Growth Factors

The major growth factors of the Medical Oxygen Gas Cylinders Market are: The present situation with the Covid-19 pandemic, the current Covid-19 pandemic crisis is a primary driving force behind the global market's expansion. The rising number of Covid-19 patients worldwide, particularly in India, has resulted in a shortage of medical oxygen gas cylinders. As a result, government and non-government organizations are establishing new plants to meet the growing demand for medical oxygen cylinders, which is driving the global market forward. Millions of people have been infected by the new coronavirus all across the world. In severe situations, the infection can lead to pneumonia and breathing difficulties. As a result, patients are placed on ventilators, resulting in an increase in demand for medical oxygen gas cylinders. The oxygen value chain's vendors are working tirelessly to increase the supply of medical oxygen gas cylinders. Furthermore, there is a high need for portable medical oxygen cylinders for patients receiving treatment at home. As a result of the increase of Covid-19 cases, demand for medical oxygen gas cylinders is increasing, boosting the global medical oxygen gas cylinders market to new heights during the pandemic.

Increasing the frequency of COPD and other lung disorders, another important factor driving market expansion is the rising prevalence of COPD and other lung diseases. In 2017, about 16 million adults in the United States were diagnosed with COPD, over 9 million with chronic bronchitis, and 3.5 million with emphysema, according to the US government. Furthermore, COPD is the cause of approximately 7 million emergency department visits in the United States each year. The use of supplemental oxygen for a long time has increased the survival rate of COPD patients. As a result, the increased frequency of COPD and other lung disorders, as well as COPD patients' reliance on oxygen therapy products, are driving up demand for oxygen concentrators and cylinders.

Technology Segment Analysis :

Based on technology, market is segmented into Pulse Flow and Continuous Flow. In 2020, continuous flow had the highest revenue share of 90%. The use of medical oxygen concentrators is predicted to increase due to rapid technological advancements in new product development. Furthermore, the segment's growth is expected to be aided by the continued usage of respiratory equipment for oxygen therapy. Continuous flow oxygen concentrators are most commonly used by the elderly and bedridden patients. Furthermore, because the devices are not equipped with breath detecting technology, they are less expensive than pulse flow technology. Due to technological advancements, pulse flow technology in oxygen concentrators is expected to grow at the fastest rate over the forecast period. The method is more efficient and convenient than continuous flow, and it is mostly utilised by patients who require 450 to 1250 mL of oxygen per minute in short pulses. It is best for people that lead an active lifestyle. As a result, working professionals, frequent flyers, and athletes with COPD or other breathing problems are increasingly turning to concentrators that use this technology.

Application Segment Analysis

Based on application, market is segmented into Households, Respiratory Departments, Operating Rooms, and Emergency Room. With a revenue share of 58 percent in 2020, the home care segment dominated the entire oxygen cylinders market in terms of revenue. Over the projected period, the segment is predicted to rise due to increased demand for home healthcare oxygen therapies, as well as rising need for pure oxygen and technological improvements such as miniaturization of these medical equipment. The category is being driven by an improving standard of living and an increase in the use of home-based therapy, particularly in developed nations such as North America and Europe. Furthermore, nations with a substantial geriatric population, such as Germany, Japan, Italy, Monaco, and Austria, are likely to drive segment growth during the projected period.

Regional Segment Analysis

North America will account for 34.4% of total revenue in 2020. One of the major elements driving market expansion is the region's growing geriatric population. Due to a weakened immune system and a limited oxygen intake capacity, this group is prone to a variety of respiratory illnesses. Furthermore, government initiatives such as the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) authorization of the use of portable oxygen concentrators during air travel and the rising prevalence of severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease due to unhealthy lifestyles are contributing to regional market growth.

The Asia Pacific region is projected to grow at a CAGR of 13.3% over the forecast period.

Factors supporting market expansion in this region include the present pandemic situation with rising Covid-19 cases, increased government initiatives to meet the expanding need for medical oxygen gas cylinders, and major investment in healthcare infrastructure development. The rapidly growing geriatric population and the frequency of lung illnesses are two key factors driving regional market expansion. By 2050, one out of every four inhabitants in the region are expected to be over 60 years old. In the region's most developed countries, living and health standards have dramatically improved. Over the projection period, factors such as increased life expectancy, healthcare expenditure, and awareness of new technologies are likely to contribute to regional market growth.
