The Global Disposable Oxygen Masks Market Size is projected to Exceed USD 3.658 Billion by 2033, Growing at a CAGR of 8.44% from 2023 to 2033. The disposable oxygen mask market expansion is facilitated by the increasing prevalence of respiratory disease, the rising magnitude of surgical procedures, growing hospitalizations owing to rising cases of chronic diseases, and technological advancements in the medical sector.

Market Overview

The disposable oxygen mask market comprises the manufacturing and commercialization of single-use oxygen masks that deliver oxygen to patients suffering from various respiratory diseases. Disposable oxygen masks are medical-grade masks that carry oxygen from the oxygen cylinder to the lungs of patients with abnormalities. These types of masks are widely used in government and private hospitals. Disposable oxygen masks are essential for providing breathing oxygen gas to the lungs from the oxygen storage cylinder. It covers the mouth and nose with elastic straps and is provided with adjustable nose clips for a better fit. Disposable oxygen masks are made from materials like silicone, rubber, or plastic. They are available in adult and pediatric styles and are easily available in the market.

The rising prevalence of respiratory diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), leads to lower oxygen levels in the body and difficulty in breathing, for which hospitalization is required. The increasing cases of respiratory diseases need the external oxygen which accelerates the demand of the oxygen masks, particularly disposable oxygen masks resulting in the disposable oxygen masks market growth. For instance, the data provided by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) reported that in 2022, around 638,000 (2.5%) people in Australia were estimated to be living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In 2021-2022, 53,000 people were hospitalized for the diagnosis of COPD of 45 years of age and above.

Several government initiatives, such as providing financial support for the bulk manufacturing plants of medical devices industries, drive the market growth. For example, the US government has allocated funds to support medical device research and development, with initiatives like Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) aiding early-stage innovation. Collaborations between government agencies, academic institutions, and private companies are growing. The medical device market is expected to develop further, necessitating flexible rules in the ever-changing healthcare environment. This is owing to the rising number of chronic conditions, the geriatric population, and the need for minimally invasive operations. Therefore, providing funds for the production of medical devices, especially oxygen masks and their products, propels the market expansion.

Driving Factors:

Increasing proportion of the geriatric population:

The growing magnitude of the geriatric population among the public proliferates the risk of chronic diseases owing to weakened muscles and wear and tear of blood vessels and organs. This accelerates the need for medical treatment for the management of chronic conditions. For instance, according to projections, the number of Americans 65 and older will rise from 58 million in 2022 to 82 million by 2050, a 47% increase, and their proportion of the population will increase from 17% to 23%. The population of the United States is older now than it has ever been. The median age of the population rose from 30.0 to 38.9 between 1980 and 2022, yet in 2022, the median age was over 40 in one-third (17) of the nation's states. The racial and ethnic diversity of the elderly population is increasing. The percentage of older people who identify as non-Hispanic white is expected to decline from 75% to 60% between 2022 and 2050.

Rise in the in-patient department services (IPD) in hospitals and technological advancement:

The increasing cases of respiratory diseases such as COPD and asthma escalates the need for the medical treatment resulting in the increased demand of disposable oxygen masks drives the market growth. For example, in 2020, there were 432,193 hospital admissions for chronic lower respiratory disease, a 57.5% increase from 239,606 in 1999, with a rate of 723.70 per 100,000 people.

Advanced materials like silicone and antimicrobial coatings have enhanced the comfort and hygiene of disposable oxygen masks. Innovative design features like ergonomic shapes and adjustable straps have improved patient fit. The development of home healthcare services for elderly care has fueled the use of oxygen masks in home settings.

Restraining Factors

Several factors, including research focus on the development of eco-friendly oxygen masks results in the minimized usage of the traditional oxygen masks, consumption of single-use disposable oxygen masks leading to waste collection and negatively impacting the environment, and restrictions on the growth of the market.

• In July 2021, Vyaire Medical introduced the AirLife™ Open oxygen mask, a low-flow oxygen therapy device designed to improve patient satisfaction and standard of care. The mask combines a traditional nasal cannula, an oxygen mask, and non-rebreather benefits in a single device. Its unique geometry maintains higher oxygen concentrations without obtrusive structures, distributing oxygen flow through unique jet orifices. This creates a soft curtain of oxygen around the nose and mouth, reducing the risk of rebreathing carbon dioxide. The mask allows patients to drink, eat, and communicate without removing it, delivering uninterrupted oxygen therapy.
