The breathing circuits market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market for breathing circuits has seen a significant expansion in recent times. It is projected to surge from a value of $2.13 billion in 2024 to an estimate of $2.30 billion in 2025, exhibiting a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 7.9%.
Factors contributing to the growth during the historic period include escalating incidence of respiratory disorders, an upswing in surgical procedures, increasing elderly population, advancements in anesthesia delivery technology, and a growing trend towards minimally invasive surgeries.
The breathing circuits market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Anticipated robust expansion in the breathing circuits market is forecasted over the upcoming years with a growth rate reaching $3.08 billion in 2029, and compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%.
This predicted upsurge within the forecast duration can be linked to the progression of disposable medical instruments, escalated focus on controlling infections, surging adoption of home healthcare provisions, increasing requirement for portable ventilators, and the growth of healthcare infrastructure within emerging markets. Notable trends within the prognosis period consist of the incorporation of smart sensors, creation of environmentally friendly materials, progress in 3D printing, the inclination towards wireless monitoring systems, and improved compatibility with AI-integrated ventilators.
The escalating incidence of ailments affecting the respiratory system is foreseen to drive the expansion of the breathing circuits market. Respiratory diseases encompass a variety of conditions that impact the lungs and other areas of the respiratory system, hindering the capacity to breathe efficiently. This surge in respiratory diseases primarily stems from increasing levels of air pollution, smoking, indoor air pollution, and work-related hazards. Breathing circuits provide a solution to manage these diseases by delivering a regulated supply of air or oxygen to patients. This assists in ensuring proper respiration and providing necessary treatments, such as ventilation or anesthesia to those with compromised lung function. For instance, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a US-based governmental organization, reported in April 2024 that the proportion of adults currently affected by asthma rose from 8.0% in 2021 to 8.9% in 2023. Consequently, the rising incidence of respiratory diseases is stimulating the expansion of the breathing circuits market.

In an effort to boost patient care and treatment results, key market players are investing in the creation of cutting-edge technologies like heated breathing circuit technology. This technology system warms and moistens the air or gas delivered to patients, reducing dryness in the airway and increasing comfort during mechanical ventilation or oxygen therapy. For example, Armstrong Medical Industries Inc., a United Kingdom-based manufacturer of novel medical devices and equipment, rolled out its newest heated breathing circuit technology, AquaVENT VT, in January 2022. The technology, which is aimed at controlling humidity within the ventilator circuit, boasts features like a heated, vapor-permeable expiratory limb, BioCote antimicrobial protection, a heated inspiratory limb, and an autofill, heated, humidified chamber. These attributes collectively enhance respiratory assistance, minimize the possibility of infections, and enable medical practitioners to devote more time and attention to patient care.
