Market Trends of UAE Respiratory Devices Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the UAE Respiratory Devices Market according to our research experts:
Nebulizer by Therapeutics Devices Segment is Estimated to Witness a Healthy Growth Over the Forecast Period
A nebulizer is a drug delivery device used to provide medicines in the form of a mist that is inhaled into the lungs. Nebulizers are often used to treat asthma, cystic fibrosis, COPD, and other respiratory diseases or disorders. The fundamental advantage of nebulized medications is that they are delivered directly to the respiratory tract, allowing for larger drug concentrations in the bronchial tree and pulmonary bed with fewer side effects than the systemic approach. The segment is driven by the rising prevalence of respiratory diseases in the country.
According to the study published in Translational Medicine Communication in November 2021, autologous peripheral blood non-hematopoietic enhanced stem cell cocktail (PB-NHESC-C) was supplied as a supplement to standard care therapy through compressor (jet) nebulization. Thus, nebulization of PB-NHESC-C was found to be both safe and efficacious in the majority of these individuals. As a result, the effectiveness of nebulizers in delivering therapy, as well as the benefit of the nebulizer, are expected to drive segment growth. Thus, all the aforementioned factors are expected to boost segment growth over the forecast period.
Spirometer by Diagnostics and Monitoring Devices Segment is Expected to Hold Significant Market Share During the Forecast Period
A spirometer is an apparatus for measuring the volume of air inspired and expired by the lungs. A spirometer measures ventilation, the movement of air into and out of the lungs. The spirogram will identify two different types of abnormal ventilation patterns: obstructive and restrictive. The segment is growing due to the rising prevalence of various chronic respiratory diseases and technological advancements in the spirometer. In addition, the growing geriatric population, which is more prevalent for respiratory diseases, is expected to boost the demand for spirometer devices over the forecast period.
It aids in the maintenance of lung strength or the recovery of the lungs following an injury or disease. An incentive spirometer can help improve lung ventilation after surgery. Ventilation is the amount of air that enters the lungs when we breathe in and the amount of air that departs the lungs when we breathe out. Due to the above benefits offered by the spirometer, the demand for spirometer devices is expected to increase over the forecast period.
According to the study published in the Annals of Thoracic Surgery in May 2022, despite breakthroughs in therapy, 5-year survival rates for lung cancer, regardless of stage or type, remain low, ranging from 10% to 20%. Lung cancer was discovered to be the seventh-most frequent cancer in the UAE, with a prevalence of 2.9 per 100,000 people (UAE). Thus, with the growing burden of respiratory diseases in the country, the demand for spirometers is expected to increase over the forecast period.
