Global Nasal Cannula Market to Surpass $8 Billion by 2026

According to Coherent Market Insights, the global nasal cannula market was valued at $4.23 billion in 2017, and is projected to exhibit a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4 percent over the forecast period (2018–2026).
 
Key Trends and Analysis of the Global Nasal Cannula Market
Key players in the market are focused on introducing nasal cannula devices with new technology. For instance, in 2016, UODPS LLC launched its product Uniflo-2 single nasal cannula. It is the first nasal cannula to have a single prong instead of dual. According to the survey conducted by the company in 2018, approximately 98 percent of patients suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) preferred using Uniflo-2. This was majorly attributed to advantages of Uniflo-2 single nasal cannula such as minimal skin contact, light weight, and comfort in use. Therefore, such innovations are expected to boost the global nasal cannula market growth.
 
Furthermore, increasing prevalence of diseases such as COPD and stroke and preterm births is expected to drive the global nasal cannula market growth. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, around 795,000 people suffer from stroke, annually in the U.S. and approximately 140,000 deaths are recorded. Moreover, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 65 million suffer from COPD, annually. Moreover, COPD is considered as the third leading cause of death worldwide. Therefore, these factors are expected to support the global nasal cannula market growth.
 
Low cost of nasal cannulas may help in increasing the adoption of these devices in developing economies which is expected to propel the global nasal cannula market growth. For instance, a Optiflow (nasal cannula manufactured by Fisher and Paykel Healthcare) nasal high flow therapy costs around $520 per patient against a standard oxygen therapy and $680 in comparison of non-invasive ventilation, when given as first line therapy. Hence, the cost effectiveness factor is expected to augment the global nasal cannula market growth.
