The global nasometry devices market is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period. This is attributed to the rising prevalence of nasal diseases such as nasal deformities, chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), and nasal obstruction. Nasometry devices help in the accurate assessment and evaluation of nasal airway which further helps physicians in determining appropriate surgical procedures and treatment. Technological advancements in these devices, increasing awareness regarding nasal diseases, and growing adoption of minimally invasive Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) procedures are further expected to propel the market growth. However, high costs of these devices and inadequate reimbursement policies may hinder the market growth to some extent during the analysis period.

Growing Geriatric Population

As life expectancy continues to increase globally, the aged population is growing at an accelerated pace. Older individuals are more prone to develop nasal issues, such as nasal obstruction, hyposmia, chronic sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, and polyps, due to a weaker immune system and other age-related health changes. This has substantially boosted the clinical significance of olfaction assessment in elderly care. Nasometry devices enable the objective and standardized evaluation of sense of smell in older adults, which is crucial in the early diagnosis of neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. Furthermore, loss of sense of smell can negatively impact nutritional habits and quality of life. Therefore, growing geriatric demographic demanding smell assessment solutions is primed to drive the nasometry devices market.

Traditional smell identification tests relying on felt-tip pens or scratch-and-sniff booklets lacked standardization and afforded only qualitative analyses. However, the introduction of advanced computerized nasometry systems equipped with multiple cartridges emitting standardized odorants has enabled quantitative measurement of olfactory functions. These systems analyze variables such as odor identification, detection threshold, and odor memory. Their ease of use and ability to generate reproducible printouts of olfactory test results have boosted their adoption across clinical research centers and smell clinics. Furthermore, continuous efforts to enhance software interfaces and optimize functionalities such as remote data collection are making smell testing more practical and accessible. This is expected to bolster the demand for technologically sophisticated nasometry devices with improved efficiency and reliability.
