Growth Factors in the Portable Oxygen Concentrators Market
- Rising Prevalence of Respiratory Diseases
The rise in the prevalence of chronic respiratory diseases, such illnesses as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma, in addition to their propellants, aging populations and environmental factors such as pollution, is a major driver of the overall portable oxygen concentrators (POCs) market. Chronic respiratory diseases are associated with long-term oxygen therapy, which helps improve patients’ quality of life. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), millions of people globally have COPD. Because of this, portable and usable oxygen solutions are in increasing demand. POCs allow patients control and management of their chronic respiratory disease beyond the clinical environment, then raising authorisation to independent patient mobility. In particular, populations that have historically high smoking rates or chronic poor air quality are characterised by increased prevalence of respiratory disease, again driving expansions in the market.
- Technological Advancements in Device Design
currently a primary factor in the expansion of this market. Current POCs are much more efficient, lightweight, quiet, and powerful. They have improved battery lifespan, weight, size, and ease of use which helps with active lifestyles. Some, like Inogen's new POCs, weigh less than five pounds and do not restrict users to travel, which helps motivation for patients that can use it for daily activities. With various improvements, such as pulse-dose technology and direct connectivity for remote monitoring, POCs have become much more functional. The technological innovations provide patients with the desired aspect of discreetness and reliability, helping adopting patients in the future. As more resources continue to be put into R&D from manufacturers will improve the experience and increase the attractiveness of a POC lifestyle. Increased attractiveness will continue to increase market demand.
- Growing Aging Population
The worldwide aging population is arguably the largest growth contributor to the POC market. The older a patient is, the more likely they will be affected by a respiratory disease that requires oxygen therapy. The United Nations expects the population of people age 65 and older to reach 1.4 billion by the year 2030, which suggests the need for more solutions for home-based healthcare services. POCs are a practical alternative to oxygen tanks that allow seniors to live their lives independently. For instance, with the prevalence of older adults, Japan has begun prescribing POCs for home care applications, allowing users to decrease the frequency of hospital visits. The demographic trends of the aging population will help entrench the ongoing growth in demand for portable devices that are cost effective and designed for occupational and health needs for senior patients.
Key Trends in the Portable Oxygen Concentrators Market
- Shift Toward Home Healthcare
The inevitable shift in the marketplace is toward home healthcare for the patient leading to an overall cost-efficient, patient-centered approach to care. POCs give patients the opportunity to receive oxygen therapy at home, ending costly hospital stays. For instance, legislators recently made POCs eligible as a covered service by Medicare in the U.S. to be used in home-based systems, ultimately allowing patients with COPD to treat their disease without frequent use of a clinic. Another trend has been telehealth and remote monitoring. POCs lend themselves to telehealth and remote monitoring in practice. Home and telehealth solutions will become increasingly encouraged by health systems and insurers, and as a result, the demand for reliable and easy-to-use POCs continue to escalate, creating market opportunities.
- Increased Focus on Lightweight and Compact Designs
A prominent trend in the POC market is the development of lightweight, compact devices that prioritize portability and aesthetics. Manufacturers are designing POCs that are easier to carry, with ergonomic designs appealing to active users. For instance, the Philips SimplyGo Mini, weighing just five pounds, exemplifies this trend, offering both pulse and continuous flow settings in a sleek package. This focus on portability caters to younger patients or those with active lifestyles, such as travelers or outdoor enthusiasts. As consumer expectations for convenience and style grow, manufacturers are innovating to create discreet, high-performance POCs, shaping market dynamics.
- Expansion of Direct-to-Consumer Sales Models
Direct-to-consumer (DTC) sales models are disrupting the way that portable oxygen concentrators (POCs) interact with end-users by displacing the traditional medical supply chain and path to purchase. Companies like Inogen have already made this shift by employing DTC strategies to sell their products, conduct online consultations, and have question-and-purchase processes. DTC sales enable patients to have online access to POC models, compare machine features side-by-side, and order the device online and have it shipped directly to their home. This trend not only increases patient access to POCs, particularly for those moving into geographic areas with limited access to medical suppliers, but also allows POC manufacturers to differentiate and become more competitive with customer service and product offerings. As e-commerce and digital health platforms evolve, DTC sales will play an undeniable role in how the POC market develops in the future.
