Based on product, the market is segmented into devices, software, and consumables & accessories. The devices segment held leading revenue share in 2023 and is anticipated to reach USD 1.4 billion by 2032.
 

• Spirometers are the primary tools used for measuring lung function and diagnosing respiratory conditions. They directly facilitate the collection of vital data related to airflow, lung volume, and respiratory parameters during the  spirometry testing. Hence, owing to aforementioned core functionally of the devices, they are projected to be the primary factor to propel the segment expansion.  
   
• Additionally, spirometer devices typically have longer lifespans and lower replacement frequencies compared to consumables or software. The core spirometer device may last for several years with proper maintenance. This longer replacement cycle contributes to their cost effectiveness and sustained demand among healthcare professionals and patients.

Based on technology, the spirometer market is segmented into volume measurement, flow measurement, and peak flow meters. The volume measurement segment held leading revenue share in 2023 and is anticipated to reach USD 1 billion by 2032.
 

• Volume measurement spirometers offer direct assessments of lung volumes and capacities, crucial for precise evaluation of respiratory function. These features attract the attention of healthcare professionals as they depend on these measurements to accurately diagnose and monitor respiratory ailments like asthma, COPD, and restrictive lung diseases, resulting in the segment growth.
   
• Additionally, volume measured technology enabled spirometers are endorsed by professional organizations and guidelines, making them necessary and most utilized in clinical settings, including hospitals, clinics, and diagnostic laboratories, for routine respiratory disease testing and evaluation. Their widespread necessity and utilization in such facilities are propelling and distinguishing them as the preferred choice in healthcare settings.
   

Based on application, the spirometer market is segmented into asthma, COPD, cystic fibrosis, pulmonary fibrosis, and other applications. The COPD segment held leading revenue share in 2023 and is anticipated to reach USD 964 million by 2032.
 

• COPD predominantly affects older adults, and as the global population continues to age, the prevalence of COPD is expected to rise. Age-related changes in lung structure and function, combined with cumulative exposure to risk factors over time, contribute to the increasing burden of COPD among older individuals and necessitates the diagnostic testing among them.
   
• Additionally, sedentary lifestyles, poor dietary habits, smoking habits and increasing rates of obesity can contribute to the development and exacerbation of COPD. Cigarette smoking is among the primary cause of COPD, accounting for approximately 80-90% of all COPD cases. These lifestyle factors can lead to increased burden of COPD and anticipated to propel the demand for spirometers.
   

The spirometer market by end-use is categorized into hospitals and clinics, homecare settings, clinical laboratories, and other end users. The hospitals and clinics segment dominates the market with a revenue of around USD 555 million in 2023.
 

• Hospitals and clinics offer comprehensive healthcare services, including specialized testing and procedures. Spirometry testing is often conducted as part of routine health assessments or in response to respiratory symptoms, allowing healthcare providers to assess lung function and tailor treatment plans accordingly. These comprehensive care plans provided by hospitals makes them the primary end users of spirometers.
   
• Moreover, hospitals and clinics often serve as centers for medical research and education, where healthcare professionals conduct studies and train future generations of clinicians. Spirometry data collected in these settings contribute to research efforts aimed at advancing the understanding of respiratory diseases and improving treatment strategies. Hence hospitals and clinics are anticipated to be the dominant end users of spirometers.

North America spirometer market accounted for USD 368.9 million revenue in 2023 and is predicted to witness substantial market growth.
 

• In North America, access to healthcare services and insurance coverage are relatively better compared to other regions. This facilitates routine respiratory testing, including spirometry, in clinical settings such as hospitals, clinics, and primary care practices, anticipating driving the demand for spirometers in the region.
   
• Furthermore, North America is home to leading academic institutions, research centers, and medical schools that conduct studies and provide education in respiratory medicine. As a result, there is a continuous demand for spirometers in North America to support research initiatives, education in respiratory medicine, and the implementation of evidence-based practices in clinical settings.
