Respiratory care devices are those medical instruments that are used for the diagnosis, monitoring, and care of patients who are suffering from various respiratory diseases. Major devices such as oxygen concentrator, ventilators, inhalers, nebulizers, spirometers, positive airway pressure (PAP) are primarily used for respiratory disease’s diagnostic, therapeutic, and monitoring. Introduction of innovative product launches and high adoption of cutting edge technology and integration of digital and sensor based technologies for creating a smart, portfolio, and connected respiratory care devices will further aid the growth of the market.

The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing prevalence of infectious respiratory diseases, rapidly increasing cases of asthma and COPD, rising number of product launches and approvals, and growing R & D investment for respiratory care devices. However, cutthroat competition among market players and unfavorable reimbursement scenarios hampers the respiratory care devices market growth.Infectious respiratory diseases are creating a rising burden on the healthcare system worldwide. Infectious respiratory disease can be induced due to several factors associated with immune deficiency. Most infectious respiratory diseases are spread from person to person through mucus and saliva and are caused by microorganisms that can infect the respiratory system. The severity of contagious respiratory diseases ranges from mild to severe. Infectious respiratory diseases consist of an exhaustive list of diseases, such as tuberculosis (TB), COVID-19, influenza, diphtheria, measles, pneumonia, pertussis, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), etc.

Among the above-mentioned infectious respiratory diseases, TB was on the top of the list for high prevalence before the COVID-19 pandemic.
