Global Inhalation Anesthetics Market

An inhalational anesthetic is a chemical compound possessing general anesthetic properties which can be delivered via inhalation. Inhaled anesthetic agents include various halogenated agents such as isoflurane, sevoflurane and desflurane as well as certain anesthetic gases such as nitrous oxide and xenon. They are administered by anesthetists through laryngeal mask airway, an anesthesia mask, or tracheal tube connected to an anesthetic vaporizer and an anesthetic delivery system. These agents get flushed into the blood through alveoli and transported to central nervous system where these induce anesthesia.

Market Dynamics

As indicated by the World Health Organization, the number of surgeries performed across the globe has increased and this trend is projected to continue due to increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, healthcare expenditure, and technological advancements. Inhalation anesthetics offer shorter induction and recovery time with better efficiency. Also, Inhalation anesthetics in conjugation with intravenous and other anesthetic agents offer better anesthetic effect during surgical procedures. These factors are anticipated to drive the inhalation anesthetics market during the forecasted time frame. Further, growing investment in healthcare infrastructure, development in emerging economies and increasing adoption of universal health coverage will spur the business growth.
