Medical Gas And Equipment Market Size, Share, Opportunities, And Trends By Type (Medical Gas (Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, Nitrogen, Nitrous Oxide, Medical Air, Helium), Medical Gas Equipment), By Application (Therapeutic Condition, Respiratory Therapy, Cardiovascular Therapy, Others), By End User (Hospitals, Home Healthcare, Pharmaceutical Companies, Academic & Research Institutes, Emergency Services), And By Geography - Forecasts From 2024 To 2029

The medical gas and equipment market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.21%, reaching a market size of US$116.374 billion in 2029 from US$62.829 billion in 2022.

Medical gases and equipment are regarded as a category of medical equipment that includes nitrogen, oxygen, and helium among others. The medical gas equipment market can be classified into three categories such as that of pure gas, and mixtures of one or more components including air, nitrous oxide, and carbon dioxide which are regarded to be essential in multiple healthcare and medical applications. Medical equipment includes ventilators, oxygen concentrators, gas delivery systems, anaesthesia machines, respiratory therapy devices, hyperbaric chambers, and medical gas cylinders. These devices are crucial in various medical disciplines and are regulated by regulatory bodies like the FDA for quality and safety.

The rise in a few chronic disorders such as cancer, diabetes, asthma, and cardiovascular disorders will act as a major driver accelerating the medical gas-equipment market’s growth rate. Moreover, the upsurge relating to the incidences of preterm births, and the growing prevalence of respiratory diseases, especially on account of the increasing count of tobacco smokers including the mounting pollution level is boosting the market domain.

Moreover, the involvement of the various public organizations in supporting the adoption of this medical gas equipment is further leading to propel the domain size. Additionally, announcements were made by the FDA in 2019, regarding the updating of its CGMP regulations to include a new design which is a necessity of oxygen supply to supply compartments and closure, including a new color and labeling to make them easily distinguishable and to further lead in reducing the risk of gas pollution.

MARKET DRIVER:

• The rise in demand from hospitals is anticipated to spur the market growth

Medical gas and equipment play an imperative role in the hospital industries which are witnessing a significant surge in demand with the increasing number of hospitals across the globe. To deliver and provide efficient treatment to patients requiring critical care, there are various medical equipment such as cryogenic products, flowmeters, regulators, and even medical air compressors and others as well. This equipment is therefore mainstay in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) to Operation Theatres (OTs) across hospitals.

With such an increase in the demand for medical gas and equipment in the healthcare industry, multiple government funds in healthcare are increasingly investing which is driving the market growth. For instance, taking the example of India, the healthcare sector in India is expanding at a brisk pace, especially since the government has allowed foreign direct investment (FDI) in the industry. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in Vietnam for every 1% increase in per capita GDP, public spending on healthcare has surged by 1.7% since 2000.

• Rising incidence of chronic diseases will surge the growth of the market

The medical gas and equipment market is expected to experience sustained growth due to the increasing prevalence of chronic respiratory conditions, cardiovascular diseases, home healthcare needs, the aging population, critical care and emergency medicine, preventive healthcare measures, technological advancements, and increased focus on respiratory health. Chronic respiratory conditions like COPD and asthma require medical gases like oxygen for therapeutic purposes, while cardiovascular diseases, including heart failure, may require oxygen for patients experiencing respiratory distress. The growing preference for home healthcare fuels the demand for portable and home-use medical gas equipment, including devices for oxygen therapy and other respiratory support. Technological advancements in medical gas delivery systems and equipment contribute to improved patient care and management of chronic diseases. Public health campaigns and initiatives focusing on respiratory health also contribute to increased awareness of chronic respiratory conditions, leading to earlier diagnosis and treatment.

North America is anticipated to hold a significant amount of the market share

North America will witness a surge in this market during the projected period. The medical gas equipment market of North America dominates in terms of its market share and market revenue which is said to flourish its dominance during the forecast period. The presence of key players in the North American region along with the well-established healthcare including the pharmaceutical region is the few driving factors leading towards the dominance of North America in the medical gas equipment market. North America's advanced healthcare infrastructure, strict regulatory standards, high healthcare expenditure, technological advancements, and growing demand for home healthcare contribute to its dominant market position in the medical gas and equipment industry.

Additionally, the US is said to account for a higher sales value in the region which is further driven by the presence of multiple healthcare facilities. Furthermore, the current increase in the use of home-based therapy in the US is resulting in the medical gas equipment market experiencing a rise in standards and even analysis including various delivery procedures.
