The global manual resuscitators market is poised to witness robust growth between 2024-2031 owing to rising pediatric and geriatric population. Manual resuscitators, also known as manual ventilation bags or rebreathing bags, are medical devices used to provide ventilation to patients who are unable to breathe adequately or have stopped breathing. They are widely used in emergency response settings as they are hand-operated, portable devices that allow first responders to provide ventilation support before patients can be transported to hospitals. The manual resuscitator squeezes oxygen from the bag through a mask or endotracheal tube and into the patient's lungs.
The Global Manual Resuscitators Market Share is estimated to be valued at US$ 540.7 MN in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.6% over the forecast period 2024 to 2031. The growing need for emergency care equipment across healthcare facilities coupled with an increasing incidence of chronic respiratory diseases are major factors driving the demand for manual resuscitators.
Key Takeaways
Key players operating in the global manual resuscitators market are WEINMANN Emergency Medical Technology GmbH + Co. KG, Laerdal Medical, Ambu A/S, Medline Industries, LP, Hopkins Medical Products, ResMed, Inc., HUM Gesellschaft für Homecare und Medizintechnik mbH, PERSYS MEDICAL, and CareFusion.
WEINMANN Emergency Medical Technology GmbH + Co. KG is a leading provider of emergency medical technologies and develops resuscitation devices and emergency ventilation solutions for emergency medical services and clinics.

The rising incidence of chronic respiratory diseases like asthma and COPD presents lucrative opportunities for players in the manual resuscitators market. According to WHO, respiratory diseases accounted for over 26% of global deaths in 2019. Further, growing demand for emergency care equipment from hospitals and emergency medical services will also augment market growth during the forecast period.
Key players are exploring opportunities in developing regions through collaboration with regional distributors. For instance, in 2019, Ambu A/S partnered with Indus Health Plus to strengthen its presence in the Indian market. Similarly, other players are focusing on Asia Pacific and Latin America to tap into high growth opportunities in these regions.
Market Drivers
According to WHO, chronic respiratory diseases affected over 340 million people worldwide in 2018. The rising prevalence of respiratory diseases is a major factor driving the demand for manual resuscitators. Respiratory failure is a life-threatening condition that requires emergency ventilation using manual resuscitators.
Growing geriatric population also presents growth opportunities. Older people suffer from age-related respiratory function decline. In addition, the increasing incidents of injuries and accidents necessitate emergency respiratory assistance using manual resuscitators.
Market Restraints
Comparatively lower pricing and high quality of low-cost manual resuscitators from local manufacturers in developing countries pose a major threat to established players. Further, the lack of awareness about chronic respiratory diseases in low-income nations limits the market potential. High dependency on disposable components also increases operating costs. Stringent regulatory norms for new product approval also restraint market growth to some extent.
Segment Analysis
The global manual resuscitators market can be segmented into self-inflating resuscitators and flow-inflating resuscitators. The self-inflating resuscitators segment dominates the market and accounted for over 60% of the market share in 2024. Self-inflating resuscitators are preferred more as they are easy to use and require no external power supply.
Global Analysis
Regionally, North America is the fastest growing as well as dominating regional market for manual resuscitators. Factors such as increasing number of emergency cases, well-established healthcare facilities and presence of leading players in the region are driving the North American market. Europe is also among the major markets owing to rising cases of cardiac arrests. However, Asia Pacific is expected to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period due to improving healthcare facilities and increasing medical awareness in developing countries of the region.
