The Manual Resuscitators Market was valued at USD 567.22 million in 2024 and is expected to grow to USD 986.48 million by 2034, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.7% during the forecast period. The market is driven by increasing prevalence of respiratory diseases, rising awareness of emergency healthcare devices, and growing demand for portable and easy-to-use resuscitation devices in hospitals, ambulatory care, and emergency medical services globally.

Market Overview

Manual resuscitators, also known as bag-valve-mask (BVM) devices, are portable, hand-operated devices used to provide positive pressure ventilation to patients who are not breathing adequately or are in respiratory arrest. They are widely used in hospitals, ambulances, and home care settings to assist patients during emergencies.

The market growth is fueled by increasing incidence of chronic respiratory diseases such as COPD, asthma, and COVID-19-related complications. Emergency medical services and healthcare facilities are adopting manual resuscitators due to their simplicity, effectiveness, and affordability compared to automated ventilators.

Innovation in device design, materials, and ergonomics is enhancing usability and patient safety. The rising adoption of disposable and single-use manual resuscitators also mitigates infection risks in clinical settings.
