MEA Medical Suction Devices Market

Middle East And Africa Medical Suction Devices Market Size & Growth (2023 to 2028)

The Middle East & Africa Medical Suction Devices Market size was worth USD 64.47 million in 2023. It is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.41% to reach USD 76.23 million by 2028 during the forecast period 2023 to 2028.

Biological liquid and solid waste pose a potential risk to the environment. The risk of reinfection and cross infections needs to be strictly monitored. The proper disposal of medical waste has become a priority for local governments and regulatory authorities. An increase in common respiratory diseases is the main driving factor in the MEA medical suction devices market. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says more than 32% of infections are contracted in hospitals. In a recent study conducted in Saudi Arabia to determine the prevalence of respiratory illnesses, among the 810 patients hospitalized with respiratory conditions, it was observed that COPD was one of the leading causes of hospitalization in patients with respiratory disorders. The increasing incidence rate of other chronic respiratory diseases, such as asthma and pneumonia, also drives the demand for MEA medical suction devices.

Another factor driving the market growth is increased healthcare expenditures in developed and developing economies in the MEA region. For instance, according to the recent NHA report, the healthcare expenditure in the United Arab Emirates rose by 27%, from USD 25 billion in 2016 to USD 30.52 billion in 2020. The Saudi Arabia healthcare market is estimated to reach $ 29 billion, at a CAGR of 8.8% in 2025. Pharmaceuticals and medical devices are likely to develop in UAE in the next few years. The domestic market for manufacturing and distribution was estimated to be around $ 2 billion in the year 2022, while the MENA market is expected to reach $ 11 billion by 2022 with annual growth of 7%.

The growing aging population and developing healthcare infrastructure in MEA countries like Turkey, Egypt, and others drive market growth. In addition, the ever-increasing number of surgeries, portable devices demand, and reduction in prices for suction devices are affecting the markets in the MEA region.

However, Stiff competition in the market and limited refund policies for portable medical suction devices will negatively impact the market in upcoming years.

Geographically, the Middle East medical suction device market is estimated to dominate the MEA medical suction device market, while Africa holds a minor market share. However, the UAE is expected to gain substantial market share in the Middle East market thanks to growing government support and favorable repayment policies due to the region's high prevalence of the chronic respiratory disease. In addition, supported by the increasing older age group population and improving surgical procedures in the UAE, the regional market is expected to expand rapidly during the evaluation period.

The Saudi Arabia medical suction device market is expected to be a lucrative market for MEA suction medical devices, attributed to the increasing number of surgeries due to increased medical tourism and increased adoption of home health care services and emergency care services. In terms of US dollars, Saudi Arabia spent $ 2225 per person on health in 2009, compared to over $ 4,700 per person paid in American countries. This is expected to help the market progress positively in the next few years.

The African medical suction device market spent 6.3% of its total GDP on healthcare, while other OECD countries spent nearly 9.6% on healthcare. Moreover, the per capita health expenditure was $ 84, way below the value of mid-income countries in 2010. All these numbers show the poor condition of the African healthcare system, which will, in turn, reflect on the studied market. However, South Africa is anticipated to have a slow sluggish growth rate.
