The pediatric mask market size is projected to reach US$ 1,068.48 million by 2031 from US$ 734.04 million in 2023. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 4.8% during 2023–2031. Increasing research and development activities and growing investments in healthcare are likely to bring new trends in the pediatric mask market in the coming years.
The factors driving the pediatric mask market include the increasing prevalence of respiratory disorders among pediatrics, along with a surge in training programs for healthcare providers. Additionally, increasing awareness about various respiratory disorders and increasing inclination is further expected to contribute to market growth. Moreover, the growing demand for single-use pediatric masks is expected to create ample opportunities in the coming years.
The market growth is ascribed to the increasing prevalence of respiratory disorders among pediatrics and a surge in training programs for healthcare providers. North America is expected to dominate the pediatric mask market, and Asia Pacific is expected to register a significant growth rate owing to the surge in technological advancements, decreasing prices of pediatric masks, the surge in collaborations, and the rising prevalence of pediatric respiratory diseases are propelling the market growth. China accounts for the major market share and India registers a significant growth rate in the region. Neonatal healthcare services are gaining significant attention in India, with key companies, government bodies, and other institutions focusing on innovative techniques to expand pediatric healthcare services across the country. For instance, in June 2023, the Telangana government (India) launched a statewide neonatal ambulance service aiming at ensuring the swift and safe transportation of premature and sick infants. The neonatal ambulances are equipped with state-of-the-art mobile intensive care incubators that are equipped with mechanical ventilators, infusion pumps, and masks to operate. In August 2022, the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) received US$ 25 million in new funding commitments from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and The ELMA Foundation to help nine governments, including India, to build comprehensive oxygen ecosystems.
Respiratory diseases are most common in pediatrics owing to the noxious atmosphere. The spectrum of diseases includes asthma, influenza, pneumonia, bronchitis, and chronic obstructive airway diseases. According to the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, ~4.6 million children in the US had asthma in 2021, and ~500,000 annual hospitalizations were reported due to asthma among children. Additionally, pneumonia is another major respiratory condition affecting millions of children and a major cause of death. As per the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) 2023 report, pneumonia was the major infectious disease causing the death of more than 700,000 children every year. Thus, the rising prevalence of respiratory disorders among children is driving the global demand for pediatric masks.
There has been significant development in healthcare facilities and services globally, increasing the demand for various products, including single-use devices. Globally, single-use devices are widely used owing to the increasing patient safety concerns, reducing healthcare-associated infections, and better management of respiratory infectious diseases. Single-use masks are pre-sterilized and can be directly used, saving a lot of cleaning and sterilization time. These devices are widely used for handling patients suffering from highly infectious diseases, such as severe pneumonia and H1N1 influenza.
Furthermore, the rising number of emergency cases, such as asthma attacks, allergies, and trauma, along with the increasing burden of immunocompromised children prone to respiratory conditions, is expected to create growth opportunities in the coming years.
Key segments that contributed to the derivation of the pediatric mask market analysis are product type, modality, and end user.
The geographic scope of the pediatric mask market report is mainly divided into five regions: North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East & Africa, and South & Central America.
North America held a significant share of the market in 2023. The increasing cases of respiratory diseases in the pediatric population and growing investments in medical devices are among a few factors that are projected to accelerate the growth of the pediatric masks market in North America during the forecast period. The US is expected to account for the largest market share owing to the increasing prevalence of asthma, pneumonia, and sleep apnea. Further, the increasing requirement for novel pediatric masks to improve the quality of treatment is propelling the market in the US. For instance, as per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), ~4.6 children had asthma in 2021 in the US. According to the March of Dimes Organization, the US recorded 380,548 preterm births in 2022, representing 10.4% of live births. Apart from treating asthma patients, masks are also used for preterm births to assist them in proper breathing. Therefore, increasing preterm births and the growing prevalence of asthma in neonates are factors fuelling the demand for pediatric masks in the US.
