South Africa Mechanical Ventilator Market - Overview

A mechanical ventilator is a device that helps critically ill patients who are unable to breathe on their own. To connect the patient to the ventilator, a hollow tube that acts as an artificial airway is inserted into the patient's mouth and down into their trachea. Also, mechanical ventilators are used as a diagnostic tool to assess static compliance of airway resistance and respiratory system abnormalities. In medical emergencies and surgeries, mechanical ventilators are a life-saving device.

Growth Drivers

Growing Geriatric Population

Aging population is the key driver for South Africa mechanical ventilators market. For the treatment of chronic respiratory disorders, geriatric patients need long-term ventilation, which raises the need for mechanical ventilators. South Africa mechanical ventilators market is expanding owing to rising chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) prevalence and technological advancements in the field of positive pressure airway devices.

Restraints

High Capital Requirements

The market for mechanical ventilators in South Africa is severely constrained by high capital requirements. Dangers related to mechanical ventilation processes impede market expansion. For instance, the endotracheal tube in the windpipe facilitates the entry of microorganisms into the lungs, where they cause pneumonia. Mechanics force air into the lung using ventilators. It could damage the lung by expanding them.

Impact of COVID-19 on South Africa Mechanical Ventilator Market

COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the expansion mechanical ventilator market in South Africa. Respiratory failure is a complication of the COVID-19 infection, necessitating critical care and ventilator support. For critically unwell COVID-19 patients, mechanical breathing has frequently been used to oxygenate them. Moreover, new COVID-19 delta and omicron variants with a rapid rate of spread discovered in mid-November 2021 raised the danger of a third wave globally. Also, major producers in the mechanical ventilators market as well as the government took steps to increase market output to meet the high demand for ventilators during the pandemic. Consequently, the presence of numerous manufacturers and initiatives taken by government to promote the production of market has driven the expansion of the market.
