Increasing Number of Surgeries
The demand for various anesthetic drugs is directly related to the number of surgeries performed. Anesthesia is a necessity in almost every type of surgery, as it helps in reducing the pain during the procedure. On the global level, over 230 million surgeries are performed every year. In the coming years, with the growing population, longer life expectancy, increasing diseases resulting in surgical requirements, and rising number of injuries, the demand for anesthetic drugs is expected to increase. Also, this demand is being affected by the growing safety awareness and the technology enhancements in anesthesia machines. Lowflow anesthesia and electronic medical records dominate the current anesthesia market, which is affecting the savings across the healthcare industry. The growing patient populations, suffering from sleep disorders, such as Obstructive Sleep Apnea OSA, and respiratory diseases, such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases COPD, has been the major growth driver for this market.
Side Effects of General Anesthetics
Many general anesthetic drugs can cause physiological changes, like blood pressure variations, and due to this, a trained anesthesiologist should continuously monitor the patient's blood pressure levels. Regional anesthesia have potential side effects, which include back pain, difficulty in urinating, hematoma, and severe complications, such as pneumothorax and nerve damage. Local anesthesia numbs the targeted body part; hence, the adverse aftereffects are minimum and depend on the amount of the drug administered. Moreover, the side effects of general anesthesia and the patient's reluctance toward using it are restraining the growth of this segment.
The decrease in the reimbursements provided by governments for medical equipment and increased availability of aftermarket service that prolongs the life of a facility's existing equipment are the challenges restraining the market growth.
North America Holds the Major Market
North America occupies a major share of 32% of the market. This fact can be attributed to the high per capita income of the North American population and the rapidly rising patient population. Following North America is Europe with the secondlargest market share of about 29%. Recent trends show that emerging countries are likely to witness an increase in their growth rates, due to the increasing per capita income and the rapidly growing patient population.
