Europe Medical Oxygen Concentrator Market Outlook, 2027

With the demand for medical oxygen continuing unabated and countries struggling to keep pace with demand, the oxygen concentrator has emerged as a sought-after device. Oxygen concentrators are used by patients requiring supplemental oxygen for pulmonary disorders such as bronchitis, emphysema, lung cancer, and acute pneumonia. Oxygen concentrators can be efficiently used at home as well as clinical settings to support the user’s oxygen needs. Market growth is driven by the popularity and high demand for oxygen concentrators, due to their ease of use. Thus, many players in this market focus on incorporating significant changes in product design to suit patients’ routines.

The research titled, “Europe Medical Oxygen Concentrators Market Outlook, 2027”, by Bonafide Research categorizes the market to forecast the revenues and analyze the trends in each of the following segments: based on product type (Portable, Stationary, & Oxygen Cylinders), based on technology (Continuous Flow & Pulse Flow), based on end users (Home Care & Non-Home Care), based on European countries & major companies. The European market was valued at USD 0.69 Billion in the year 2021, underpinned by the increasing prevalence of respiratory health issues especially COPD since the last few years.

A jump in the number of asthmas, bronchitis, and other respiratory-related diseases, with Corona being a new entrant in the list, is expected to allow the market to grow over a growth rate of 5.4%. Along with lung cancer and pneumonia, COPD is one of the three leading contributors to respiratory mortality in Europe. The top 3 countries- Germany, UK & France, together account for half of the total regional market. With hit and track characteristics of respiratory diseases, there has been an increase in demand for oxygen concentrators in the region.

Among the various types of the concentrator, the oxygen cylinder segment led the market, but declining in the share with the portable concentrator segment gaining more popularity. The oxygen cylinder segment held to a market of little less than 50% in 2021. The technological advancements such as membrane technology and pressure swing adsorption used in portable oxygen concentrators will accelerate the product adoption at an anticipated CAGR of almost 9% over the forecasted period. Continuous flow concentrators may be simpler to use for some patients as they can provide an easy way to get oxygen throughout the day or night. However, this segment’s growth was restricted to 4%, due to the unavoidable wastage of O2. With new ailments get identified, newer medical therapy are introduced. One such therapy is Oxygen Therapy which applies to several diseases like asthma, respiratory distress syndrome, obstructive sleep apnea, among others. Long-term treatments in patients suffering from chronic lung abnormality are believed to allow a quality life length. The advent of new and improved techniques coupled with enhanced flexibility will impel pulse flow medical oxygen concentrator segment growth in the coming period. By the end of 2027, the segment is expected to cover over a quarter share of the market.
