Cranfield, UK, 12th July 2024 – According to Sam Wilson, Market Analyst at Signify Research, the global ventilator market is undergoing significant changes in the post-pandemic era. In this Insight video, Sam discusses the market’s contraction in 2023 and the anticipated further decline into 2024, driven by economic and political uncertainties, especially in China. However, a recovery is expected from 2025, fuelled by increased infrastructure investments in emerging markets and a return to pre-pandemic levels in developed regions.
Sam also highlights the shifting demand across ventilator segments, with high-end ventilators remaining critical for ICUs, while mid-range ventilators are projected to grow the fastest due to rising cost pressures. The competitive landscape is evolving as companies like Medtronic, Philips, and Vyaire Medical exit the market, raising questions about which vendors will capture the left-behind share. Established players like Dräger and Getinge, as well as newer entrants like Mindray, are poised to influence the market’s future.

Market Overview
The post-pandemic climate, economic conditions and the changing competitive landscape led to a further decline in the global ventilator market revenues in 2023. A rebound is projected within the forecast period allowing the market to reach pre-pandemic levels in many regions and product segments by 2028. The overall ventilator market is projected to grow at a 4.6% CAGR from 2023 to 2028.
The Mid-Range product segment (part of critical care ventilators) is projected to see the fastest revenue growth due to its growing acceptance in developed regions, and the expansion of ventilation provision in the developing regions. The Transport & Emergency segment is also projected to see faster growth driven by a recovery post-pandemic particularly in transport and military ventilators.
Competitive Landscape
In the wake of the pandemic, the competitive landscape of the ventilator market has presented a set of formidable challenges, necessitating vendors to exhibit adaptability and strategic foresight. In addition to the slowdown observed in the post-pandemic period, persistent obstacles such as a global economic downturn, ongoing geopolitical conflict, and substantial increases in the costs of the manufacturing process have created a somewhat hostile environment for vendors.
This has been pronounced through the recent decisions and developments of vendors such as Philips, Medtronic and now Vyaire. Such substantial changes raise important questions about the future direction of the ventilator market and its key players. How will these exits reshape the competitive landscape, and which companies are poised to capitalise on the emerging opportunities?
