North America Capnography Equipment Market

The North America capnography equipment market is projected to reach USD 0.29 billion by 2031 from USD 0.23 billion in 2026, at a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period. The primary growth driver of the North America capnography equipment market is the use of anesthesia and procedural sedation during surgeries and diagnostic procedures. These procedures require continuous respiratory monitoring to ensure patient safety. Additionally, the rising prevalence of chronic respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, coupled with an aging population, has driven increased demand for real-time carbon dioxide (CO2) monitoring in hospitals, emergency departments, and intensive care units. Regulatory authorities strongly emphasize patient safety standards, which have accelerated the adoption of capnography in healthcare settings. Guidelines mandating capnography during sedation and mechanical ventilation, along with general patient safety standards requiring capnography monitoring, have contributed to this trend.

Moreover, the well-developed healthcare infrastructure, high healthcare expenditure, and rapid acceptance of cutting-edge patient monitoring technologies in the region are also driving market growth. The application of capnography is expanding due to its increased use among non-intubated patients, in ambulatory surgical centers, and within emergency medical services (EMS).

Some of the prominent players operating in the market include Medtronic (Ireland), Koninklijke Philips N.V. (Netherlands), Masimo (US), GE Healthcare (US), and Becton, Dickinson and Company (US), among others.

Medtronic, Koninklijke Philips N.V., Masimo, GE Healthcare, and Becton, Dickinson and Company primarily dominate the North America capnography equipment market due to their extensive patient monitoring product lines, strong brand image, and well-established relationships with hospitals and healthcare systems across the US and Canada. They have access to distribution channels, provide excellent after-sales services, and integrate capnography technologies closely with widely used multi-parameter monitoring platforms in critical care, operating rooms, and emergency settings. Their top positions are also supported by ongoing investments in research & development, which enable them to develop next-generation mainstream and sidestream capnography devices with greater accuracy, portability, and connectivity. Moreover, their adherence to rigorous regulatory standards, their ability to offer capnography as part of a bundle with other vital sign monitoring solutions, and their partnership strategies with healthcare providers and technology companies all contribute to increased adoption and customer loyalty, thereby maintaining their stronghold positions in the North America capnography equipment market.

In September 2025, Masimo’s renewed and expanded strategic partnership with Philips emphasizes accelerated integration of Masimo’s monitoring technologies, including NomoLine capnography sensors, into a wider range of Philips multi-parameter patient monitors and next-generation wearable platforms. The collaboration also plans to develop AI-enhanced monitoring tools that could accelerate innovation in capnography and other respiratory monitoring in North America hospitals and outpatient settings.

In June 2025, Philips and Medtronic deepened their long-standing collaboration with a new multi-year agreement to expand access to advanced patient monitoring technologies, starting in the North America market. Under this deal, Philips will integrate Medtronic’s core monitoring solutions, including Microstream capnography alongside pulse oximetry and other vital sign technologies, into Philips’ IntelliVue portfolio and bundle related consumables to simplify procurement for US and Canadian hospitals and care providers.

Medtronic (Ireland)

Medtronic is an Irish-based healthcare technology company at the forefront of the global market. Medtronic has a strong presence in the North America capnography equipment market through its Microstream capnography technology and its broader patient monitoring portfolio. The company’s Microstream products, which provide reliable end-tidal CO2 waveforms and respiratory rate data in both intubated and non-intubated patients, have become a staple in hospitals, intensive care units, ambulatory surgical centers, and emergency care settings throughout the US and Canada. Continuous respiratory monitoring helps clinicians identify respiratory issues early and rescue patients effectively. In association with developing new sensor modules for capnography and smart capnography algorithms that help reduce alarm fatigue and improve the clinical workflow, Medtronic’s solid market position is further strengthened. The company’s strategy to partner with leading monitor manufacturers is another key aspect of Medtronic’s approach. This collaboration has enabled the company to release capnography modules on multi-parameter platforms and has strengthened its relationships with Philips and Mindray in North America. As a result, this partnership supports the distribution of advanced respiratory monitoring technologies through top-tier healthcare institutions in the region.

Koninklijke Philips N.V. (Netherlands)

Koninklijke Philips N.V., commonly known as Philips, is a major Dutch multinational health technology company with a notable presence in the North America capnography equipment market. Philips capitalizes on its vast portfolios of Connected Care & Health Informatics and patient monitoring, and thus offers capnography capabilities across its multi-parameter monitors as well as standalone CO monitoring devices for use in operating rooms, intensive care units, emergency departments, and ambulatory care facilities. In North America, Philips’ powerful brand image, extensive distribution channels, and solid clinical relationships with hospital and health system networks facilitate the massive adoption of its capnography devices integrated with the patient monitoring systems.

Besides, the company is keen on improving its clinical meaningfulness through strategic collaborations and constant sensor technology upgrades, analytics, and interoperability with electronic health records, thereby helping to meet the demand for precise respiratory monitoring and enhanced patient safety in healthcare facilities in the US and Canada.

Market Ranking

The North America capnography equipment market is moderately consolidated, with major multinational patient monitoring companies leading the way. These companies have great hospital penetration and well-established service and distribution networks throughout the US and Canada. Because they have a large installed base of multi-parameter patient monitors with integrated capnography modules, broad sales reach, and long-standing relationships with major healthcare systems, Koninklijke Philips N.V., GE Healthcare, and Medtronic are key players leading the market in this region. Backed by its Microstream capnography technology, Medtronic still holds a significant market position due to the extensive use of its products in anesthesia, intensive care, and emergency care workflows. Through its proprietary NomoLine capnography and advanced sensor technologies, which are increasingly deployed in perioperative and acute care settings to provide accurate respiratory monitoring, Masimo is also expanding its market footprint. By focusing on airway management products, consumables, and integrated monitoring accessories that align well with hospital procurement systems, Becton, Dickinson and Company maintains a steady position. All these companies combined have a large share of the North America market due to their technological prowess, wide range of products, and their ability to support large-scale hospital and ambulatory care facility deployments.
