Inhalation anesthetics (such as nitrous oxide, halothane, isoflurane, desflurane, and sevoflurane; most commonly used agents in practice today) are used for induction and maintenance of general anesthesia in the operating room. Inhaled anesthetics are preferred for maintenance of anesthesia because they allow a more precise control of the anesthetic state and do so at low cost.
Market Dynamics
Increasing prevalence of chronic disease, growing geriatric (aging) population, increasing number of emergency cases and surgical interventions, increase in demand for inhalation anesthesia, and outbreak of COVID-19 (pandemic) are major factors expected to augment the growth of the global inhalation anesthesia market during the forecast period.
For instance, in August 2022, Piramal Pharma Limited's Critical Care business, a leading Complex Hospital Generics company, announced the First to Market Generic U.S. launch of the Zinc Sulfate Injection.
