MARKET INSIGHTS

The global Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) Service market size was valued at USD 272 million in 2024. The market is projected to grow from USD 285 million in 2025 to USD 345 million by 2031, exhibiting a CAGR of 3.6% during the forecast period.

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) provides extended cardiac and respiratory support to persons whose heart and lungs cannot adequately function to sustain life. ECMO/ECLS (Extracorporeal Life Support) supports patients facing life-threatening situations, such as heart or lung failure due to illness, after cardiac surgery, or as a bridge for patients awaiting a lung transplant or heart assist device.

The market is experiencing steady growth due to several factors, including increased adoption of advanced life support technologies in critical care, rising prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, and growing acceptance of ECMO as a standard of care in complex cardiac and respiratory failure cases. Additionally, improvements in ECMO technology and circuit design that have reduced complications and improved patient outcomes are contributing to market expansion. The COVID-19 pandemic significantly increased ECMO utilization globally, with ECMO proving to be a life-saving intervention for many patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia. This increased clinical experience and data collection is expected to further drive adoption in coming years.
