Spirometer Market

Report Overview

The global spirometer market was pegged at ~US$ 785 million in 2020 and is expected to witness a CAGR of ~10.8% during the forecast period.

Market Fundamentals

The common test used for diagnosis of respiratory diseases is known as spirometry. A spirometer is an instrument for measuring the air entering and leaving the lungs and is used for diagnosis of respiratory diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic bronchitis, and other conditions that affect breathing. These devices can also be used in monitoring respiratory diseases such as asthma. Spirometer can help distinguish between diseases with similar symptoms and determine whether the condition is obstructive or restrictive. Even though the test is simple and easy, the person may feel short of breath or dizziness.
