The market is expected to register a CAGR of 6.7% during 2023–2031. Technological advancements in positive airway pressure devices are likely to bring in new market trends during the forecast period.

Positive Airway Pressure Devices Market Analysis

Positive airway pressure (PAP) devices help keep the airways open while sleeping and result in improved cognitive function and better sleep quality for patients suffering from sleep apnea and respiratory disorders. Innovative PAP devices, such as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) have been introduced in the market to address the growing need to treat patients with respiratory diseases. The demand for these devices is driven by the rising awareness and diagnosis of sleep apnea, especially obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The demand is further fueled by the increasing incidence of respiratory diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). For example, according to the American Lung Association, 11.7 million adults, or 4.6% of the population, had COPD in 2022. According to an article published in the European Respiratory Journal in 2020, 36,580,965 Europeans were reported to have COPD, which is projected to reach 49,453,852 by 2050, representing a 35.2% relative increase. Thus, owing to the benefits offered by PAP devices and the increasing incidences of respiratory diseases, the medical and respiratory care market for PAP devices is witnessing noticeable growth.

Positive Airway Pressure Devices Market Overview

The positive airway pressure devices market is rapidly expanding due to the prevalence of sleep apnea and the growing awareness of its related health effects. Advances such as portable and user-friendly products are driving the demand for positive airway pressure devices. The key players operating in the market are focusing on innovation and collaboration for enhanced product availability. The growing geriatric population and increasing disposable incomes are also fueling the demand for positive airway pressure devices. However, this growth may be challenged by high costs as well as the requirement for continued maintenance. Overall, the positive airway pressure devices market will expand substantially with healthcare trends and the greater needs of patients.

Positive Airway Pressure Devices Market Drivers and Opportunities

Growing Shift Toward Home Healthcare Fuels Market Growth

Patients largely prefer availing treatment in the convenience and comfort of their homes over clinical settings. PAP devices work well in home-care settings to treat sleep apnea and other respiratory disorders, which relieves the burden on healthcare facilities and promotes consistent use of PAP devices. Sleep apnea and many other respiratory disorders require long-term therapy. By providing long-term, at-home solutions, PAP devices promote cost-effectiveness.

The shift toward home healthcare directly drives the sales of PAP devices designed for home use. Thus, manufacturers focus on producing user-friendly, portable, and efficient devices for this expanding market. For example, ResMed manufactured the AirMini Portable CPAP used in home care. It influences the market by pushing innovation, creating the need for home-use devices, and improving access to respiratory care in developed and developing nations. As healthcare systems are increasingly prioritizing home-based treatment options, this inclination is predicted to continue.

Increasing Awareness of Respiratory Diseases to Create Lucrative Opportunities in the Market

More people are seeking medical attention for sleep problems as awareness grows. As a result, disorders such as OSA are being diagnosed more frequently and treated with machines that provide CPAP or BiPAP. Government and medical institutions frequently conduct public awareness campaigns for the risks of untreated sleep apnea leading to diabetes and cardiovascular problems. The need for PAP devices is rising due to the campaigns promoting early detection and treatment. Patients and healthcare professionals are paying more attention as the value of sleep health becomes more widely recognized. The market for PAP devices is growing as more people are taking initiatives to look for ways to enhance the quality of their sleep. For example, the American Lung Association launched a campaign in November 2022 to raise awareness for COPD and the urgent need to enhance early diagnosis, screening, and quality of life for those with the illness. The sales of PAP devices are expected to rise significantly due to increasing awareness of COPD and other respiratory diseases. To encourage people to monitor the quality of sleep, ResMed runs the "Awaken Your Best" campaign. ResMed hopes to raise awareness of sleep treatment and helpful tools for treating sleep disorders through this campaign. The national "More than a Snore" campaign was started in February 2023 to increase awareness of obstructive sleep apnea. This chronic illness causes the upper airway to collapse while sleeping. In 2021, the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offered the American Academy of Sleep Medicine a grant, which was used to fund the collaborative effort. Thus, an increase in awareness of respiratory diseases is likely to create lucrative opportunities in the market.
