- The escalating demand for manual resuscitators is primarily fueled by the rising prevalence of respiratory diseases, increasing cases of cardiac arrest, and the growing need for effective emergency response systems in both developed and emerging healthcare infrastructures
- North America dominated the manual resuscitators market with the largest revenue share of 36.98% in 2024, characterized by the presence of advanced healthcare systems, high awareness of life-saving techniques, and a strong presence of established medical device manufacturers, particularly in the U.S., where public access defibrillation programs and CPR training have driven demand for portable resuscitation tools
- Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest growing region in the manual resuscitators market during the forecast period due to expanding healthcare access, increasing investments in emergency medical services, and heightened awareness of pre-hospital care
- Self-Inflating Resuscitator segment dominated the manual resuscitators market with a market share of 45.89% in 2024, driven by its widespread use in emergency care scenarios due to simplicity, ease of operation, and compatibility with both adult and pediatric patient care
