Oxygen Therapy Market Growth & Trends

The global oxygen therapy market size is expected to reach USD 40.1 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 10.4% during the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The increasing prevalence of major respiratory diseases, such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), asthma, and obstructive sleep apnea, is a high-impact rendering driver of the market. According to WHO, a global rise in the prevalence of asthma and other respiratory disorders is expected to enhance clinical urgency to treat these conditions and is expected to boost the demand for O2 therapy as the first-line treatment and as a supplement in various applications.

Moreover, technological advancements are anticipated to provide growth platforms in a wide range of new applications such as cancer and diabetes; for instance, the incorporation of flow sensors in delivery devices to conserve & regulate the flow enables greater patient comfort and outcomes. Furthermore, the increasing focus on home healthcare solutions coupled with the development of portable delivery devices has a major impact on the market. These factors are expected to significantly contribute to the market growth during the forecast period.

The COVID-19 pandemic has positively impacted the market for O2 therapy devices. Due to the outbreak, the demand for oxygen significantly increased, especially when the number of patients suffering from COVID-19 increased in hospitals. Moreover, pressure on oxygen supplies in hospitals has been caused by a large number of COVID-19 patients. Therefore, the demand for O2 therapy devices in the healthcare sector has increased and is expected to continue to increase significantly in the near future. Governments of various countries are focusing on expanding healthcare facilities in rural areas. With upcoming infrastructural projects, the demand for medical O2 is expected to substantially increase.
