Key Factors Driving the Laryngeal Mask Market Growth Include Technological Developments

Laryngeal Mask Industry Overview

The global laryngeal mask market size is expected to reach USD 863.7 million by 2028 according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 6.0% from 2021 to 2028. An increase in the number of surgeries that include anesthesia procedures coupled with the rising morbidity related to chronic diseases is the key contributor to market growth.

The key advantages of the product, such as ventilation management during anesthesia, induction, maintenance, and emergence, are anticipated to drive the market. Furthermore, the placement of these masks does not require laryngoscopy and muscle relaxants like succinylcholine, which is known to cause postoperative myalgia in certain patients. Hence, the usage of these masks greatly reduces the incidence of postoperative myalgia.

The COVID-19 pandemic is caused by a coronavirus that is transmitted primarily via droplets, aerosol, or direct contact. This has caused higher infection risk to anesthetists due to their recurrent involvement in aerosol-generating airway interventions. This has caused the slow adoption of laryngeal masks during the pandemic. Various anesthetic guidelines have emerged due to coronavirus outbreak; underlying management principles include protecting healthcare workers and minimizing aerosol contamination.
