The Global Market for Medical Oxygen Systems is Projected to Reach US$1.6 Billion by 2020
Product Innovations Drive Growth in Medical Oxygen
Systems Market, According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
GIA announces the
release of a comprehensive global report on Medical Oxygen Systems. The
global market for Medical Oxygen Systems is projected to reach US$1.6 billion by
2020, driven by rising incidence of respiratory diseases, growing
preference for treatment at home, and product innovations.
Medical oxygen
systems are prescribed as a part of Oxygen Therapy to patients suffering from
acute or chronic respiratory malfunction and disorders. Besides providing life
support, these systems provide other benefits such as easing tightness of
breath, improving sleeping patterns especially in sleep apnea cases, and reducing
fatigue. Aging population, rising prevalence of respiratory diseases, and increase
in number of LTOT (long-term oxygen therapy) patients are major factors driving
the demand for medical oxygen systems. The market is also driven by other influences
such as growing prominence of home healthcare concept, product innovations, and
increasing awareness about chronic respiratory diseases among patients. Also, changing
patient lifestyles and ambulation requirements are driving demand for portable
oxygen systems.
Technological
innovations in the oxygen therapy market are shaped by both economics and
treatment therapy. Companies are focused on designing products that improve the
quality of life of patients, are clinically efficacious and also fit the current
reimbursement model. Innovative stationary and ambulatory oxygen systems have
been introduced in recent years that enable patients to lead an active life.
Over the decades, consumer preference has grown towards systems that are light,
compact and that provide greater patient mobility. Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POCs) have gained increased adoption over
the years with the incorporation of more user friendly options such as extra
safety features and improved aesthetics. Another area gaining significance is
supplemental oxygen systems such as home
transfilling systems that provide patients the freedom to fill their cylinders
according to their own schedule.
As stated by the
new market research report on Medical
Oxygen Systems, the United States
represents the single largest market worldwide. Asia-Pacific emerges as
the fastest growing market with a projected CAGR of 9.0% over the analysis
period. Key factors driving growth in the region include increasing prevalence
of respiratory disorders, improving healthcare system and preference for
treatment at home.
Key players covered
in the report include Chart Industries Inc., DeVilbiss Healthcare, Invacare
Corporation, Inogen, Philips Healthcare, Terumo Corporation, and Weinmann
Geräte für Medizin GmbH + Co. KG., among others.
