Breathing Exercise Devices Market

Breathing Exercise Devices Market Overview

Incentive spirometers or breathing exercise devices or sustained maximal inspiration (AMI) are apparatus that are used by adults or children above age of 4 years to strengthen respiratory muscles and increase the ling volume. Breathing exercise equipment are mainly used for pulmonary function test (PFT), in lung diseases such as asthma, bronchitis, emphysema etc. Breathing exercise devices help to increase lung volume in chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, decrease mucus and fluids in lungs and airway.

Breathing exercise devices are recommended in cases such as trauma injury causing breathing problem, pneumonia, rib damage, and atelectasis after surgery. These devices are also used by runners, sports players, swimmers etc. in order to boost lung capacity and endure stress while performing strenuous physical activities.

Vast range of breathing exercise devices are available ranging from cost-effective breathing exercise devices used in primary care settings to advanced devices for personal use, home care settings and private hospitals. Some of the popular brands of breathing exercise devices include AirLife Volumetric Spirometer, Voldyne 5000 Volumetric Exercise, DHD CliniFLO Flow Breathing Exerciser, Hudson RCI Lung Volume Exerciser, Frolov’s Respiration Training Device and others.

Breathing Exercise Devices Market: Drivers and Restraints

Rising prevalence of lung disorders such as asthma, COPD and co-morbidities is the primary factor driving the growth of global breathing exercise devices market. As per European Respiratory Review article, COPD will be the third leading cause of death worldwide by 2020.

Moreover, increasing level of air pollution in major cities, active smoking habits, occupational risks in people working in chemical and fiber factories etc. are some of the prominent factors fueling the growth of breathing exercise devices market. However, high cost of device, lack of reimbursement policies etc. are some of the factors limiting the growth of global breathing exercise devices market.

For instance, cost of simple breathing exercise devices ranges from US$ 8.0 to US$ 12 and that of volumetric breathing exercise devices is around US$35 to US$ 55.

Breathing Exercise Devices Market: Overview

The global market for breathing exercise machines is highly fragmented with presence of local and regional players and the range of incentive spirometers on the market is huge. Simple breathing exercise devices are capable of supporting to assist inspiration (inspiratory) and others are capable of measuring volume of inspired air (volumetric). Volumetric breathing exercise devices segmented is expected to contribute highest share in the global market due to increasing adoption in home care settings and personal use.
