Growing Prevalence of Respiratory Diseases Fuels North America Ventilators Market
Respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, acute lower respiratory tract infections, tuberculosis, and lung cancer are among the most common causes of severe illness and death across North America. Urbanization, rise in pollution, unhealthy lifestyle habits, and high tobacco smoking prevalence are a few of the major factors leading to the surge in the number of respiratory and cardiovascular disease cases. Such disease can cause acute respiratory failure, and its treatment requires mechanical ventilation. As per the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, ~14.8 million adults in the US were diagnosed with COPD in 2020. Also, according to the estimates by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), ~24.8 million people in the US were suffering from asthma in 2018. Moreover, in 2017, people suffering from asthma recorded ~1.6 million emergency department (ED) visits and 183,000 hospitalizations in the country. In addition, a ventilator assists the patient suffering from respiratory diseases and other breathing conditions, as these disorders make breathing difficult or impossible. Thus, the growing prevalence of respiratory diseases is increasing the demand for ventilators, which is fueling the North America ventilators market growth.
