The global ventilator-associated pneumonia market is expected to exhibit significant growth over the forecast period. The market was valued at approximately USD 968.92 million in 2018 and is projected to register a 9.45% CAGR over the forecast period.
Ventilator-associated pneumonia is a type of lung infection that affects patients who are on ventilators. It is caused because of lung diseases, neurological diseases, and trauma.
Factors such as the growing prevalence of ventilator-associated pneumonia and increasing incidences of traumatic brain injury are expected to drive the market growth. According to a report published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in November 2017, the incidence rate for ventilator-associated pneumonia ranges from 5% to 67%, depending upon the case. Moreover, the increasing research and development expenditure for the development of effective treatment for the disease is further boosting the market growth.
However, factors such as expensive diagnostic tests, high ventilator charges, and inappropriate reimbursement scenarios are expected to hamper the market growth.
