Medical oxygen is high purity oxygen that is used for medical treatments and is developed for use in the human body. Medical oxygen cylinders are designed to contain only high-purity oxygen gas and no other gases are permitted in the cylinder to avoid any contamination. There are additional requirements and rules for medical oxygen, including requiring a person to have a prescription to order medical oxygen. Medical professionals usually employ medical oxygen gas cylinders for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes.
The COVID-19 outbreak has taken a colossal toll on the world’s economic activity with individuals, organizations, governments, and businesses having to adapt to the challenges of the crisis. The outbreak of COVID-19 and its resultant lockdowns and supply chain disruptions have adversely affected the healthcare industry, with the suspension and delay of new research activities.
However, the COVID-19 outbreak has positively impacted growth of the East Africa medical gas oxygen cylinder market. The increase in cases during the COVID-19 epidemic has essentially accelerated the demand for medical oxygen gas cylinders for intensive care. Furthermore, rising prevalence of COVID-19 cases across the region and growing cases of chronic diseases are also supplementing the market growth. Optimal medical infrastructure utilization became a high priority for Governments during the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, special attention is drawn to both the import and local manufacture of medical oxygen gas to ensure its uninterrupted supply to designated COVID-hospitals identified by the local administration.
Due to rising demand from hospitals, home care facilities, and many other places, oxygen gas cylinders become an essential tool for patients. Depending on the need, several sizes of medical oxygen gas cylinders are available in the market. In hospitals, oxygen gas therapy is administered to patients as part of the treatment of chronic health conditions to increase their energy levels, sleep quality, and overall quality of life. In medical clinics, oxygen is usually used in the treatment of a variety of severe and chronic illnesses.

Drivers:
Steps taken by the government to buy advanced medical oxygen concentrators
Rising government initiatives to prevent and treatment respiratory illnesses will promote market growth. Additionally, the market value is driven by more spending on healthcare expenditure for medical oxygen concentrators in various emerging countries. The COVID-19 epidemic has had a favorable effect on medical oxygen concentrator sales. The enormous patient population suffering from acute respiratory syndrome is owing to an increase in medical oxygen market demand.
Customers showing more interest in portable gadgets will drive market segmentation
The pace of adoption will be favorably impacted by the ongoing technological innovations in portable oxygen concentrators such as continuous flow and pulse flow. Further, patients suffering from several respiratory disorders including pneumonia, COPD, and lung cancer are inclined toward portable devices. This will lead to an increase in demand for home care settings. Additionally, a large number of companies are working to create novel and user-friendly portable medical equipment for patients that will increase the medical oxygen market growth.
Restraint/ Challenge:
High cost of medical oxygen
Costly oxygen expenses are not a recent issue. The high cost of oxygen was already increasing mortality before the pandemic, particularly among young infants with pneumonia, which is the main cause of infant deaths in most of low-resource and rural environments. A study there revealed that "oxygen-related patient bills are high, averaging approximately 3,900 Nigerian Naira per day ($US9.50), and that these expenditures fall mostly on the sickest and those who require prolonged hospitalization.” According to government data, the daily average income in Nigeria is $US5 per day. They came to the conclusion that expensive treatments may be refused or discharged against medical advice.
East Africa Medical Oxygen Market Opportunity:
Continuous technological developments to create products will ensure faster industry growth
Demand for the product will increase due to the rising prevalence of chronic respiratory disorders and rising tobacco and smoking use in developing countries. The growing acceptance of continuous flow concentrators for critical care in healthcare settings will expand the segment growth. Several manufacturers are focusing on creating and adopting advance technologies that fuels the future growth for medical oxygen market.
