Medical Gas Market Size
The Asia-Pacific Medical Gas market size was valued at USD 1.44 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 2.80 billion by 2032,at a CAGR of 8.7% during the forecast period
This growth is driven by the hike in ageing population, rise in home healthcare facilities, emerging Asia-Pacificization and economy, increase in the cases of COPD.
Medical Gas Market Analysis
Medical gases such as oxygen, nitrous oxide, medical air, and carbon dioxide are essential in patient care for anesthesia, ventilation, diagnostics, and therapy. These gases are administered through high-pressure cylinders or centralized systems and supported by gas equipment like flowmeters, regulators, vacuum systems, and manifolds.
The growing burden of chronic diseases, increasing number of surgeries, and rising demand for emergency and home-based care are primary drivers. Rapidly aging populations and high pollution levels in urban centers have further pushed oxygen therapy adoption.
China is the dominant country in the Asia-Pacific medical gas market due to its vast hospital infrastructure, high patient volumes, and government initiatives supporting medical infrastructure modernization.
India is expected to register the highest CAGR in the region due to rapid urbanization, increased healthcare investments, and national programs promoting access to oxygen and critical care in tier-2 and tier-3 cities.
Medical oxygen segment is expected to dominate the Asia-Pacific medical gas market with the largest market share of 53.2% due to its critical application in surgical procedures, respiratory illnesses, and emergency care. Increased investment in PSA oxygen plants and oxygen therapy awareness post-COVID further supports its leadership.

Medical Gas Market Trends
“Expansion of Immuno-Oncology and Cell-Based Therapies”
A major trend in the Medical Gas market is the expansion of immuno-oncology and cell-based therapies such as CAR-T, which are transforming cancer treatment protocols
Rising investments by biotech companies in immune checkpoint inhibitors and genetically engineered T-cell therapies are driving long-term growth
For example, the growing number of clinical trials in CAR-T cell therapies across North America and Asia-Pacific signifies sustained innovation in personalized cancer treatment
Medical Gas Market Dynamics
Driver
“Rising Surgical Volume and ICU Demand”
Asia-Pacific accounts for over 45% of the global surgical volume. According to WHO 2023 data, China and Japan together perform more than 45 million surgical procedures annually, increasing the demand for reliable oxygen and anesthesia gas infrastructure.
For instance, a 2023 report from the Japan Medical Association emphasized the role of centralized gas pipeline systems in over 85% of tertiary care hospitals.
Meanwhile, Southeast Asian countries like Vietnam and the Philippines have increased ICU bed capacity by 40% post-pandemic, boosting demand for gas outlets and emergency oxygen cylinders.
Opportunity “Government-Led Medical Infrastructure Projects”
National programs such as India’s PM-ABHIM (Ayushman Bharat Health Infrastructure Mission), with over USD 3 billion allocated to public hospital upgrades, and China’s 14th Five-Year Plan supporting oxygen supply system modernization across 1,000 hospitals, are creating significant opportunities for equipment manufacturers and gas suppliers.
For example, in 2024, India’s Health Ministry announced the commissioning of 162 PSA oxygen plants under PM-ABHIM, increasing oxygen self-sufficiency in over 20 states.
Restraint/Challenge
“Supply Chain Inefficiencies and Infrastructure Gaps”
During India’s 2021 COVID-19 second wave, several states faced acute oxygen shortages due to a lack of refill hubs and transportation infrastructure. Reports from the Indian Ministry of Health indicated over 500 hospitals experienced supply interruptions.
In 2023, a survey by Indonesia’s National Health Development Agency noted that over 30% of rural health centers still rely on manually handled cylinders without monitoring alarms, increasing risk of therapy delays and safety breaches.
