• Based on end user, the Middle East & Africa positive airway pressure (PAP) devices market is segmented into hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, home care, and rehabilitation centers. The hospitals held the largest share of the market in 2023.

Middle East & Africa Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) Devices Market Outlook

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). As per WHO, COPD is the fourth leading cause of death globally, responsible for 3.5 million deaths in 2021, which accounts for approximately 5% of all deaths worldwide. Nearly 90% of COPD-related deaths in individuals under 70 years of age occur in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). Additionally, COPD ranks as the eighth leading cause of poor health worldwide, as measured by disability-adjusted life years. In high-income countries, tobacco smoking is attributed to over 70% of COPD cases. In contrast, in LMIC, tobacco smoking accounts for 30-40% of COPD cases, with household air pollution being a significant risk factor as well.  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.

Middle East & Africa Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) Devices Market Country Insights

Based on country, the Middle East & Africa positive airway pressure (PAP) devices market comprises Saudi Arabia, South Africa, the UAE, and the Rest of Middle East & Africa. Saudi Arabia held the largest share in 2023.

The growing prevalence of sleep apnea among the population of Saudi Arabia is a predominant factor driving the PAP devices market. For instance, as per the "Rights and Wellbeing of Older Persons in Saudi Arabia" report, the number of people aged 60 or more is predicted to increase five-fold during 2020–2050, i.e., from 2 million (5.9% of the total population) to 10.5 million (23.7% of the population). Also, the number of people aged 80 and above is expected to reach 1.6 million, i.e., 4% of the total population by 2050. As sleep apnea aggravates with aging, the elderly population is likely to accelerate the demand for PAP devices in the coming years.

Further, market players are adopting organic and inorganic growth strategies for market development, which support the market growth in Saudi Arabia. For instance, in March 2022, Avon Protection demonstrated its respiratory and head protection portfolio, including its MP-PAPR, FM50 respirator, and the F90 helmet, at the first World Defense Show in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
