Oxygen Therapy Market

Global Oxygen Therapy Market Size (2024 to 2032)

The global oxygen therapy market is expected to grow at a significant CAGR of 10.12% from 2024 to 2032 and be worth USD 29.79 billion by 2032 from USD 13.78 billion in 2024.

Oxygen therapy applies to numerous diseases, for instance, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, respiratory distress syndrome, and obstructive sleep apnea. In addition, long-term oxygen treatments in patients suffering from chronic lung disease are believed to enhance the length and quality of life, contributing to the swift development of the global oxygen therapy market.

Current Scenario of the Global Oxygen Therapy Market 

Oxygen therapy is a treatment that provides patients with extra oxygen to breathe in, which is known to be supplemental oxygen. Supplemental oxygen therapy helps people with COPD, COVID-19, sleep apnea, and other breathing problems get enough oxygen to function. The global oxygen therapy market has witnessed prominent growth in the past years and is projected to have a significant growth rate during the forecast period. The rising prevalence of COPD and asthma cases is enhancing the demand for oxygen therapies, contributing to the global market revenue. According to the data published by the Global Asthma Network (GAN), asthma affects nearly 334 million people worldwide. The pandemic had a highly positive impact on oxygen therapies as COVID-19 highly affected the respiratory system of the people. The increased patient pool worldwide will accelerate the growth opportunities in the coming years. 

MARKET DRIVERS

Technological advancements in respiratory care services and Y-O-Y growth in the inclination of patients for convenient home oxygen therapy devices are propelling the global oxygen therapy market growth.

Different oxygen treatments are utilized to treat various respiratory infections due to their supplementary and definitive role. The advantages of oxygen therapy include increased mental stamina, aversion to heart failure, and an enhanced breathing pattern. The growth of the global oxygen therapy market is further predicted to be driven by expanding the application of oxygen supply. The administration and supply of supplementary oxygen have become an indispensable part of managing numerous diseases.

The adoption of oxygen therapy is accelerating worldwide due to the potential benefits of controlled flow rate, efficient dosing, faster response rates, and increased durability and reliability. The factors mentioned above are expected to stimulate the expansion of the market. In addition, the growing popularity and adoption of on-demand and continuous portable oxygen concentrators (POCs) in a wide range of applications, such as emergency medicine, are also expected to fuel demand for years to come. This increase is attributable to the entry of global competitors into the market, consumer demand for wearable technologies, and the clinical urgency of increased mobility support for the geriatric population.

The growing geriatric population worldwide and the increasing prevalence of respiratory disorders in the elderly result in a preference for oxygen therapy, one of the significant factors expected to drive the growth of the global market. Besides, the growing preference for home healthcare, coupled with the availability of state-of-the-art infrastructure that supports effective patient care in developed countries, is another factor that is expected to facilitate the growth of the target market.

Besides, the increase in the incidence of pneumonia and other lung diseases and the increase in the percentage of newborns with respiratory problems results in a greater uptake of oxygen therapy, which should, among other things, factors support the growth of the world market. According to the WHO, pneumonia is the leading cause of death in children worldwide; each year, around 1.6 million children under the age of five accounts for 19% of all deaths. Also, the increase in public spending for the development of health infrastructure, coupled with a favorable regulatory scenario, is another factor expected to support market growth. Furthermore, increased investments by significant players in technological advancement and the development of advanced oxygen delivery systems are expected to create new revenue opportunities for players operating in the target market during the forecast period.

The market is further expected to grow through continuous innovation, which will result in more efficient units and lower prices. In addition, the growing patient population is expected to drive demand for these products. This substantial increase in demand is expected to stimulate the market in future years. In addition, the advent of advanced oxygen sources and delivery devices that provide efficient patient care is expected to boost the market. These advances include flow control devices, sensors, and delivery devices with pulse dosimeters.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

However, the complex regulatory framework is a significant factor that is expected to hamper the growth of the global market. Also, the lack of developed infrastructure in developing countries to support home treatment is another factor that is expected to challenge the development of the worldwide market. Be that as it may, inadequate compensation and continuously changing regulations related to oxygen therapy devices are expected to hamper the growth of the global oxygen therapy market soon. Even though the worldwide oxygen therapy market expects hindrances due to a couple of restrictions, it will discover new development opportunities in growing economies.
