools to improve patients’ clinical outcomes.

The global market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by type into body plethysmograph, limb plethysmograph, and others. Out of these, the limb plethysmograph segment is estimated to gain a significant market share of about ~38% in the year 2035. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the increasing prevalence of chronic illnesses such as hypertension and diabetes, which require frequent monitoring of limb volume. The limb plethysmograph is a non-invasive device that can measure the amount of blood flow in the limbs, which is important for monitoring hypertension and diabetes. Additionally, advancements in technology have made plethysmographs more accurate and user-friendly, and market players are launching products with these features, which is boosting the demand for plethysmographs.

Global Plethysmograph Market Regional Synopsis

The market share of plethysmograph in North America, amongst the market in all the other regions, is projected to be the largest with a share of about ~35% by the end of 2035. The growth of the market can be attributed majorly to the increasing awareness of the importance of preventive healthcare, and rising incidences of lung diseases such as asthma. According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, in the U.S., nearly 26 million people suffer from asthma and nearly 21 million Americans ages 18 and older suffer from asthma. In 2020, approximately 52.9% of children under the age of 5 suffering from asthma had an asthma attack. Asthma is a chronic lung disease that causes breathing difficulties and wheezing. The use of a plethysmograph allows doctors to measure the amount of air that a person can breathe in and out, which is helpful in diagnosing and monitoring asthma. In addition, advancements in connected healthcare technologies and the growing adoption of digital health solutions along with increasing demand for remote patient monitoring among regional populations are also driving the growth of the market in North America.

The Asia Pacific plethysmograph market is estimated to be the second largest, registering a share of about ~27% by the end of 2035.
