The global manual resuscitator market size accounted for USD 648 million in 2024 and is expected to exceed around USD 1,216.39 million by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2024 to 2034.
Manual resuscitators are an integral part of the healthcare industry. Manual resuscitators also known as bag valve mask (BVM) or self-inflating bag or artificial manual breathing unit (Ambu) bag, is used for providing positive pressure ventilation to patients who aren’t breathing or not breathing properly. They require an individual for compressing and decompressing periodically a handheld bag connected to a face mask. For emergency precautionary measures, BVMs should always be near a patient.
Manual resuscitators are a necessity in hospitals as they are used for providing temporary ventilation support, during anaesthesia or recovery during routine surgery and also they are primarily suggested for emergency artificial ventilation for critical care patients therefore also used in out-of-hospital care settings by firefighters, paramedics and other medical clinic personnel. Moreover, most hospitals use manual versions of resuscitators due to inadequate budget and a significant number of neonates require infant-sized manual resuscitators for stimulating normal breathing which is promoting the market growth.
The rising cases of cardiac arrests in hospitals and increased awareness are the factors expected to build favourable circumstances for the market players in the upcoming years.
