China ICU Ventilator Market

Contents

ICU Ventilators

Intensive-care Unit (ICU) ventilators offer a wide range of breathing patterns, pressure controls, alarms and sensors. They use compressed oxygen and other gases stored in cylinders, ambient air or a mixture of both. Breathing circuits for these ventilators are double-limbed and can be quite complex. These ventilators are made for bedside use in the intensive-care units of hospitals. The key data provided by the device include:

Market Assessment Model

The market data for ICU ventilators in China is not readily available in public domain. There are paid reports published by various market research firms in which the data is either modeled using indicators or collected through primary research methods.

To arrive at the market size of ICU Ventilators in China for 2011, we have used the following methodology. We have considered only adult ICU Ventilators in this study.

Assumptions: Each ICU bed will be equipped with one ventilator.

Number of ICU Beds

According to 2010 census, the total population of China is estimated as 1,339,724,852. The number of hospital beds in China as per WHOSIS is 22 per 10,000 population. A research paper on critical care medicine in mainland China which analyzed many papers including the one from China Critical Care Clinical Trial Group (CCCCTG) estimated the % of ICU beds as total number of hospital beds as 1.8%.

China Population, 2010 1,339,724,852
Hospital Beds per 10,000 in China 22
Number of hospital beds 2,947,395
ICU beds as % of total hospital beds 1.8%
Number of ICU beds in China, 2010 53,053

Estimate of yearly growth in ICU Beds

China has taken proactive measures to control the population growth and hence it would not be a relevant indicator for growth in ICU beds. There are several factors to be considered in estimating the growth rate of ICU beds in China.

Country No. of hospital beds per 10,000 No. of ICU beds as % of total hospital beds
China 22 1.8%
USA 31 9.0%
France 73 2.5%
UK 39 1.2%
Canada 34 3.4%
Germany 83 4.1%
