The Global Respiratory Devices Market is to be Driven by Aging World Population and Growing Disease Prevalence Rates

Respiratory devices are more common among the population which is 60 years or more. This is because the symptoms for diseases such as COPD become more evident after the age of 60 years. Globally, the percentage of the population which is more than 60 years old is increasing. According to United Nations (UN) report, by 2050 the percentage of the population which is 60 years or older is expected to be 21%, up from 10% in 2000. The total number of elderly people (people who are 60 years and above) is expected to reach 2 billion by 2050, which is almost triple as compared to 2000. Annual growth within this segment of the population is about 2%, which is highest among all age groups. This growth rate is forecast to grow even further and reach 2.8% between 2025 and 2030.

Other factors such as smoking, pollution and life-style changes are contributing directly for the rise in the prevalence rates for various respiratory diseases. According to World Health Organization (WHO), there are 210 million people worldwide who are currently suffering from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and by the year 2020, COPD is expected to become the third leading cause of death in the world. Similarly, there are about 300 million people suffering from asthma around the world. By 2025, this number is expected to increase by another 100 million.
