CUSTOMERS DEMAND VALUE FOR MONEY FROM ANESTHESIA AND RESPIRATORY DEVICES

A large patient population with lung diseases and an increase in the number of surgeries performed are driving demand for anesthesia and respiratory devices. However, manufacturers must strive to offer greater value to their price sensitive customers in order to sustain this demand in the long run. New analysis from Frost & Sullivan, United States Anesthesia and Respiratory Device Markets, reveals that revenues in this market totaled $427.9 million in 2004 and is projected to reach $630.8 million in 2011.
