Global Airway Clearance System Market – Industry Trends and Forecast to 2029

 Airway Clearance System Market Analysis and Size

Airway clearance systems are used to loosen mucus in patients with respiratory disorders such as asthma, COPD, and cystic fibrosis. Airway clearance techniques are used to loosen thick, sticky mucus so that it can be coughed out of the lungs. Clearing the airways may aid in the prevention of lung infections and the improvement of lung function. Airway clearance systems are devices that assist in the removal of obstructions from the airways. Cystic fibrosis, chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis, and immotile cilia syndrome are all conditions that can be treated with these systems. The market is driven by rising adoption of airway clearance systems for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis, and chronic bronchitis.

Data Bridge Market Research analyses that the airway clearance system market which was USD 556.01 million in 2021, is expected to reach USD 785.27 million by 2029, at a CAGR of 4.41% during the forecast period 2022 to 2029. In addition to the insights on market scenarios such as market value, growth rate, segmentation, geographical coverage, and major players, the market reports curated by the Data Bridge Market Research also include depth expert analysis, patient epidemiology, pipeline analysis, pricing analysis, and regulatory framework.

Airway Clearance System Market Scope and Segmentation  

Market Definition

The term airway clearance techniques (ACTs) refers to a number of different strategies for removing excess secretions. Their goal is to prevent respiratory tract infections by reducing airway obstruction caused by secretions occupying the airway lumen, re-expanding collapsed lung areas, improving gas exchanges, and decreasing the inflammatory response.

Global Airway Clearance System Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Rising patient awareness

Rising patient awareness for creating a common platform for COPD patients drives the market growth during the forecast period. For instance, November is designated National COPD Awareness Month worldwide. Throughout the month, the COPD Foundation collaborates with various respiratory healthcare organizations to host various in-person and online activities for COPD community members to increase awareness. These are the factors that propels the market growth.

• Rise in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

According to a 2019 World Health Organization (WHO) report, COPD is the third leading cause of death worldwide. Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder that affects many organs, most notably the lungs. It is estimated that the frequency of heterozygotes in white people is one in every twenty. The Cystic Fibrosis Trust reported a significant increase in the CF patient registry in the United Kingdom alone, from 10,338 in 2012 to 10,509 in 2018. This drives to an increase in the use of airway clearance systems.

Opportunities

• Rising product upgrades

Rising product upgrades by major medical device companies are expected to propel the market at an unprecedented rate during the forecast period. Microsoft, Great Ormond Street Hospital, and University College London worked together to create Project Fizzyo, which aims to make cystic fibrosis treatment more enjoyable for children. Using cutting-edge technology, this project makes treatment more fun.

Restraints/Challenges

• Lack of evidence-based data

The lack of evidence-based data on device effectiveness is a major factor that is expected to hamper the airway clearance system market growth during the forecast period. In addition, the adoption of alternative drug treatment and product recall are acting as market restraints for the growth of the airway clearance system during the forecast period.
