Market Overview

The arterial blood gas machine market was estimated at USD 584.5 million in 2019 and is projected to grow with a CAGR of 5.0%.

Blood gas analyzers are used in the diagnosis of several physiological parameters, such as blood vessel hemorrhage, diabetes, drug overdose, and shock testing, including hydrogen ion concentration, electrolytes, and oxygen concentration. Blood gas levels provide accurate results for acid-base balance, blood gases, and other electrolyte balance. ABG is helpful in the diagnosis of a variety of metabolic acid/base disorders, ventilation complications, and hypoxemia in the intensive care unit. Following the onset of therapy, repeat ABG may assess the efficacy of the intervention (e.g., when mechanical ventilation is performed for respiratory failure) and also indicate the degree of respiratory and renal compensation for a given acid/base condition.

ABGs are particularly helpful in operating theatre where acid/base status can dynamically change during cardiopulmonary bypass, one-lung ventilation, transplant surgery, and urological procedures. Its analysis is also helpful where tight control of partial CO2 pressure is necessary for better patient outcomes; for example, in neurosurgical cases where the impact of carbon dioxide on intracranial pressure (ICP) may be crucial. Additionally, blood gas testing is often recommended for patients assisted by the ventilator, undergoing respiratory distress evaluation to offer insights on the patient's oxygen level. 


Market Dynamics

Growing Demand for High Performance and Integrated Systems to Drive the Market Growth

An increasing number of patients admitted in intensive care units, emergency care centers, and operation theaters, growing demand for high performance and integrated systems, and increasing affordability of patients drive the market growth. The global geriatric population is growing at a significant rate, further rising the number of patients seeking medical care in emergency departments, critical care units, and operating rooms as they are highly susceptible to a myriad of diseases. The global geriatric population aged 65 and above is expected to grow from 7% in 2000 to 16% by 2050, as per the World Health Organization (WHO).  

Technological Advancements in Arterial Blood Gas Machines

The arterial blood gas machine market’s most prominent driver is the rapid innovations and advancements in technology. The development of innovative devices from the bench-top to portable, mobile, and elegant point-of-care devices provides an impetus to the market growth. In addition, the expanded test kit market integrates blood gas and electrolyte analysis features to include multiple electrolytes, bilirubin, creatinine, and single-sample blood urea nitrogen testing. For instance, Sphere Medical Ltd, a U.K. based company, developed a blood gas analyzer that includes an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) and a disposable sensor.

Novel Application of Arterial Blood Gas Machines

Increasing demand for high efficiency and integrated systems, suitable treatment in trauma centers and ICU, delivery of fast and credible results, and high turnaround time of blood gas analyzers drives the market growth. The ability of blood gas analyzers to integrate with electronic health/medical records (EHRs/EMRs) has improved the workflow and limited manual errors. Increasing application of ABG machines in surgical procedures, such as hypoventilation, endotracheal tube placement, and esophageal intubation, due to higher sensitivity, improved patient safety profile, and faster detection of respiratory insufficiency provides an impetus to the market growth. 

Rising Prevalence of Cancer to Prompt the Need for Effective Blood Gas Machines

Globally, the healthcare expenditure for the treatment of chronic diseases, such as cancer and chronic respiratory diseases, has been witnessing a significant surge. Private organizations and governments are channelizing efforts to formulate favorable initiatives to reduce healthcare expenditure, which includes encouraging patients to undergo regular diagnostic examinations. As per the WHO, the global incidence of cancer was 14.1 million in 2012 and is projected to reach 23.6 million by 2030, further prompting the need for efficient blood gas machines.
