Laryngeal Masks Market Size, Share, Industry, Forecast and Outlook (2024-2031)

Global Laryngeal Masks Market is Segmented By Type (Reusable, Disposable), By Age Group (Childrens, Adult, Geriatric), By End User (Hospitals, Clinics, Ambulatory Surgical Centers, Others), and By Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa) – Share, Size, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2023-2030.

Laryngeal Masks Market Overview

Global Laryngeal Masks Market is expected to reach at a high CAGR during the forecast period 2023-2030.

The laryngeal masks offer a great alternative to endotracheal intubation in pre-fasted, selected patients and may be associated with fewer complications as compared to intubation in selected patients. Despite this, significant complications result from the utilization of an LMA including laryngospasm, nausea, vomiting, aspiration, and coughing. 

They may stimulate the gag reflex, and, therefore, should not be used in a conscious or awake patient. Contraindications to elective use include poor pulmonary compliance, high airway resistance, pharyngeal pathology, risk for aspiration, and/or airway obstruction below the larynx.

Furthermore, the global laryngeal masks market is driven by various factors like, rise in prevalence of chronic disorders, an increasing geriatric population, a large patient population, and a growing number of various surgical procedures as surgical equipment are widely used in gynaecology, abdominal surgeries, and cardiothoracic among others.

Laryngeal Masks Market Dynamics

Rise in the Prevalence of Respiratory Diseases

Increased prevalence of respiratory disease is one the key driver that helps the market to grow during the forecast period. Since rising in respiratory diseases, the use of laryngeal masks is often used which is required during the ventilation which indeed will increase the market growth.

For instance, according to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention  COPD affects an estimated 200 Billion people, with 3.2 Billion dying each year, making it the third-leading cause of mortality globally.

Asthma is one of the most common noncommunicable illnesses, impacting 262 Billion people worldwide. With almost 2.2 Billion new instances of lung cancer expected in 2022 and 1.80 Billion fatalities, lung cancer accounts for one in every four cancer deaths worldwide. Lower respiratory tract infection or pneumonia is a prominent cause of death, accounting for more than 2.4 Billion fatalities each year, primarily in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). COVID-19 has significantly increased pneumonia fatalities worldwide. 

Rise in the Innovations in the Market

The vendor specialised in cutting-edge anaesthetic laryngeal masks with a lightweight interface, a variety of designs, colours, and sizes, greater comfort and efficiency, and sophisticated design. Furthermore, the provider makes significant investments in the research and development of technologically sophisticated anaesthesia laryngeal masks. Commercially accessible are modified versions of classic laryngeal masks for use during difficult laryngoscope intubations.

One of the advancements was the LMA CTrach (The Laryngeal Mask Company, Singapore) has integrated fibreoptic channels and a detachable viewer for viewing the larynx. It functions as an intubation conduit while minimising cervical spine movements. The laryngeal tube can be blindly inserted into the oropharynx and is useful in emergencies. An ETT can be railroaded via its ventilation port through an airway exchange catheter mounted on a fibreoptic scope. 

Adverse Effects Associated with Laryngeal Masks

Some laryngeal masks have challenges that will impede market expansion throughout the projection period. Complications can develop, such as the distal tip of the collar on the LMA periodically rolling upwards during insertion, preventing ideal placement. To avoid this issue, some experts propose partially inflating the cuff before placing it or putting the LMA upside-down and rotating it into position, however, there is inadequate data to support this practice. 

Forceful insertion may result in pharyngeal tissue injury or haemorrhage. Stomach insufflation is possible. It is unknown to what extent an LMA would prevent stomach aspiration, and it should be regarded as a temporary or rescue intervention in patients at risk of vomiting and aspiration, rather than a replacement for endotracheal intubation. Maintaining a successful seal in individuals with high airway pressures may be problematic. 

Laryngeal Masks Market Segmentation Analysis

The global laryngeal masks market is segmented based on type, age group, end user and region.

The Disposable Laryngeal Masks Segment From The Type Segment Accounted for Approximately 42.5% of the Laryngeal Masks  Share

The disposable laryngeal masks segment from the type segment with around 42.5% is expected to dominate during the forecast period. The major factors driving the disposable segment growth include offering a comfortable airway to patients while eliminating the risk of disease transmission. Moreover, these masks have a comparatively stable intracuff pressure during nitrous oxide anaesthesia. Such factors augment segment growth. Moreover, the rising adoption of these masks is also one factor contributing to the growth.

For instance, in January 2021, Teleflex Corporation launched a single-use LMA Gastro Airway with Cuff Pilot technology. This laryngeal mask facilitates esophageal access and promotes airway control during endoscopic procedures in adults. Thus, owing to the rising number of surgical procedures and technological advancements, it is expected to drive market growth over the forecast period. 

Global Laryngeal Masks Market Geographical Share

North America Accounted for Approximately 38.4% of the Market Share in 2022 

North America is estimated to hold about 38.4% of the total market share throughout the forecast period due to the standard regulatory mandates and implementation of practice guidelines released by the healthcare organizations in this region. Moreover, the increasing adoption of anesthesia during surgeries is driving product demand, presence of well-established healthcare infrastructure along with the rising prevalence of chronic disorders.

Laryngeal Masks Market Companies

The major global players in the laryngeal masks include Ambu A/S, Teleflex Incorporated, Intersurgical Ltd, Medline Industries, Inc., Legend Medical Devices, Inc., Besmed, VOGT MEDICAL, Dynarex, Narang Medical, Anandic Medical Systems and among others.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The COVID-19 pandemic is caused by a coronavirus, which is typically spread by droplets, aerosol, or direct touch because of their frequent engagement in aerosol-generating airway treatments, anaesthetists are at a higher risk of infection. As a result, the usage of laryngeal masks has been delayed during the epidemic. As a result of the coronavirus pandemic, many anaesthetic recommendations have arisen; core management concepts include safeguarding healthcare personnel and minimising aerosol pollution.

Russia Ukraine Conflict Analysis

The Russia-Ukraine conflict is estimated to have a moderate impact on global laryngeal masks, owing to the low prevalence and absence of key market players in this region. however, the impact of the import and export of devices is expected to have little influence over the global laryngeal masks market over the forecast period.
