Definition and Scope: Breathing circuits are essential components in anesthesia delivery systems, facilitating the transfer of gases between the patient and the anesthesia machine during surgical procedures. These circuits typically consist of tubing, connectors, and filters that ensure the delivery of a precise mixture of gases to the patient while removing exhaled gases. They play a crucial role in maintaining the patient's airway and regulating the flow of oxygen and anesthesia gases during surgery. Breathing circuits are designed to be disposable or reusable, with disposable circuits being more commonly used in healthcare settings due to their convenience and reduced risk of cross-contamination. The market for breathing circuits is experiencing steady growth driven by several key factors. The increasing number of surgical procedures worldwide, coupled with the rising prevalence of chronic respiratory diseases, is fueling the demand for breathing circuits in healthcare facilities. Technological advancements in anesthesia delivery systems, such as the integration of innovative features like heat and moisture exchangers, are also driving market growth. Moreover, the growing focus on patient safety and infection control measures is prompting healthcare providers to invest in disposable breathing circuits to minimize the risk of healthcare-associated infections. Additionally, the expanding geriatric population, who are more susceptible to respiratory ailments, is contributing to the growing adoption of breathing circuits in hospitals and clinics. The global Breathing Circuits market size was estimated at USD 633.15 million in 2024, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.00% during the forecast period.
