Portable Oxygen Concentrators Market: North America Estimated to Account for Maximum Value Share Between 2016 and 2026: Global Industry Analysis & Opportunity Assessment, 2016 - 2026

NEW YORK, Jan. 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Portable oxygen concentrator (POC) is a medical device used to supply oxygen to patients suffering from respiratory diseases. The concentrator separates nitrogen and oxygen from air in the environment and then discards the nitrogen and supplies 95% pure oxygen to patients through a mask. POCs are smaller as compared to stationary oxygen concentrators, allowing patients to easily carry the device. Apart from patients, POCs are also used by mountaineers and travellers in places where oxygen is inadequate.

The global portable oxygen concentrators market revenue is projected to reach a market valuation of US$ 1246.1 Mn by 2016 end and register a CAGR of 7.8% during the forecast period 2016-2026.

Increasing consumer awareness for oxygen therapy devices likely to boost market growth during the forecast period

The primary factors fuelling global demand for portable oxygen concentrators are an increasing prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, growing consumer awareness for oxygen therapy devices, a changing consumer lifestyle, adoption of new technologies, increased government expenditure, and a rise in investment by manufacturing companies towards the production of homecare products.

However, high product costs and stringent FDA regulations pertaining to medical devices are some of the factors likely to restrain the growth of the global portable oxygen concentrators market during the forecast period.
