Global Anesthesia Video Laryngoscope Market Is Anticipated To Witness High Growth Owing To Increasing Technologically Advanced Medical Devices And Growing Awareness Healthcare Professionals

 

Anesthesia Video Laryngoscope Market

Overview:

Video laryngoscopes enable direct visualization of the glottis through a video screen. This allows the operator to quickly and easily identify the epiglottic vallecula in patients with difficult airway characteristics, such as high-pitched voice or tongue displacement, while also avoiding unnecessary intubation attempts that may increase risk of injury. Difficult airway management is a common challenge among trained anesthesiologists. Difficulty in ventilation during general anesthesia, especially with face mask or tracheal intubation, may cause serious complications such as respiratory failure and death. Therefore, awareness of alternative devices for securing the airway is important.

Market Dynamics:

Increasing product approvals are estimated to augment growth of the global anesthesia video laryngoscope market over the forecast period. For instance, Ambu gained U.S. FDA clearance in May 2021, for VivaSight 2 DLT. This resulted in commercialization of the product and also extension of their single-use pulmonology lineup. Moreover, easy availability of alternative devices and high cost are anticipated to restrain growth of the global anesthesia video laryngoscope market over the forecast period.

Impact of COVID-19:

The pandemic was first recognized in 2019 in China and in 2020 the World Health Organization declared it as a public health emergency. The number of COVID-19 patients were increasing rapidly and this led to imposition of strict restrictive measures by many governments. There was an increased demand for anesthesia video laryngoscopes for providing ETI to patients in the nonoperating rooms. This was due to increasing incidences of COVID-19. This helped in avoiding direct contact of healthcare professionals from patients and thus decreasing the risk of transmission. This led to increase in demand for anesthesia video laryngoscopes. Thus, during the pandemic the global anesthesia video laryngoscope market witnessed robust growth.

Key Takeaways:

The global anesthesia video laryngoscope market is expected to witness high growth, exhibiting CAGR of 6.8 % over the forecast period, due to increasing collaborations among major players. For instance, GE Healthcare and Medtronic collaborated in April 2022, for focusing on the unique needs for care at Ambulatory Surgical Centers.

North America is anticipated to witness significant growth in the global anesthesia video laryngoscope market over the forecast period, owing to growing presence of healthcare organizations and increasing awareness regarding advanced products.

Major players operating in the global anesthesia video laryngoscope market are Medtronic Plc, Shenzhen Besdata Technology Co., Ltd., KARL STORZ SE & Co. KG, Vyaire Medical, Inc., Verathon Inc., Prodol Meditec, S.A., Nihon Kohden Corporation, XION GmbH, Ambu A/S,  Teleflex Incorporated, and Intersurgical Ltd.
