Oxygen Therapy Market Trends:

Home Healthcare Trends

The IMARC Group’s report shows that the global home healthcare market reached US$ 392.2 Billion in 2023. Many patients, particularly among the elderly and those with chronic diseases, prefer the comfort and convenience of receiving care at home over institutional settings, such as hospitals or nursing homes. This inclination is driving the demand for home oxygen therapy options. Home healthcare is frequently more affordable than inpatient care, lowering hospital stays and associated costs. Home healthcare devices are lightweight, simple to use, and allow patients to preserve their mobility and freedom, making home oxygen therapy more viable and appealing. Many chronic respiratory disorders, including COPD and pulmonary fibrosis, necessitate long-term oxygen treatment. Home healthcare allows for ongoing and consistent management of various illnesses, which improves patient adherence to treatment and outcomes.

Increasing Prevalence of Respiratory Diseases

According to an article published on the website of the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2023, the third leading cause of death worldwide is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), causing 3.23 million deaths in 2019. COPD, asthma, interstitial lung disease, and pneumonia is very common and there is a requirement of oxygen therapy for managing the symptoms of these diseases. Because respiratory diseases have harmful impact and only long-term management can help patients treat these conditions, oxygen therapy is highly valuable in maintaining adequate levels of oxygen in the blood while managing chronic respiratory conditions.

Aging Population

Elderly people are more susceptible to respiratory conditions like COPD, emphysema, and pneumonia, and oxygen therapy is the only way to manage these conditions. Old people may have several chronic conditions, such as hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, which can worsen respiratory problems, thereby catalyzing the demand for oxygen therapy. The weak immune system of the geriatric population can attract several infections, which can lead to severe respiratory diseases. An article published on the website of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) eLibrary shows that by 2050 the global share of people aged 80 and older is expected to quadruple to almost 5%.
