A tracheostomy is a surgically created
passageway through the front of the neck and into the trachea
(windpipe). A tube is inserted through the hole and enable the patient
breathing. This allows air to go to lungs, avoiding nose, mouth and
throat and remove the secretions from the lungs. In rare cases,
tracheostomy is permanent but the hole should be blocked when
tracheostomy is no longer needed. This surgical procedure has several
complications such as bleeding, permanent damage in vocal cord, and
infections etc.
The global tracheostomy products market
is driven by growing number of geriatric bed-ridden population, rise in
the number of long-term ventilation care, increasing number of
abnormalities such as chronic lung diseases, neck cancer, vocal cord
paralysis etc. Moreover, technological advancement for the diagnosis and
treatment, growing healthcare infrastructure in the many developing
countries, and availability of skilled surgeons are also deriving the
market growth. This market is likely to face challenges from high
tracheostomy products costs, several health complications associated to
tracheostomy such as bleeding, infection and other issues such as
narrowing of trachea, damage/displacement of the tube, infection at the
cut, abnormal tissue formation in the trachea etc. Rise in the demand
for tracheostomy products in home-care services, new product
development, and conglomerations among the key vendors are expected as
significant opportunities for the same market to grow.
Tracheostomy is performed for the
patients with long-term care of ventilation, neck cancer, chronic lung
diseases, vocal cord paralysis, neck injuries etc. By application type,
the global tracheostomy market is segmented into long-term ventilation
care, neck cancer, chronic lung disease, vocal cord paralysis, birth
defects of the air passage and others.
By product type, the global market for
tracheostomy is segmented into tracheostomy tubes, cannula, tracheostomy
ventilation accessories and others. The tracheostomy tubes can be
segmented into adult tracheostomy tube and pediatric tracheostomy tube.
The cannula segment is further classified into disposable and reusable
cannula whereas the others segment is further categorized into
tracheostomy plugs and caps, speaking valves, anti-disconnect devices,
tracheostomy tube holders etc. By material type, the global tracheostomy
products market is segmented into PVC (polyvinyl chloride), silicone
and others. The advantages of using PVC in tracheostomy products are
safety, biocompatibility, and easy to sterilize whereas silicone
material is mainly used in tracheostomy products for its remarkable
durability.
By end-users, the tracheostomy products
market is further segmented into hospitals, independent clinics,
ambulatory surgical centers and others (for example home care). Among
four segments, the hospitals segment is expected to claim the highest
market share because of the presence of skilled professionals,
availability of several types of tracheostomy products, and strong
surgical infrastructure. The market share of others segment such as
homecare segments is likely to rise in future due to the rise in
tracheostomy products in households.
Geographically, the global tracheostomy
products market is segmented into five regions such as North America,
Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa and Latin America. The
North America market is expected to witness the largest market share due
to the rise in the bed ridden geriatric population, high diagnosis
rate, high surgery rate, medical reimbursement etc. Likewise, the Europe
region is likely to experience a significant market share and will grow
by a moderate growth rate during the forecast period. The Asia Pacific
tracheostomy products market will increase by a significant growth rate
in the future, owning to low costs of the tracheostomy products and
quick adoptions of those products. The sluggish growth is anticipated
for the Latin America and Middle East and Africa regions due to rise in
the adoption of tracheostomy products, and increasing number of imports
of the tracheostomy products from other regions.
Prominent players are Medtronic, Cook
Medical, Smiths Medical, Teleflex, Fisher and Paykel Healthcare and
others. The West China Hospital submitted an application for utility
patent for tracheostomy tube in July, 2015. Smiths Medical launched a
silicone made tracheostomy tube in January, 2014.
