Portable Oxygen Concentrators Market Size,Share and Growth Opportunity with COVID-19 impact.

The increasing prevalence of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is one of the major factors that is driving the growth of the global Portable Oxygen Concentrators Market. Chronic Obstructive pulmonary disease is an umbrella term used to define progressive lung diseases including chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and refractory asthma. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 251 million people were living with COPD in 2016. This number is expected to increase during the forecast period, as there are a lot of undiagnosed cases.

The global portable oxygen concentrators market was valued at approximately US$ 924.5 Mn in the year 2018 and is expected to grow during the forecast period.

Portable oxygen concentrators are medical devices that are used to deliver a higher level of oxygen concentration than that present in ambient air to patients who require oxygen therapy. The device works on pressure swing adsorption (PSA) technology. PSA technology involves the selective adsorption of nitrogen gas on zeolite molecular sieves. Ambient air has around 21% oxygen, whereas POC devices can deliver oxygen up to 96% concentration.

Another factor that is driving the growth of this market is the shift from the traditional to portable oxygen concentrators. Portable oxygen concentrators are lightweight, and they have a better battery life. Most importantly, they can be used while performing day-to-day activities and they help improve the overall quality of life of patients.

However, the high cost of the devices is one of the major factors that will impede the growth of the market. But there are attractive opportunities for market players to develop more lightweight and battery efficient devices.
