Segmentation Analysis:

By Product:

In 2023, the pure gases segment was the largest and most critical product category, responsible for more than 57% of total market revenue. And for millions of chronic lung disease patients, including the 64 million in the world with COPD, oxygen stays the backbone treatment. It is still an important anaesthetic gas for surgery and dental work. The need for high-purity gases adherence to strict quality and safety standards during transit has delivered technological advancements in ventilators, anesthesia machines, and portable oxygen concentrators to boost equipment demand.

By Application:

Therapeutic applications accounted for 39% of the market revenue in 2023, highlighting the importance of medical gases in emergency medicine, intensive care units, and chronic disease management. The World Health Organization estimates that there are more than 3 million deaths per year globally due to respiratory diseases, increasing the global demand for oxygen therapy and critical care gases. Home healthcare has also opened new avenues for portable oxygen delivery systems by allowing an independent life while administering treatment to help patients thrive.

By End Use:

In 2023, the global revenue share held by captive hospitals was 27% due to a large share being held by hospitals as the main consumers of medical gases. Due to more than 15 million surgeries done every year in the U.S. propofol, the need for steady anesthetic gas supply has been increased. Government efforts like, National Health Mission by India & ICU modernization programs across Europe have also fueled the adoption of this technology by adding advanced hospital infrastructure complemented by automated gas delivery systems.

Regional Analysis:

In 2023, North America dominated the global medical gas market, with a revenue share of 37%, due to its advanced healthcare infrastructures, robust regulatory framework, and high incidence of chronic respiratory disorders. Finally, the increasing elderly population through the region- 16% of U.S. population was over 65 years old in the year 2023- has a positive impact on the growth of the market for therapeutic gases.

The fastest CAGR is anticipated in Asia-Pacific, led by rapid urbanization, the rising incidence of respiratory diseases arising out of pollution, and expanding hospital infrastructure across the region until the year 2032. With nearly 100 million cases of COPD in China alone, oxygen therapy has become an integral component of healthcare in this country. Programs like Ayushman Bharat in India, which has government backing, are also making critical care gases and home-based oxygen therapy available.
