Oxygen Concentrator Devices Market Size, Share, and COVID-19 Impact Analysis, By Type (Portable, Stationary), By Delivery System (Continuous Flow and Pulse Flow), By Application (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Asthma, Respiratory Distress Syndrome, and Others), By End-User (Hospitals & Clinics, Home Care Settings, and Others), and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Oxygen concentrator devices play an important role in managing chronic lung disease patients. These devices are referred to as a safe source of oxygen-enriched air. As per the data provided by the American Thoracic Society, the number of adults using supplemental oxygen in the U.S. for several disorders has crossed 1.5 million. Thus, with the growing demand for oxygen therapy, the market for oxygen concentrator devices has gained traction in recent years. Additionally, the market is witnessing a shift from inpatient oxygen therapy to outpatient/at-home therapy. Moreover, the growing prevalence of respiratory diseases, increasing adoption of portable devices, and strategic initiatives undertaken by key players are other factors propelling the market growth.

• For instance, according to American Lung Association, in 2020, 12.5 million people were diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic bronchitis, or emphysema in the U.S.

Furthermore, the convenience associated with using these devices, the user-friendly interface, and the increasing geriatric population are expected to supplement the oxygen concentrator devices market growth in the near future.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Oxygen Concentrator Devices Market

The recent outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic had a positive impact on the global oxygen concentrator devices market. Owing to the overcrowded hospitals, and lack of availability of ventilators in limited resource settings, the demand for oxygen concentrators drastically increased during the pandemic. Patients who are not in requirement of ventilator support can be treated with the help of oxygen concentrators.  Additionally, the increasing number of patients undergoing COVID-19 treatment at home also bolstered the demand for oxygen concentrators.

• For instance, as of February 2021, to support the scale-up of the oxygen supply in low to middle-income countries, the World Health Organization (WHO) had distributed more than 30,000 concentrators in around 121 countries worldwide.
