Major Players in the Global Homecare Oxygen Concentrators Market
The key players in the homecare oxygen concentrators market are
COVID-19 Impact
The COVID-19 outbreak has positively impacted the homecare oxygen concentrators industry in 2020. During the pandemic, these oxygen concentrators were increasingly used to supply additional oxygen to patients accessing treatment at home or suffering from COVID-19 associated respiratory conditions. Further, introduction of effective treatment and preventive vaccines led to declined infection rate across the globe. This has lowered the demand for homecare oxygen concentrators in 2021 compared to 2020. However, the market will continue to foresee momentous growth during the forecast period with increasing prevalence of several other respiratory diseases.
