Medical & Pharmaceutical Gases and Equipment Market Segment Analysis - By Composition

• By Composition, the Medical & Pharmaceutical Gases and Equipment Market is segmented into Pure Gases and Mixtures. Pure Gases held the major market share in 2019 as it is widely used in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Oxygen is usually supplied in gas cylinders from which the administration to the patients is done by using a facial mask which can hold about 60% of oxygen or through a tight fitting anesthetic type mask that can hold up to 100% oxygen. Moreover, according to the Pharma Review, 20-40% oxygen is usually used in the treatment of C.O.P.D. and 40%-60% is used in case of bronchial asthma and 100% oxygen is used in the treatment of severe hypoxia and noxious gas poising which is eventually driving this segment growth. In addition, “hyperbaric oxygen therapy” is the administration of 100% oxygen at 1atm pressure for cases including myocardial infarction, cluster headache, stroke and cancer. Also, the mixtures segment is projected to witness growth at the fastest CAGR of 6.8% in the forecast period 2022-2027. Moreover, Ethonox is a ready-to-use medical gas mixture consisting of 50% nitrous oxide and 50% oxygen for use in all situation where analgesia and sedation with rapid onset and offset is sought.

Moreover, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention about 647,000 Americans die from heart disease each year-that is 1 in every-4 deaths. Furthermore, the presence of major players including Praxair and Airgas is further contributing to its market growth.

Medical & Pharmaceutical Gases and Equipment Market Drivers

A large pool of People Suffering from Chronic Illness

A large pool of people suffering from chronic illness leading to diabetes, heart failure and respiratory problems is a major factor driving the Medical & Pharmaceutical Gases and Equipment Market during the forecast period 2022-2027. Moreover, the gases used in anesthesia and intensive care are oxygen, nitrous oxide, medical air entonox, carbon dioxide and heliox. In addition, oxygen is the most widely used gases for life-support and respiratory therapy besides anesthetic procedures. Furthermore, according to the World Health Organization about 422 million people worldwide have diabetes particularly in low and middle-income countries and 1.6 million deaths are directly attributed to diabetes each year.

Technological Advancement in Pharmaceutical Gases

Technological Advancements in Pharmaceutical Gases are a major factor driving the Medical & Pharmaceutical Gases and Equipment Market during the forecast period 2022-2027. Therapeutic medical gas is a pharmaceutical medical gas molecule which offers a solution to medical needs.
