Ventilators market seen reaching $7.69 billion by 2030

The global ventilators market is projected to rise from $5.07 billion in 2025 to $7.69 billion by 2030, driven by critical care expansion, rising respiratory disease, and broader use of ventilation in hospitals. The Business Research Company’s new report points to stronger demand for home respiratory care, smart ICU systems, and portable ventilators.

Why it matters: - Ventilators are becoming more central to critical care, emergency medicine, and home respiratory support as hospitals expand capacity and patients need more advanced breathing assistance. - The market’s projected rise to $7.69 billion by 2030 signals sustained demand for devices used in operating rooms, intensive care units, neonatal care, and remote monitoring settings.

What happened: - The Business Research Company published its ventilators market report for 2026, covering market size, trends, and a global forecast for 2026-2035. - The report estimates the ventilators market will grow from $5.07 billion in 2025 to $5.5 billion in 2026. - The report projects the market will reach $7.69 billion by 2030. - The report was issued from London on Sept. 2, 2026. - The company also offered a free sample of the report and the full market report.

The details: - The market is forecast to post an 8.5% compound annual growth rate in 2026. - The market is expected to grow at an 8.7% CAGR through 2030. - Growth drivers include expansion of critical care facilities, a higher prevalence of respiratory disease, wider hospital adoption of ventilation technology, improved intensive care protocols, and growth in neonatal care services. - Future growth is expected to come from home respiratory care, investment in smart intensive care unit technologies, expansion of emergency medical services, personalized ventilation approaches, and remote patient monitoring. - Emerging trends include smart alarms, wider availability of portable ventilators, greater use of non-invasive ventilation, connected ICU ventilation systems, and energy-efficient designs. - Ventilators are mechanical devices that move air into and out of the lungs, and clinicians configure them to control air volume and frequency when patients cannot breathe adequately on their own. - Rising surgical procedures are a major market driver because ventilators are critical during operations, especially under general anesthesia. - The American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery reported in February 2024 that about 83% of medical procedures performed in 2023 were minimally invasive, while standard surgeries made up 17%. - Data from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons showed minimally invasive cosmetic procedures increased from 23.7 million in 2022 to 25.4 million in 2023. - Asia-Pacific held the largest global market share in 2025, followed by Western Europe. - The report also covers South East Asia, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, the Middle East, and Africa. - New report features include market attractiveness scoring, TAM analysis, company scoring matrix graphics and tables, Excel-based forecasting dashboards, market hotspots infographics, key technologies, future trend analysis, and updated graphics and tables.

Between the lines: - The forecast points to a market shifting beyond acute hospital use toward more connected, portable, and home-based respiratory care. - The emphasis on smart ICU tools and remote monitoring suggests ventilator demand is increasingly tied to digital health infrastructure, not just device replacement. - The regional breakdown shows Asia-Pacific remains the key growth center, with Western Europe still a major market.

What's next: - The report’s 2030 forecast implies suppliers will likely focus on portable systems, non-invasive devices, and connected monitoring features to capture future demand. - Adoption of smart ICU technologies and home respiratory care may shape buying priorities for hospitals and care providers over the next several years. - The company’s added analytics tools may help buyers compare regions, technologies, and competitors more quickly.
