The global inhalation anesthesia market size is projected to expand at a significant CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing geriatric population suffering from cardiovascular, orthopedic, neurological, respiratory, cancer, spinal, gastrointestinal, and other diseases and disorders.
Inhalational anesthesia (IA) come to be the anesthetic of choice over Intravenous Anesthesia (IVA) in many healthcare practitioners because it aids to avoid extreme dosage and keeps autonomic functions of patients intact. These drugs are eradicated through lugs and body have lower chance of retention. Inhaled routes of drugs have limited addiction and tolerance level as compared to other substitute routes. IA is less costly than IVA and has a lower risk of dementia. Recently, number of surgical procedures are increasing which results growth in the inhalation anesthesia market. The rising number of orthopedic procedures include ligament repair and other soft tissue overhaul is propelling the daycare ambulatory surgeries growth which helps the market.
The anesthesia recycling market is anticipated to play important role in enhancing the market dynamics and competition. The anesthesia recycling market is growing significantly due to inhalation anesthetic’s environmental impact which is released from hospital environment into the atmosphere. Around 1% of global carbon dioxide is emitted from anesthetic gases which causes huge environmental damage. While using anesthetic gases, the major concern is that patient uses only 5% and rest of it which is around 95% is released into the atmosphere that results in contribution to global warming.
To deal the environmental effect of anesthetic gases, several new technologies are evolving for searching anesthetic gases from hospital vents and recycling them. Anesthesia reclamation LLC, and Deltasorb Technologies (Blue Zone Technology) developed the anesthesia recycling systems. Anesthetic Recapture System was developed by Anesthesia reclamation LLC in which waste anesthetics from the operating rooms are collected by cryogenic condensing system.
Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities
- Increasing prevalence of disorders such as respiratory diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, and cancer is major factor responsible for the market expansion during the forecast period.
- Rising geriatric population, and growing number of surgical procedures across globe are projected to boost the market expansion.
- Rising research and development in healthcare, and technological and scientific advancements are estimated to fuel the market growth.
- Increasing demand of growing demand for a lesser duration of hospitalization, and growing accessibility to health services are expected to drive the growth of the market.
- Inhalation anesthetics’ side effects is key factor that hinder the market expansion during the forecast period.
- Lack of awareness among people and patent expiration are expected to hamper the market growth.

Market Segment Insights
Induction segment is anticipated to expand at a rapid CAGR
On the basis of applications, the inhalation anesthesia market is segmented into induction and maintenance. The maintenance segment is expected to hold a key share of the market during the forecast period due to its huge requirement of volume for faster induction and maintenance along with recovery from anesthesia.
However, the induction segment is expected to grow at a lucrative CAGR over the forecast period during the forecast period. Induction of anesthesia needs greater concentration of drugs as compared to maintenance of anesthesia. There are some factors responsible for influencing induction of anesthesia such as Minimum Alveolar Concentration (MAC), patient’s age, compatibility with other drugs, potency, blood/gas solubility, therapeutic index of drug, and rate of metabolism by kidney/liver. In central nervous system inhalation general anesthetic agents have mechanism of action that depends on blood and gas solubility and Minimum Alveolar Concentration (MAC) concentration of different drugs. Therefore, patients sensitive to anesthetic agents are supervised to evade recovery delays in anesthesia.
Sevoflurane segment is expected to hold a major share
Based on products, the inhalation anesthesia market is divided into sevoflurane, isoflurane, and desflurane. All these products are used in maintenance and induction of anesthesia during surgical products. Baxter Healthcare have all 3 products inside its portfolio and its only player. Piramal Healthcare and AbbVie Inc. have sevoflurane and isoflurane in their portfolio.
The sevoflurane segment is expected to account for a key share of the in the coming years due to its therapeutic advantages and low cost. Other two, desflurane and isoflurane are based on patient needs and the requirement for prolonged induction or maintenance of anesthesia. On the other hand, the isoflurane segment is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period due to sparing effect on cardiovascular function which makes it useful in the anesthetic management.
North America is expected to dominate the market
On the basis of regions, the inhalation anesthesia market is categorized as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. The market of North America is anticipated to expand at an impressive CAGR during the forecast period. The regional market growth can be attributed to rising prevalence of several chronic diseases and advanced healthcare facilities. The demand of surgical products is increasing which includes ambulatory surgery and inpatient surgery. These surgeries are in high demand in North America which is anticipated to fuel the regional growth.
However, the market of Asia Pacific is expected to exhibit a rapid growth rate in the coming years owing to incidence of chronic diseases and availability of healthcare insurance for masses. Moreover, growing population, and public and private healthcare expenditure are projected to boost the regional growth. The increasing medical tourism along with rising penetration of insurance coverage are expected to aid more people to choose surgical products. Development of ambulatory healthcare centers is anticipated to propel the rise in population in Asia Pacific hence, positively impacting the market.
