Covered in this report
According to procurement analysts, the healthcare industry extensively uses oxygen for treating various respiratory diseases and in surgical applications. It is also used in the cosmetics industry for providing oxygen therapy to rejuvenate aging skin and treat fine lines and wrinkles. The increased demand for oxygen from the healthcare and cosmetics industries, attributed to factors such as rapidly aging population that is vulnerable to various diseases, increasing in the prevalence of respiratory conditions, and the growing adoption of oxygen therapy is expected to drive the growth of the global oxygen market.
Category driver
According to this procurement research, one of the key procurement challenges faced by buyers is the increasing consolidation in the global market. The supply market of oxygen is consolidated, with the top four suppliers accounting for 70% of the market during 2016. This subsequently reduces the intensity of competition among suppliers. Further, suppliers are increasingly adopting various strategies such as partnerships, joint ventures, strategic alliances, and spin-offs. In addition, leading suppliers in the market are increasingly using proprietary technologies and patented production process. These factors are reducing the bargaining power of buyers and subsequently affecting cost and availability of oxygen.
Solutions can be categorized into:
Based on the product type, oxygen can be categorized into:
Liquid Oxygen: Manufactured through cryogenic distillation, suppliers prefer liquid oxygen as they can save on storage space easing the transportation process
Gaseous Oxygen: Oxygen is used in a gaseous form with uses in the manufacturing of steel, life support systems, and oxy-acetylene torches.
Solid Oxygen: Although not used in many applications currently, studies are being carried out to explore its usage in life support systems and rocket propulsion systems
