 Industry Background

History of inhalation anesthesia can be traced back in 1846, when diethyl ether was first used by William Morton in the U.S. Ether subsisted as a viable agent for several years in the market as it prevented hypoxia and supported respiration & circulation. Later in 1847, James Simpson launched chloroform but had major problems including severe cardiovascular depression and sudden death. Further in 1929, cyclopropane was discovered for usage in various surgeries. However, increasing use of electronic equipment in anesthesia administration necessitated the production of a non-flammable agent. In 1956, halothane was developed by ICI for anesthetic practice. Additionally, introduction of enflurane and isoflurane in 1970 and 1981 respectively further increased the portfolio of inhalational anesthetics. Introduction of novel anesthetics to overcome the drawbacks of existing products will surge the market demand. Focus of business players on introduction of new anesthetic agents will boost the inhalation anesthesia industry growth.
