Report Overview
Global Medical Oxygen Gas Cylinders Market reached US$ 93.17 million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 264 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 10.16% during the forecast period 2024-2031.
Medical oxygen gas cylinders are widely used by medical personnel for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes. It is made of low-carbon steel and can store 30% more gas than an aluminum cylinder of equivalent size. It contains high-purity oxygen utilized in medical treatments and has been specifically designed for use in the human body.
Oxygen cylinders allow for the portable and safe storage of compounds needed in a medical setting. These are useful for medical use oxygen, hospital, and patient breathing.
Market Dynamics: Drivers & Restraints
Increased exposure to pollutants
Long-term exposure to particle air pollution has been associated with higher death and morbidity rates. For instance, outdoor air quality plays a more significant role in the progression and development of COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) in developing regions than in developed areas.
COPD is most often caused by long-term exposure to irritating smoke, fumes, dust, or chemicals. The most common cause is cigarette smoke. Emphysema and chronic bronchitis are the two most common types of COPD. These two conditions usually occur together and can vary in severity among people with COPD.
The increasing prevalence of these conditions is expected to increase the demand for medical oxygen cylinders in home care settings as well as hospitals. Patients and healthcare providers adopt suitable medical oxygen cylinders that are portable and easy to carry.
High cost of oxygen gas cylinders
Patients' access to medical oxygen can be restricted by high expenses, especially for those who live in developing or low-income areas. This may result in differences in the accessibility and quality of care, which could hinder market expansion as a whole. Medical facilities could find it difficult to afford the high costs of buying and maintaining oxygen cylinders, particularly smaller or more remote ones. This may affect the demand in the market as fewer facilities may be able to provide oxygen therapy or may choose to use alternative methods.
Market Segment Analysis
The global medical oxygen gas cylinders market is segmented based on product, technology, end-user and region.
The continuous flow segment is expected to dominate the market share
The continuous flow segment accounted for the largest market share and it is expected to continue throughout the forecast period. The rise in lifestyle habits like smoking & consumption of alcohol and the increase in the geriatric population are some factors due to which the market is expected to boost the market growth in the forecast period.
The change in lifestyle habits is rising disease conditions which are increasing the demand for continuous-flow oxygen cylinders. For instance, the World Health Organization in 2023 stated that Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of death worldwide. COPD is usually caused by cigarette smoking, though long-term exposure to other lung irritants, like secondhand smoke, can also contribute to COPD.
Continuous flow oxygen cylinders ensure a steady delivery of medical-grade oxygen for various therapeutic needs. These systems cater to home oxygen therapy and other specialized needs.
Market Geographical Analysis
North America is expected to hold a significant position in the medical oxygen gas cylinders market share
North America is expected to hold a significant position in the global medical oxygen gas cylinders market during the forecast period due to the increased prevalence of respiratory diseases, the presence of major market players, increasing strategies by the players and the increasing need in hospitals due to the increasing hospitalizations in the region.
For instance, according to the publication by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America in 2024, it is stated that over 27 million people in the U.S. have asthma. This equals about 1 in 12 people and over 22 million U.S. adults ages 18 and older have asthma.
Additionally, according to the report by the American Lung Association in 2022, it is stated that in 2022, 11.7 million people, or 4.6% of adults, reported a diagnosis of COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic bronchitis, or emphysema. COPD accounts for hundreds of thousands of emergency department visits and tens of billions in healthcare costs each year
