Abstract

Market Overview:

The global oxygenators market size reached US$ 244.2 Million in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 348.4 Million by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9% during 2023-2028.

An oxygenator refers to a medical device that is routinely used in medical settings to help exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide from the patient's blood during surgical procedures. The device is used in conjunction with a heart-lung machine to facilitate gas exchange during procedures in which the blood flow is interrupted or stopped. These devices are widely used to manage heart-related disorders, such as cardiopulmonary, respiratory, and pulmonary disorders. As a result, these devices are commonly used in numerous critical surgical procedures, including cardiopulmonary bypass grafts (CABG) and coronary artery bypass grafts (CABG).

Oxygenators Market Trends:

The global market is primarily driven by the growing number of hospital admissions due to the rising prevalence of numerous coronary, orthopedic and cardiovascular diseases among the masses. This can be attributed to the sedentary lifestyles led by individuals, resulting in various lifestyle-related ailments and a considerable rise in the requirement for surgical interventions. Additionally, the growing geriatric population that is susceptible to developing these diseases is also acting as a significant growth factor in the market. Additionally, the rising government investments in healthcare digitization, advanced infrastructure setup, and continual product innovations are fueling the market. As a result of improved healthcare settings, there has been a significant increase in the demand and sales for oxygenator devices across healthcare facilities on the global level. Some of the other factors contributing to the market include the increasing mergers and acquisitions (M&As) between key players, the augmenting cases of severe COVID-19 across the globe, various favorable healthcare reimbursement initiatives, and extensive research and development (R&D) activities conducted by multiple major players to introduce advanced medical devices in the market.
