An
oxygen concentrator is a device used to deliver concentrated oxygen
to a patient requiring oxygen therapy. These devices are considered
as a safer, easy to use and inexpensive compared to compressed oxygen
cylinders. Portable oxygen concentrator is useful to people using
oxygen tanks as a constant supply of oxygen by enabling them
mobility. Portable oxygen concentrator acts by increasing the
concentration of oxygen by taking a mixture air from its surrounding.
Airstep Freestyle, Inogen One G2, Invacare XPO2 and DeVilbiss iGo are
some the commercially available portable oxygen concentrators. These
devices are also used by mountaineers and people travelling to places
where oxygen is inadequate amount.
Major
factors expected to drive the market for portable oxygen
concentrators include its ability to provide oxygen under all
circumstances and worldwide aging population coupled with COPD and
other respiratory diseases. Advantages associated with these devices
such as they weigh less, easy to use and more affordable are also
predicted to drive the market further. WHO suggests that
approximately 65 million people are suffering from moderate to severe
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease across the globe. In 2005, an
estimated 3 million people died because of COPD. North America and
Europe are the market leaders because of high level of consumer
awareness and approval by regulatory authorizes of these regions. FAA
(Federal aviation Administration) approved the onboard use of certain
portable oxygen concentrator. In Asia-Pacific, Japan, India, China
and Australia are the leaders in the market for portable oxygen
concentrators. In Latin America, Mexico and Brazil are expected to
witness a substantial growth in coming years due to continuously
increasing healthcare expenditure in the region.
