Portable Oxygen Concentrators Market

Global Portable Oxygen Concentrators Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The global portable oxygen concentrators market size is forecasted to be worth USD 2.71 billion by 2029 from USD 1.84 billion in 2024, registering a CAGR of 8.08% between 2024 to 2029.

A portable oxygen concentrator is a medical device used to supply oxygen to patients suffering from respiratory-related problems. Concentrators are used to differentiate or divide the nitrogen and oxygen present in the air and dispose of away the nitrogen. Then 95% of the pure oxygen is taken and supplied to the patients through the oxygen mask. These devices are smaller and are easy to carry, and lightweight during traveling. Patients can easily do their regular activities, which makes them lead a free lifestyle.

MARKET DRIVERS

The growing prevalence of COPD, respiratory distress syndrome, asthma prevalence and other respiratory diseases worldwide are propelling the growth of the global portable oxygen concentrators market.

The global portable oxygen concentrators market is further majorly supported by factors such as the increasing patient population suffering from COPD and asthma from worldwide. An estimated 300 million people have asthma worldwide, which is further predicted to reach 4.5 million by 2030. The growing aging population around the world is estimated to add fuel to the market's growth rate. The transition from conventional cylinders to portable oxygen concentrators would fuel the demand for portable oxygen concentrators. The increasing concentration of players in emerging markets, on the other hand, is expected to boost demand for POC during the forecast period. The primary growth drivers for the market in North America are well-established health infrastructure, the involvement of key players, and rising knowledge of advanced care methods. Favorable reimbursement programs and increasing investment funding by government and private individuals are encouraged to market growth. Mergers and acquisitions between the regions encourage regional market development and create a platform for new market players, influencing market growth. 

MARKET RESTRAINTS

The risk of respiratory diseases due to unclean and contaminated equipment and adverse effects such as skin irritation is restraining the global portable oxygen concentrators market.

Also, reimbursement policies and government regulations on portable oxygen concentrators in some countries are likely to impede market growth. The global pandemic has created a supply chain disruption in the recent past, leading to a market growth decline. One of the main reasons impeding development is the high costs associated with it. The market growth is limited to some degree by the low number of permits for non-portable and single-use equipment. The lack of public knowledge about portable oxygen concentrators and a scarcity of qualified practitioners can curtail global market growth.

Impact Of COVID-19 On The Global Portable Oxygen Concentrators Market

Many lives across the world have been suffering due to Coronavirus, especially those who need time-to-time healthcare. The market for portable oxygen concentrators is expected to see significant growth because of the health damage that happened to people worldwide because of COVID-19. These products are light in weight and easy to carry, increasing the demand for these products in these COVID times. The supply of oxygen cylinders and concentrators has enormously increased in recent days, and the same is reflected in the growth of the portable oxygen cylinders market. During the pandemic, the manufacturers of oxygen cylinders have received support and encouragement from the governments to produce these products, and even the U.S. FDA has extended its support. Inogen, one of the notable companies that manufacture portable oxygen concentrators, introduced a new product called “Inogen One G5” during the COVID-19 times.
