The global airway management devices market size is estimated to reach USD 4.26 billion by 2033, registering a CAGR of 6.10% from 2026 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growing prevalence of chronic respiratory diseases is a high impact rendering growth driver for this market. This increasing prevalence is presumed to be driving the clinical urgency to adopt airway management devices in order to improve the existing ventilation solutions and prevent conditions such as laryngospasms as well as reduce the long-term costs associated with the conventional methods.
In addition, the advent of new-generation devices that incorporate a wide array of fiber optic, optical, video, and mechanical technologies to facilitate a better view of and help the management of difficult airways are gaining popularity. For instance, video laryngoscopes, which allow real-time and enhanced visualization, are rapidly becoming the first-line measure in emergency care for efficient difficult airway management in hospitals as well as outpatient settings. The benefits of consistent technological advancements include improved optics, better aspiration capabilities, battery-powered light sources, increased angulation capabilities, and improved reprocessing procedures. The aforementioned benefits are anticipated to present the market with lucrative growth opportunities during the forecast period.
