Segments - Respiratory Humidifying Equipment Market By Types (Active Respiratory Humidification and Passive Respiratory Humidification), Applications (Hospitals and Homecare), Sales Channels (Direct Channel and Distribution Channel), and By Regions (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa) - Global Industry Analysis, Growth, Share, Size, Trends, And Forecast, 2023-2031
The global respiratory humidifying equipment market size was valued at USD 1000.82 Million in 2022 and is expected to surpass USD 1871.15 Million by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 7.2% during the forecast period, 2023–2031.
Respiratory humidification is the process of artificially warming, purifying, and humidifying respiratory gas. When natural humidification fails, the lung tissues begin to deteriorate, owing to organ dryness.
Respiratory humidification is performed for mechanically ventilated patients in this way. Artificial respiration causes the epithelial mucus layer to thicken in a short period of time, limiting ciliary action inside the nose.
The humidification process compensates for the loss of heat and moisture, preventing such difficulties. To maintain mucociliary clearance for a long time, humid air is given to the nasal mucosa at 37 degrees Celsius (room temperature) with an adjusted 100 percent relative humidity.

The value of the global market for respiratory humidification has been steadily increasing. The effectiveness of respiratory humidification solutions in reducing the need for invasive therapies and other difficult interventions in patients is driving its demand, resulting in high growth of the market.
The market is expected to develop rapidly in the future, as customers become aware of the benefits and convenience of use of these devices by patients of all ages. In the medical and healthcare industries, respiratory humidification solutions are used to provide warm moisture and breathing gas to patients, particularly infants.
High flow humidification therapy (HfT), an emergent therapy employing high flow humidifiers, is registering widespread adoption among medical professionals for the treatment of patients with a variety of respiratory illnesses. As a result, the global respiratory humidifying equipment market has grown significantly.
These treatments help patients breathe easily and boost the amount of oxygen in their blood, which is expected to raise the demand for these products around the world in the coming years. The competitive landscape of the global respiratory humidification market is characterised by the presence of a large pool of companies, which is projected to intensify over the next few years.
During the forecast period, strict government regulations and the damage to the nasal mucosa caused by the invasive technique are projected to restrain the respiratory humidifiers market.
The respiratory humidifying equipment market is expected to be driven by rising demand for neonatal care products and increasing global geriatric population during the forecast period.
Over the previous two years, almost every industry in the world suffered a setback. This is ascribed to severe disruptions in their respective manufacturing and supply-chain operations as a result of various precautionary lockdowns and other limitations imposed by governments all over the world. The same is applied for the global respiratory humidifying equipment market.
Furthermore, consumer demand decreased, as people are now focused on removing non-essential expenses from their budgets, as the general economic situation of most people has been negatively affected by the outbreak.
Over the forecast period, the aforementioned factors are likely to weigh on the revenue trajectory of the global respiratory humidifying equipment market. The global respiratory humidifying equipment market is likely to revive, as respective government agencies begin to relax the enforced lockdowns.
Based on types, the market is segmented as active respiratory humidification and passive respiratory humidification. The active respiratory humidification segment held a large market share. In comparison to passive respiratory humidification, it provides the suggested criteria and allows gas and easily drainable emissions.
On the basis of applications, the market is segmented into hospitals and homecare. With a large market share, the hospitals segment leads the market. The hospitals sub-segment is leading the market, due to good treatment and the availability of trained doctors in hospitals.
In terms of sales channels, the market is segmented into direct channel and distribution channel. The direct channel sub-segment holds a large market share. Direct channel includes the provision of safe, high-quality items that help to build a trust connection between suppliers and customers over time. As a result, this sub-segment drives the market.
Based on regions, the market is split into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa, and Latin America. The market in North America maintained a significant market share in 2019, due to the introduction of intrusive humidifiers that are easy to operate and change the temperature according to recommendations.
Introduction of invasive humidifiers to the market, which control the temperature and humidity of gas according to the needs of patients, resulted in large revenue in North America. The epithelial layer of the nasal mucosa is damaged by the insufficiently warmed-up air provided by standard humidifiers, which does not convey enough moisture particles.
It is a primary element driving the respiratory humidifier market in Asia Pacific. Increased incidence of mucociliary impairment in neonates is expected to drive the market in North America over the forecast period.
The major players in the market are Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited, Teleflex Incorporated, Intersurgical Inc, Flexicare (Group) Limited, Vapotherm, WILAmed GmbH, Hamilton Medical, ARMSTRONG MEDICAL, and Breas Medical.
