1. Therapeutic Application:
- Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a common respiratory disorder that affects a significant portion of the population. BiPAP devices are widely used in the treatment of sleep apnea as they provide two levels of air pressure (higher pressure during inhalation and lower pressure during exhalation), making the therapy more comfortable and effective. The increasing prevalence of sleep apnea and its associated complications is driving the demand for BiPAP devices in this sub-segment.
2. End-user:
- Home Care Settings
The growing preference for home-based treatment options and the advancements in technology have led to the increased adoption of BiPAP devices in home care settings. These devices offer convenience, comfort, and ease of use to patients, allowing them to undergo therapy in the comfort of their own homes. The rising geriatric population and the need to reduce healthcare costs are also contributing to the growth of this sub-segment.
