Medical Cannula Market Size, Share, Industry, Forecast and Outlook (2024-2031)

Global Medical Cannula Market is segmented By Product Type (IV Cannula, Nasal Cannula) By Application (Cardiac, Nasal, Dermatology, Others) By Age Group (Adult, Pediatric) By Material Type (Plastic, Metal, Silicone, Others) By Modality (Neonatal, Straight, Winged, Wing with port, Winged with stop cork) By End User (Hospitals, Ambulatory Surgery Centers, Others) and By Region (North America, Europe, South America, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa) – Share, Size, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2024-2031

Market Overview

Global Medical Cannula Market reached US$ YY million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ YY million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of YY% during the forecast period 2024-2031.

A cannula refers to a small tube that is inserted into a body cavity, duct, or vessel for medical purposes. There are two main types of cannulas: intravenous (IV) cannulas and nasal cannulas. IV cannulas consist of short, flexible tubing that are placed into a vein and are usually used for blood transfusions, blood draws, administration of medication, and providing fluids. 

On the other hand, nasal cannulas are a simple yet effective device for delivering oxygen. They consist of a flexible tube with two protruding tips that sit inside the nostrils to deliver oxygen. They can be useful if the individual is experiencing difficulty breathing as nasal cannulas can decrease the work required to breathe and the strain on the heart,  therefore treating hypoxia or hypoxemia.

Market Dynamics: Drivers & Restraints

Rise in  advancements of cannula

Technological advancements in cannulas, such as needle-stick safety devices, lubrication technology, and multi-hole suction cannulas, have increased demand for disposable cannulas worldwide. High-flow nasal cannulas are expected to be widely used in high-flow oxygen treatment for acute respiratory failures, due to their advantages and increased patient acceptance.

Also, cannulas are currently made from advanced materials that enhance their durability and flexibility. Materials like medical-grade silicone and polyurethane are replacing traditional materials, improving patient comfort and reducing the risk of complications.

Furthermore, global medical cannula are also driven by various other factors like a rise in the prevalence of chronic diseases, a rise in minimally invasive procedures and others helping the market to grow during the forecast period.

Lack of skilled professionals

Poor cannulation in surgical procedures can lead to hypersensitivity, extravasation, infiltration, phlebitis, and infections. IV cannulation can be unpleasant for newborns, and few institutes offer medical cannulation training globally. A lack of professionals and cannulation errors could hinder market expansion due to a shortage of professionals.

Segment Analysis

The global medical cannula market is segmented based on product type, application, age group, material type, modality, end-user and region.

The IV cannula  from the product type segment accounted for approximately 54.3% of the medical cannula  market share

The IV cannula from the product type segment accounted for approximately 54.3%. Intravenous (IV) cannulation is a technique in which a cannula is placed inside a vein to provide venous access. Venous access allows sampling of blood, as well as administration of fluids, medications, parenteral nutrition, chemotherapy, and blood products.

For instance, in September 2023, Rocialle Healthcare launched a new and comprehensive portfolio of IV cannulas and extension sets. Combining innovative design with high quality, the company provides a comprehensive offering that includes the highly acclaimed Safnule closed system catheter with a unique and safe needle-stick prevention feature.

Geographical Analysis

North America is estimated to hold about 38.4% of the total market share throughout the forecast period

North America is estimated to hold about 38.4% of the total market share throughout the forecast period owing to factors like the availability of advanced healthcare facilities in the region and the presence of dominant market players. In addition, the increasing prevalence of lifestyle diseases in the region is also a major factor in its dominance. Other factors such as greater awareness about minimally invasive surgeries and the increasing adoption rate of cosmetic surgeries in this region.

For instance, on February 23, 2021, Masimo stated the U.S. introduction of softFlow, an innovative pulmonary care therapy which provides nasal high-flow warmed and humidified respiratory gases to spontaneously breathing patients. The technology, available on the softFlow 50, offers adult patients high-flow respiratory support through a soft nasal cannula by generating a consistently high flow of warm, humidified air or air/oxygen mixture.

Covid 19 Impact Analysis

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the cannula market, leading to increased hospitalizations and respiratory support demand. This increased demand for oxygen delivery and respiratory therapies, such as nasal and high-flow cannulas, was influenced by the need for infection prevention and control measures. Healthcare facilities prioritized using sterile and single-use medical devices, such as cannulas, to prevent the spread of infections, influencing the demand for specific types of cannulas.
