Research and development for medical devices are considered to be highly capital-intensive and carry huge risks. R&D is a crucial step, after which the best ideas are transformed into the finest products by prototyping, validation, and testing. MedTech companies are highly investing in R&D to produce innovative products. For instance, in 2023, ResMed invested US$ 307.52 million in research and development activities, representing 6.6% of its net revenues. With a continued focus on developing and commercializing new, innovative products and solutions, the company strives to improve patient outcomes, assist physicians and providers in managing chronic diseases, and reduce healthcare costs.

Furthermore, the government is increasingly investing in developing healthcare infrastructure and services. For Instance, Ontario government invests US$ 330 million annually for the development of pediatric health services, which connect children and youth to more convenient and high-quality care near home at hospitals, community-based healthcare facilities, and clinics across Ontario. Additionally, the Ontario Government has introduced the Community Action Programme for Children (CAPC), which provides funding to community groups that promote health development among children up to the age of 6 years. Therefore, increasing R&D investments for the development of new products and surging government funds to enhance pediatric healthcare are expected to contribute to the growth of the pediatric market in the coming years.

Based on product, the pediatric mask market is segmented into oxygen mask, nasal cannula, sleep apnea mask, and others. The oxygen mask segment held a larger pediatric mask market share in 2023, and the segment is expected to register a higher CAGR during 2023-2031. Oxygen masks are designed to deliver supplemental oxygen to patients and are among the critical medical devices. Specialized oxygen masks are necessary to ensure the safety, comfort, and effective administration of oxygen to infants and children. These masks cater to the unique anatomical and physiological characteristics of younger patients to ensure optimal outcomes in various clinical settings, including emergency care, surgery, and long-term respiratory support. The oxygen mask segment in pediatric mask market is driven by an increasing prevalence of respiratory diseases in children, the increasing awareness of pediatric healthcare needs, and the advancements in medical technologies. The demand for pediatric masks increased tremendously during the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting the importance of oxygen therapy. Additionally, the increasing prevalence of respiratory conditions, such as influenza, bronchitis, and common cold, among pediatric patients boosts the demand for oxygen masks. To maintain oxygen saturation, oxygen masks are used among pediatric patients. As per the report published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2024, ~58,000-80,000 children up to 5 years get hospitalized every year due to RSV infection in the US.

Based on modality, the market is bifurcated into disposable and reusable. The disposable segment held a larger pediatric mask market share in 2023, and the same segment is estimated to register a higher CAGR during 2023-2031. Disposable pediatric masks are single-use types that helps reduce the risk of cross-contamination. The masks allow ventilator application for spontaneously breathing patients who require respiratory support through noninvasive ventilation (NIV). Janus is a disposable mask that supports ventilation by NIV without removing the probe or interrupting the examination. The mask consists of two halves fixed in the upper extremity that is free in the lower so that it can be opened and closed easily around the probe. The mask can be used by clinicians in ICU, emergency departments, and other wards. The use of these masks does not require a ventilator as an effective respiratory support, and it can be easily delivered through manual bag ventilation with oxygen. These masks can be used to maintain or improve arterial oxygenation during various procedures in patients who have a risk of hypoxemia. Therefore, the rising requirement for high-quality disposable masks for patients who need NIV therapy propels the demand for disposable pediatric masks.

Based on end user, the market is segmented into hospitals, specialty clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, diagnostic centers, and others. The hospital segment held the largest pediatric mask market share in 2023, and the same segment is estimated to register the highest CAGR during 2023-2031. Development in hospital technologies, reforms in health insurance policies, economic growth of various regions, improved reimbursement programs, and various products and services provided are fueling the growth of the hospital segment in the pediatric mask market. Moreover, the growing prevalence of various respiratory diseases that are treated in hospitals, the increasing number of patients due to rising awareness about hospital services, and the establishment of new hospitals drive the segmental growth. In addition, the rising number of admissions for emergency cases that require NIV treatment due to respiratory or lung failure fuels the segment growth in the pediatric mask market.
