Global Respiratory Ventilator Manufacturing industry analysis
Products produced by the Global Respiratory Ventilator Manufacturing industry have long been a staple of the global healthcare sector. Demand for ventilators has historically been stable since they are a life-saving device for patients with limited breathing function. While hospitals do not usually need a significant number of ventilators, the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic caused demand for ventilators to skyrocket in 2020. Patients with severe coronavirus symptoms often need to be ventilated because their lungs become so inflamed that they are unable to provide the body with enough oxygen. While ventilation is not always successful, early in the pandemic, it was the only option that could keep patients alive. As the virus spread, hospitals experienced a drastic shortage of ventilators. However, as the pandemic has passed and the deficit has been met, demand has stabilized. As a result, over the five years to 2023, revenue is expected to grow at an annualized rate of just 0.8% to $3.8 billion, including a 3.3% increase in 2023.In response to the shortage, manufacturers increased their production capacity. The largest companies in the industry, such as Medtronic PLC and Koninklijke Philips NV, more than doubled their production output, while smaller companies partnered with manufacturers outside the industry to produce additional ventilators. General Motors Company, an automobile manufacturer, temporarily converted its manufacturing facilities to produce ventilators. Additionally, many companies decided to forgo profit and sold ventilators at cost in 2020. While the industry has continued to generate profit, the urgency of the pandemic and a temporary influx of establishments has kept prices and profit low since 2020.While the pandemic has passed and most hospitals have fully met their ventilator needs, the industry is expected to grow in the coming years. After being caught unprepared during the COVID pandemic, healthcare providers and governments will likely recognize the importance of a stockpile of emergency equipment. Meanwhile, increased healthcare spending brought on by an aging population will continue to drive growth for all medical devices. Over the five years to 2028, revenue is forecast to grow at an annualized rate of 2.6% to $4.3 billion.
