Summary

The country is known for its emphasis on technology and innovation. South Korea has likely seen advancements in ventilator technology, with a focus on smart features, connectivity, and user-friendly interfaces. South Korea has a well-developed healthcare infrastructure. The country's healthcare system has likely played a role in the accessibility and distribution of ventilators, ensuring that healthcare facilities are well-equipped to handle respiratory emergencies. South Korea, like several other developed nations, has an ageing population. The prevalence of respiratory conditions tends to increase with age, and this demographic trend impacts the demand for ventilators. South Korea places a significant emphasis on preventive healthcare measures. Ventilators play a role not only in treating respiratory conditions but also in preventive measures to ensure early intervention and management. The adoption of home healthcare services has been a global trend, and South Korea is no exception. The ventilator market sees growth in the home healthcare sector, allowing patients to receive respiratory support in the comfort of their homes. Governments often invest in upgrading and expanding healthcare infrastructure, including the procurement of essential medical equipment. Initiatives focused on enhancing hospital facilities and critical care capabilities include provisions for ventilators. Governments typically establish and enforce regulatory standards for medical devices to ensure their safety and efficacy. Initiatives related to maintaining and updating these standards can influence the manufacturing, import, and use of ventilators in the country.

According to the research report "South Korea Ventilator Market Overview, 2028," published by Bonafide Research, the South Korea Ventilator market is predicted to add more than USD 60 Million from 2023 to 2028. South Korea has a well-developed healthcare infrastructure with advanced medical facilities and a strong emphasis on providing high-quality healthcare services. The demand for ventilators is driven by the need to enhance critical care capabilities in hospitals and healthcare institutions. South Korea is known for its technological innovation. The demand for ventilators will be influenced by the availability of advanced technologies, including smart monitoring, connectivity features, and user-friendly interfaces that improve patient care and outcomes. The prevalence of respiratory conditions, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and respiratory infections, contributes significantly to the demand for ventilators. These devices are essential in managing patients with compromised respiratory function. South Korea actively engages in global health collaborations and partnerships. Knowledge exchange and collaboration with international organisations can influence the adoption of best practices and advancements in respiratory care, potentially driving the demand for ventilators. The focus on patient-centred care encourages the use of advanced medical technologies to improve patient outcomes. Ventilators, as critical respiratory support devices, align with the goal of providing personalised and effective healthcare. Similar to global trends, there is a growing interest in home healthcare in South Korea. The demand for portable and home-use ventilators may increase as part of efforts to provide respiratory support to patients in the comfort of their homes.

Based on mobility, they are segmented into the Instruments/Ventilator Machines and Portable/Transportable Ventilators, among them in Australia. Portable/transportable ventilators are a growing market. Technological advancements are leading to the development of smaller, lighter, and more user-friendly portable and transportable ventilators. These advancements are making ventilators more accessible to patients who require respiratory support outside of traditional hospital settings. The demand for home-based care is increasing in South Korea as patients and their families seek more comfortable and cost-effective alternatives to hospital care. Portable or transportable ventilators are essential for providing respiratory support to patients in home settings, allowing them to maintain their independence and quality of life. The South Korean government is actively supporting the development and adoption of portable and transportable ventilators. This support includes funding research and development, providing subsidies for ventilator purchases, and implementing policies that promote the use of ventilators in home settings.

According to the report, the end users are segmented into hospitals, ambulatory surgical centres, home healthcare, and others; among them, home healthcare is a growing market. The South Korean government is actively promoting home healthcare as a way to reduce healthcare costs and improve patient outcomes. The government has implemented several policies to support home healthcare, including providing financial assistance to patients and carers and funding research and development of new home healthcare technologies. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of home healthcare in South Korea. The pandemic has made people more aware of the risks of healthcare-acquired infections (HAIs), and this has led to an increased demand for home healthcare services. Technological advancements are making it possible to provide more complex medical care at home. New technologies, such as telemedicine and remote monitoring, are making it easier for healthcare providers to monitor and manage patients at home. Cultural factors are also contributing to the rise of home healthcare in South Korea. Koreans traditionally place a high value on family and community, and this has led to a preference for providing care for elderly and disabled family members at home.

In terms of the indication types, they include cardiovascular disorders and hypertension, cancer, respiratory diseases, diabetes, movement disorders, wound care, pregnancy, hearing disorders, and other indications, among them in South Korea. Diabetes has led to a growth in the ventilator market. Diabetes is a major risk factor for respiratory infections. When a person with diabetes has a respiratory infection, it can be more difficult for their lungs to clear the infection, which can lead to respiratory failure. This is why people with diabetes are more likely to be hospitalised for respiratory infections and more likely to need ventilators to help them breathe. Diabetes can also damage the nerves that control the lungs. This can make it harder for the lungs to work properly, and it can also make people with diabetes more susceptible to respiratory infections. The South Korean government is aware of the link between diabetes and respiratory problems and is taking steps to address this issue. The government has funded research into new treatments for respiratory infections in people with diabetes and has also implemented programmes to promote healthy lifestyle habits that can help reduce the risk of diabetes.
