Overview

Respiratory & Sleep Devices covers manufacturers of CPAP systems, ventilators, portable oxygen concentrators, and sleep-diagnostic equipment. The sleep-apnea market (ResMed, and Philips Respironics before its major device recall) is the largest piece, with the Philips recall having significantly reshaped competitive share.

Demand is driven by the high prevalence and rising diagnosis of sleep apnea and respiratory conditions, with recurring mask and supply revenue. The category is consolidated, and the GLP-1/obesity dynamic adds a long-term question for sleep-apnea volumes. It sits within broad instrument manufacturing in the federal data.
