U.S. & ASIA PACIFIC PORTABLE MEDICAL OXYGEN CONCENTRATORS MARKET ANALYSIS

Portable oxygen concentrators is a device that provides oxygen therapy to patients at substantially higher concentrations than that of ambient air and keeps the level of oxygen in their blood stable. They are specialized to provide oxygen to patients with respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The concentrator separates nitrogen and oxygen from the air in the environment, discarding the nitrogen and supplying 95% pure oxygen to patients via a mask.

U.S. & Asia Pacific Portable Medical Oxygen Concentrators Market - Impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak was first reported on December 31, 2019, in Wuhan, China. The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 as pandemic on March 11, 2020.

Impact of COVID-19 on Demand and Supply of Portable Medical Oxygen Concentrators

The COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown in various countries across the globe has impacted the financial status of businesses across all sectors including private healthcare sector. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the entire supply chain of the healthcare industry mainly due to strict lockdown in several regions. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the economy of various regions across the globe in three main ways; 1) by directly affecting the production and demand; 2) by creating disruptions in distribution channels; and 3) through its financial impact on companies and financial markets. Several countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, and Singapore are facing problems with regards to transportation and distribution of healthcare products.

The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increasing demand for medical oxygen concentrators. COVID-19 is basically a respiratory disease that affects the lungs and, in severe cases causes the oxygen level to drop. Bilateral pneumonia is the main feature associated with COVID-19 and hence the demand of supplemental oxygen increased during COVID-19. Oxygen concentrators and liquid oxygen, among other tools, are used to increase the oxygen level. In shortage of liquid oxygen, oxygen concentrators are used for oxygen therapy as oxygen tanks have to be refilled but oxygen concentrators can work 24 x 7.

U.S. & Asia Pacific portable medical oxygen concentrators market is estimated to be valued at US$ 884.58 Mn in 2022, and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 7.4% over the forecast period (2022-2030).
