A capnograph is a device used to measure the carbon dioxide present in the patient's body during exhalation, which depicts the graphical representation of CO2 concentration versus time or expired volume of CO2 during the respiration periodical cycle. According to Market Stack, the Global Capnography Equipment Market is expected to grow considerably during the forecasted period. Factors such as respiratory diseases, such as respiratory infections, asthma, lung cancer, and Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), are increasing at an alarming rate in both developed and developing countries and are expected to drive the Capnography Equipment Market in the forecasted period. Further, the technological advancement in global monitoring and its advantages over pulse oximetry, like early detection of supplemental oxygen detection when breathing stops, are expected to drive the Capnography Equipment Market in the forecasted period. Furthermore, the developing guidelines related to the clinical utilization of Capnography and the rise in the number of surgeries are expected to drive the Capnography Equipment Market in the forecasted period. However, the need for more skilled professionals and the high cost of devices will impede the Capnography Equipment Market in the forecasted period.

The surging prevalence of respiratory and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, like pulmonary embolism and asthma, is one of the major factors propelling the market's growth. These devices are also being used to monitor patients suffering from coronavirus disease in intensive care. The increasing geriatric population, which is more susceptible to lung disorders, is also fueling the market growth. Capnography measures and monitors carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration in exhaled breath, an essential indicator of respiratory status. The increasing frequency of respiratory illnesses like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and sleep apnea is what is driving the demand for capnography equipment in medical settings. The development of advanced Capnography devices, like wireless and wearable devices, drives the market's growth. These devices provide greater convenience and flexibility in monitoring respiratory status. Using Capnography during procedural sedation is becoming more common, as it can help identify early signs of respiratory compromise and decrease the risk of adverse events. The rising awareness of patient safety is fueling the adoption of Capnography devices in healthcare settings. Capnography devices are broadly used in healthcare settings, including intensive care units, operating rooms, emergency departments, and respiratory care units. The technology monitors patients undergoing anaesthesia, sedation, mechanical ventilation, and respiratory conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma.

Capnography is considered an essential tool in airway management and is used to detect apnea, hypoventilation, and other respiratory abnormalities, allowing for prompt intervention and improved patient outcomes. The global Capnography Market includes various Capnography devices, such as handheld Capnography devices, stand-alone Capnography monitors, and integrated Capnography monitors integrated with other patient monitoring systems. Capnography is a non-invasive method for monitoring a patient's respiratory status by measuring the concentration of carbon dioxide in exhaled breath. It is considered a vital tool in airway management and is utilized to detect apnea, hypoventilation, and other respiratory abnormalities, allowing for prompt intervention and improved patient outcomes. Several factors are predicted to cause the market to expand significantly during the forecasted period.

North America dominates the capnography device market due to the increase in the incidences of respiratory diseases, sedentary lifestyles, and high stress levels. Furthermore, the combination of new settlement models for respiratory and monitoring solution procedures will further boost the growth of the capnography equipment market in the region during the forecasted period. Asia Pacific is awaited to observe significant growth in the capnography device market due to the expeditiously advancing healthcare systems. The increase in healthcare expenses and the rise in alertness levels concerning the acceptance of capnography technology are further anticipated to propel the growth of the market in the region in the forecasted period. Capnography devices are widely used for operative and post-operative care of patients and are generally used in the operation, recovery and critical rooms, wards and ambulances. Various product innovations, such as developing technologically advanced devices that offer ease of connection, convenient sterilization and enable accurate monitoring of non-intubated substances, act as another growth-inducing factor. The market is further propelled by the launch of precise high variants integrated with photodetectors, molecular correlation spectroscopy and miniaturized multi-gas monitors with an adjustable flow rate. Other factors, including essential improvements in the healthcare infrastructure and the development of portable and point-of-care capnography devices, are projected to drive the market. The widespread use of side-stream technologies in anaesthetic monitoring was blamed for this tremendous rise. The devices equipped with side stream technology provide a variety of advantages. These advantages include simplicity of connection and less sterilizing issues. These devices also help monitor non-incubated substances with the help of nasal adapters.

On the other hand, the microstream technology segment is expected to register a tremendous growth rate in the forecasted period owing to the rising penetration of these products due to technological advancements in this field. In addition, microstream technology can be used in intubated and non-intubated patients and patients of all ages. The rise in surgical procedures and the importance of side-stream Capnography during surgeries is expected to increase the demand for side-stream capnography devices, leading to significant growth in the market.

The market key players are Edan Instruments, Inc., Nihon Kohden Corp., Smiths Medical, Masimo, and Welch Allyn (Hill-Rom Holdings, Inc.

In September 2022, SunMed received Medical Device Regulation (MDR) certification from the European Union (EU) on nine categories of its medical devices, including capnography cannulas. This provides the framework for SunMed to grow our EU portfolio with additional product families.

In June 2022, Medtronic and GE Healthcare entered a partnership to integrate microstream Capnography and INVOS regional oximetry (rSO2) technology for perioperative and intensive care on the GE Healthcare Carescape precision monitoring platform.
