The European medical gas and equipment industry is expanding primarily due to increased demand for quality healthcare services, driven by an aging population, rising prevalence of chronic respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, and higher surgical and critical care volumes across the region. Rising hospital admissions, intensive care unit (ICU) occupancy, and emergency care facility use have led to substantial demand for medical gases such as oxygen, nitrous oxide, and medical air, as well as for pipeline systems and delivery equipment. Furthermore, the growth and modernization of healthcare infrastructure, including the construction of new hospitals and the refurbishment of existing facilities, are providing momentum for the installation of advanced medical gas pipeline systems and on-site gas generation solutions. Adoption is also being driven by innovations such as portable oxygen systems, digital monitoring of gas supply, and energy-efficient equipment. In addition, strict European regulations concerning patient safety and gas purity, together with the outsourcing of medical gas management services to specialized providers, are prompting hospitals to engage with established companies, accelerating the overall market growth.

Medical gases accounted for the largest share by offering in the Europe medical gas and equipment market in 2024.

Medical gases were the major contributor to the Europe medical gas and equipment market from the equipment-type segment, as they are the most essential part of healthcare delivery in almost every area. The necessary gases include oxygen, nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, and medical air, which are used in anesthesia, respiratory therapy, intensive care, emergency medicine, and a large number of surgical operations. As a result, these gases are consumed continuously and in large volumes in hospitals and clinics. In contrast to equipment, which is usually a one-time or periodic capital purchase, medical gases entail recurring demand because they must be refilled regularly, resulting in stable revenue streams. In addition, the increasing number of ICU beds, the rising prevalence of respiratory disorders, growth in surgical procedures, and the expanded use of home healthcare oxygen therapy in Europe have contributed to demand for medical gases. Strict regulatory standards for gas purity and patient safety are also among the reasons healthcare facilities continue to rely on certified suppliers, thus maintaining the dominant share of medical gases in the overall market.

The hospitals & clinics segment accounted for the largest share in the Europe medical gas and equipment market, by end user, in 2024.

Hospitals & clinics led the end-user segment of the Europe medical gas and equipment market with the largest share, mainly because of their role as primary providers of acute care, surgical, and critical care services. These establishments consume large volumes of oxygen, medical air, nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, and other medical gases on a continuous basis, as these gases support anesthesia, respiratory therapy, emergency care, and intensive care unit (ICU) operations. In addition, hospitals require extensive medical gas pipeline systems, monitoring equipment, and regular maintenance services to support departments such as operating rooms, ICUs, neonatal units, and emergency wards. The increasing number of surgical procedures, expansion of ICU capacity, and modernization of hospital infrastructure across Europe further fuel demand in this segment. Moreover, stricter regulatory and safety requirements also prompt hospitals and clinics to collaborate with well-known medical gas providers, thereby maintaining their dominant share of the overall market.

In 2024, Germany accounted for the largest share of the Europe medical gas and equipment market.

As a result of its well-developed healthcare infrastructure, high healthcare expenditure, and the strong presence of leading medical gas suppliers and equipment manufacturers, Germany held the largest share of the European medical gas and equipment market. The country is furnished with a vast, technologically advanced hospital complex system, which includes hospitals, specialized clinics, and intensive care units that, as a matter of course, demand a continuous and reliable supply of medical gases, as well as the associated pipeline systems. In addition, the demographic situation in Germany, including the common occurrence of chronic respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, is a reason for the increasing demand for oxygen therapy, anesthesia gases, and critical care support.

In addition, the presence of major industry players and manufacturing bases, together with strong domestic distribution networks, ensures the country an adequate level of supply and service coverage. Germany's leading position in the European medical gas and equipment market is also maintained by strict regulatory standards, high adoption of advanced medical technologies, and ongoing investments in hospital modernization and digital healthcare infrastructure
