Breathing circuits are used to supply
oxygen and anesthetic gases and remove carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide
can be eliminated by either washout with adequate fresh gas flow (FGF)
or by soda lime absorption. Anesthetic gas exits the anesthesia machine
(via the common gas outlet) and then enters a breathing circuit. The
purpose of the circuit is to supply oxygen and anesthetic gases to
patients and to eliminate carbon dioxide. Breathing circuit devices are
equipped with unidirectional valves. Moreover, adoption of breathing
circuits is expected to increase globally as they increase absorption of
carbon dioxide.
In terms of region, the global breathing
circuit market can be classified into North America, Europe, Asia
Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. North America was a
significant region of the global breathing circuit market in 2017, and
this trend is expected to continue during the forecast period. The
dominance of North America is attributable to technological
advancements, new product launches, increasing prevalence of respiratory
diseases, and increasing government initiatives. According to the
Journal of the American Medical Association, between 1980 and 2014, the
rate of death from chronic respiratory diseases, such as COPD, increased
by nearly 30% overall in the U.S. In 2015, 6.7% of all deaths were due
to chronic respiratory diseases, which were the fifth leading cause of
death in the U.S. Europe was also a significant region of the breathing
circuit market in 2017, due to the presence of a large number of people
suffering from asthma and other diseases and increasing demand for
advanced products. According to Asthma UK, 5.4 million people in the UK
are currently receiving treatment for asthma: 1.1 million children (1 in
11) and 4.3 million adults (1 in 12). Increasing awareness about
behavioral/mental health, aging population, and rise in health care
expenditure are some of the factors projected to boost the breathing
circuit market in Asia Pacific during the forecast period. According to
the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the
Pacific (UNESCAP), 1 in 4 people in the Asia Pacific region will be 60
years old or older by 2050. The region is experiencing population ageing
at an unprecedented pace, with the number of older persons expected to
more than double from 535 million in 2015 to about 1.3 billion by 2050.
