Anesthesia CO2 Absorbents Market - By Product (Medisorb, Dragersorb, Amsorb, Litholyme, Soda Lime), By Type (Premium, Traditional), By Form (Power Form, Granular Form), By End-use (Hospitals, Clinics)– Global Forecast, 2023-2032

Anesthesia CO2 absorbents Market Size

Anesthesia CO2 Absorbents Market size was valued at USD 74.1 million in 2022 and is estimated to account for USD 121.9 million by 2032. The anesthesia CO2 absorbents are responsible for removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the exhaled breath of a patient under anesthesia. The increasing number of surgical procedures worldwide is one of the major factors driving the market growth.
 

According to the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) in 2022, around 1.3 million cardiovascular procedures were carried out in North America. Hence, increasing number of cardiovascular procedures is expected to raise the demand for anesthesia CO2 absorbents, which is projected to further stimulate market progress.
 

Advances in anesthesia delivery systems and CO2 absorbent technologies have improved safety, efficiency, and effectiveness in administering anesthesia. Healthcare providers are increasingly adopting these advanced systems to enhance patient care, thereby driving market growth. Thus, the aforementioned factors will positively influence the demand for anesthesia CO2 absorbents.
 

COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic led to a surge in the demand for ventilators and anesthesia machines to support patients with severe respiratory issues. These machines require CO2 absorbents to function effectively. As a result, there was an increased demand for anesthesia CO2 absorbents to support the influx of COVID-19 patients. Therefore, the continued adoption of mechanical ventilators and anesthesia machines throughout the pandemic stimulated the market expansion.
 

Anesthesia CO2 Absorbents Market Trends
