Global Medical Gases & Equipment Market Forecast to 2018



The report “Medical Gases and Equipment Market by Gases (Oxygen, Medical Air, Nitrogen, Nitrous-oxide, Helium, Blood-gas Mixture, Nitrous Oxide-Oxygen Mixture), by Equipment (Cylinders, Manifolds, Regulators, Flowmeters) – Global Forecast to 2018″ by MarketsandMarkets is now available at RnRMarketResearch.com. Contact sales@rnrmarketresearch.com with Medical Gases and Equipment Market by Gases (Oxygen, Medical Air, Nitrogen, Nitrous-oxide, Helium, Blood-gas Mixture, Nitrous Oxide-Oxygen Mixture), by Equipment (Cylinders, Manifolds, Regulators, Flowmeters) – Global Forecast to 2018 in subject line and your contact details to purchase this report or get your questions answered.

The global medical gases and equipment market is estimated to be worth $14,953 million by 2018.

The global medical gases and equipment market is segmented by product, end user, and geography. The medical gases and equipment market is mainly classified, by product into medical gases and equipment. It is further categorized by pure gases and by gas mixtures. The equipment market covers cylinders, vacuum systems, manifolds, regulators, suction regulators, flow meters, hoses, outlets, and monitoring systems. The report also discusses the key market drivers, restraints, and opportunities of the global medical gases and equipment market and its sub-markets.
The overall market is mainly driven by the rising ageing population and growing incidences of chronic diseases, which adds to the global disease burden. Growth in adoption of treatment in home care settings in lieu of government initiatives to curtail healthcare costs in various countries is also expected to propel the growth of the medical gases market. The markets across APAC and the Latin American region are largely driven by growing healthcare infrastructure in the region, increased affordability of healthcare services, and increase in the disposable. However, frequently changing regulatory policies and opposing reimbursement policies for respiratory therapies are expected to dampen the market growth to a certain extent.

By 2018, oxygen will continue to drive and dominate the medical gases market. A major share of this growth can be attributed to the presence of a large patient base suffering from respiratory diseases such as COPD and sleep apnea syndrome and the increasing number of patients undergoing emergency medical care. Furthermore, cylinders are also expected to drive the growth of the medical gas equipment market. Driven by the growing home healthcare market, a majority of the players have begun manufacturing lightweight and portable cylinders with various visible and audible alert mechanisms. This will enhance patient safety in mobile oxygen therapy and address changing lifestyles. New, integrated cylinders are fast replacing the larger units due to their convenience of mobility and multi-functionality.

North America dominated the medical gases and equipment market in 2013 and will continue to drive and dominate it by 2018. However, the market share of this region will decrease to 39.6%, primarily due to the increase in demand for medical gases and equipment in the APAC and Latin American countries. A majority of the growth in the APAC region will primarily be driven by the increasing demand for medical gases and equipment in China and India. The growth in the APAC and Latin American regions can be attributed to increasing government support to improve healthcare infrastructure and increased disposable income, leading to growth in the per capita healthcare expenditure in these regions. However, low awareness levels and lack of proper distribution channels in this region restrain the growth of this market to a certain extent. The North American market is expected to grow at a higher pace than Europe mainly due to the rapidly increasing aging population and the high adoption rate of home healthcare services in the North American region.


The major players in the medical gases and equipment market include Air Products and Chemicals Inc (U.S.), Praxair Inc. (U.S.), Taiyo Nippon Sanso Corp. (Japan), SOL SpA (Italy), Airgas Inc (U.S.), Atlas Copco (Sweden), and Messer Group (Germany). Collectively, the top 10 players accounted for approximately 70% to 75% of the global medical gases and equipment market in 2012.
Linde Group (Germany) and Air Liquide (France) were the leading players, together accounting for around 50% to 55% of the market share in 2012. Linde Group has a diversified product portfolio, which includes a wide range of medical gases and equipment such as medical oxygen, nitrous oxide, medical nitrous oxide/oxygen mixtures, hospital equipment for hospitals, and home care and emergency care services. The company has a strong presence in more than 100 countries through its strong manufacturing and distribution facilities, which enables it to cater to a large customer base across the globe.

Global Dialysis Market 2018



The report “Dialysis Market [(Hemodialysis - Machine, Dialyzer, Bloodlines, Concentrates, Services), (Peritoneal Dialysis - Cycler, Catheter, Dialysate, CCPD, CAPD, IPD), (End Users - Hospital, Independent Dialysis Center, Home Dialysis)] – Global Forecast to 2018″ by MarketsandMarkets is now available at RnRMarketResearch.com. Contact sales@rnrmarketresearch.com with Dialysis Market [(Hemodialysis - Machine, Dialyzer, Bloodlines, Concentrates, Services), (Peritoneal Dialysis - Cycler, Catheter, Dialysate, CCPD, CAPD, IPD), (End Users - Hospital, Independent Dialysis Center, Home Dialysis)] – Global Forecast to 2018 in subject line and your contact details to purchase this report or get your questions answered.

The global dialysis market is broadly categorized into two segments, namely, hemodialysis (products & services) and peritoneal dialysis (products & services). The hemodialysis segment accounts for the larger share of the global dialysis market, while the peritoneal dialysis segment is expected to grow at a higher CAGR in the forecast period. The hemodialysis (HD) products and services market includes machines, consumables, and services. The peritoneal dialysis (PD) products and services market includes concentrates/dialysates, cyclers, catheters, transfer sets, accessories, and PD services.
Moreover, the global dialysis market has also been classified on the basis of end users into in-center dialysis and home dialysis. The hemodialysis market is further segmented into center use HD and home HD. The peritoneal dialysis market is segmented into continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis (CCPD), continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), intermittent PD, and PD Plus therapy. The in-center dialysis end users market includes hospitals and independent dialysis centers; whereas, the home dialysis end users market includes peritoneal dialysis end users and home hemodialysis end users. Based on geography, the market is divided into North America, Asia-Pacific, Europe, and Rest of the World (RoW).

A number of factors such as the growing number of end stage renal disease patients and increasing prevalence of diabetes and hypertension are driving the growth of the dialysis market. In addition, factors such as low preference of patients for kidney transplantation, technological advancements, increase in private investment and venture funding to support the development of new products, and substantial government healthcare expenditure on the treatment of end-stage renal disease are further stimulating the growth of the dialysis products and services market. However, factors such as low awareness about kidney diseases and their treatment modalities (primarily in developing countries), reduction in Medicare reimbursements to dialysis centers, product recalls, and reuse of hemodialysis consumables (such as dialyzers and bloodlines) are restraining the growth of the dialysis market.
In 2013, North America holds the largest share in the global dialysis market, followed by Asia-Pacific, Europe, and RoW (Rest of the World). The Asia-Pacific region (comprising Japan, China, South Korea, India, and Rest of Asia-Pacific) is estimated to grow at the highest CAGR in the forecast period. Factors such as the increasing number of independent dialysis centers, government initiatives to develop dialysis facilities, and increasing awareness about new dialysis treatment modalities are driving the growth of the dialysis market in the Asia-Pacific region.

The major players in the dialysis market include Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA (Germany), DaVita Healthcare Partners, Inc. (U.S.), Gambro AB (Sweden), Baxter International, Inc. (U.S.), B. Braun Melsungen AG (Germany), Nipro Corporation (Japan), Diaverum Deutschland GmbH (Germany), Medical Components, Inc. (U.S.), Nikkiso Co. Ltd. (Japan), and NxStage Medical, Inc. (U.S.).
