The medical gas and equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $23.66 billion in 2025 to $26.02 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of hospital and clinic networks, increasing use of anesthesia and respiratory therapies, adoption of standardized gas safety regulations, growth in emergency medical services, rising demand for critical care infrastructure.
The medical gas and equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $37.73 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of home healthcare services, rising investments in advanced medical gas delivery technologies, expansion of diagnostic and imaging centers, growing focus on automation in gas management, increasing demand for specialty medical gas mixtures. Major trends in the forecast period include expansion of centralized medical gas systems, increasing adoption of advanced gas monitoring equipment, rising demand for portable medical gas solutions, growing focus on safety-compliant gas delivery devices, enhanced integration of automated gas regulation systems.
The growing incidence of respiratory diseases is anticipated to support the expansion of the medical gas and equipment sector in the coming years. Respiratory diseases are conditions that impact the lungs and other components of the respiratory system. Medical gases and related equipment play a vital role in managing and treating these conditions, and a rise in respiratory disease cases directly increases demand for such solutions. For example, in June 2024, data from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare indicated that in 2023, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) contributed 3.6% to Australia’s total disease burden and accounted for nearly half of the overall burden associated with respiratory conditions. As a result, the increasing prevalence of respiratory diseases is contributing to the continued growth of this sector.
Strategic technological innovations, like manifold changeover systems, are empowering companies within the medical gas and equipment sector to gain a competitive edge. These systems, ensuring consistent medical gas supply, constitute a critical advancement in healthcare settings. BeaconMedaes' July 2023 introduction of the MAT-S Automatic Manifold Changeover System exemplifies this drive. Featuring a dome-bias regulator design, it minimizes connections, reducing potential leakages. This system's intelligent design reduces maintenance costs and enhances operational efficiency, aligning with international standards and catering to primary and backup medical gas supplies.
In March 2023, Atlas Copco, a Sweden-based industrial and healthcare equipment company, completed the acquisition of the operating assets of the FS Medical Technology business for an undisclosed consideration. This transaction is intended to strengthen Atlas Copco’s portfolio of medical- and laboratory-gas solutions by incorporating FS Medical Technology’s capabilities in system verification, inspection, and maintenance services.
