Respiratory Diagnostics Market Dynamics
Driver: High prevalence of tobacco smoking
Smoking is the leading cause of COPD. According to WHO, tobacco kills up to half of its users and over 80% of the world's 1.3 billion tobacco users, who live in low- and middle-income countries. Furthermore, as per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), cigarette smoking remains the leading cause of preventable diseases, disabilities, and deaths in the US, accounting for over 480,000 deaths annually, including more than 41,000 deaths from secondhand smoke exposure. Another 16 million live with a serious illness such as lung cancer, COPD, and respiratory infections caused by smoking. Each year, the US spends more than USD 225 billion on medical care to treat smoking-related diseases in adults. Studies suggest that 12% of the US adults smoke cigarettes in 2023 as compared to 11% in 2022. Adults of the age of 18 to 29 years, smoke e-cigarettes. Thus, it is expected to boost the market.
Restraint: Unfavorable reimbursement scenario
Patient needs to pay out of their pockets for most tests due to the increased testing capabilities and reduced reimbursement received by insurance players. Reimbursement is mainly influenced by the test type and payers fee structure. The cost of complete diagnostic testing like respiratory analysis, sleep analysis, mechanical tests, PCR test kits, etc., is partially reimbursed by insurance payers such as that of Medicare and Medicaid.
A decline in insurance claims if about 5% to 10% is a nominal range for the insurer. Mainly, the severity of the disease and criticality are majorly responsible for determining the claims rate. Medicare payment amounts for CPT 95806 (unattended, simultaneous recording of sleep study, oxygen saturation, respiratory airflow, heart rate and respiratory effort, and thoracoabdominal movement) continue with a 15% decrease in global service payment from the previous year. The difference between the two codes is that CPT 95800 may include the use of Peripheral Arterial Tone technology and the requirement for the measurement of sleep time by the devices.
Opportunity: Growing awareness about ill effects of untreated sleep apnea
Globally, many countries are becoming increasingly conscious of the economic impact of untreated sleep apnea. In the US, the total economic cost of insufficient sleep is USD 43–46 billion, while undiagnosed moderate to severe sleep apnea in middle-aged adults may cause USD 3.4 billion in additional medical costs (Source: ResMed). The estimated financial burden of OSA (including healthcare costs, lost productivity, and road and work-related accidents) in Australia is in the range of USD 2 to 8 billion per year (Source: Snore Australia).
Obstructive sleep apnea poses a significant threat to heart health, with potential long-term consequences extending to various related ailments such as cardiovascular disease, congestive heart failure, type 2 diabetes, stroke, and other sleep disturbances. Additionally, cognitive and memory impairments can result from undiagnosed sleep apnea, impacting not only a person's health but also their career, financial stability, and overall well-being. According to ResMed, individuals with obstructive sleep apnea face a 140% higher risk of heart failure, a 60% increased risk of stroke, and a 30% elevated risk of coronary heart disease. Remarkably, up to 83% of patients with type 2 diabetes may have undetected sleep apnea.
The severity of these cognitive diseases emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis, as it can significantly influence various aspects of an individual's life. Fortunately, government initiatives, healthcare campaigns, and check-up camps are creating ample opportunities for the detection of such insidious diseases. These efforts contribute to an expanding market space, allowing for increased awareness, diagnosis, and intervention in the realm of obstructive sleep apnea and its associated health risks.
Challenge: Low awareness and lack of diagnosis of respiratory diseases
Despite their high prevalence, major respiratory diseases such as asthma and COPD are significantly underdiagnosed and undertreated, particularly in developing economies. This is primarily attributed to the low awareness surrounding these conditions and the insufficient availability of resources for accurate diagnosis. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), over 90% of COPD deaths and 80% of asthma-related deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries.
COPD, a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality, poses a significant diagnostic challenge. Community-based studies across continents, including Europe, Australia, North and South America, and Asia, indicate that approximately 10 to 12% of adults aged 40 years or older exhibit persistent airflow limitation on spirometry. However, only 20 to 30% of these individuals receive a formal COPD diagnosis. In the United States alone, nearly 16 million adults succumb to COPD-related deaths without a prior diagnosis.
The lack of awareness and a substantial undiagnosed population pose significant challenges to the respiratory diagnostics market, hindering its potential for addressing and mitigating the impact of these respiratory diseases on global health.

Rise in smoking culture among young adults, exposure to chemical dusts, increased allergy to pollens in growing adults in developed countries, and increase in declined air quality mainly in emerging nations.
One of the major causes of COPD is tobacco smoking. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as many as 8 in 10 COPD-related deaths are due to smoking. Additionally, rising indoor and outdoor air pollution levels, exposure to dust and chemicals are other factors driving the prevalence of COPD.
The hospital settings segment of the respiratory diagnostics industry is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
The respiratory diagnostics market is segmented into hospital, diagnostic laboratories, and others like universities, research institutions, and smaller study centers. The hospital region accounted for the highest CAGR mainly due to the large number of of admissions for respiratory diseases, increased advantage of in house testing capabilities, rise in pulmonary diseases and severity of the same, and availability of early diagnostic results and care under the same roof is the primary contributor to the growth of this market segment.
