U.S. Medical Gas Application & Equipment Market Size Worth USD 162.51 Billion by 2034 | CAGR: 6.3%


The U.S. medical gas application & equipment market size is expected to reach USD 162.51 billion by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “U.S. Medical Gas Application & Equipment Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report By Gas Type (Medical Oxygen, Helium), By Equipment Type, By Application, By End User – Market Forecast, 2025–2034” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

Medical gas equipment refers to the devices and systems used to store, regulate, and deliver medical gases such as oxygen, nitrous oxide, and medical air in healthcare settings. This includes cylinders, flowmeters, regulators, manifolds, gas pipelines, and alarm systems.

The rise in surgical interventions in the U.S., including elective and emergency surgeries, drives demand for medical gases such as oxygen, nitrous oxide, and medical air. Hospitals require a continuous and safe supply of these gases for anesthesia and respiratory support during surgeries. Growing patient admissions and expanding healthcare infrastructure contribute to higher consumption of medical gases. This surge pushes hospitals and surgical centers to invest in advanced gas delivery and storage systems, ensuring uninterrupted supply and enhancing overall patient care quality.

The aging U.S. population is a major factor driving demand for medical gases. Older adults are more prone to chronic diseases and often require surgeries, intensive care, and long-term oxygen therapy. Increased life expectancy means more patients need continuous respiratory support and anesthesia gases for surgical procedures. This demographic shift creates steady demand for medical gas products and equipment in hospitals, nursing homes, and home healthcare, emphasizing the importance of a robust medical gas supply chain to support the health needs of older adults.
