Methodology

How the estimates were built: data sources, modelling approach and validation steps.

Research approach

A market size is a claim about the world, and a claim is only as good as the route to it. Every study is built upward from units and prices — what is actually produced, sold or performed, at what it actually changes hands for — rather than from a headline figure divided downwards. Disclosed company revenue is then used to check that build, not to produce it.

Market size estimation, this report

The estimate is built upward from the number of central oxygen systems installed each year, split by system type: liquid oxygen plants, pressure swing adsorption generator skids and cylinder manifold rooms. Each installation count is multiplied by average unit pricing, which varies by generator capacity in normal cubic meters per hour, piping run length and commissioning labor. This unit-and-price build is then checked against the disclosed equipment and service revenue of the manufacturers named in this report and against shipment volumes recorded under the compressor and gas-generation equipment trade codes. Where a facility-count assumption produced a build that diverged from a manufacturer's disclosed regional revenue, the installation-volume assumption was the input corrected, not the disclosed figure.

The four stages

The same sequence runs behind every published study, whatever the industry. The order matters as much as the steps: the segment axes are fixed before any number is collected, so the model is never reshaped to fit whatever data happens to turn up.

What the build rests on, and what checks it

The two are not interchangeable. The left column produces the number; the right column tests it. When the check disagrees with the build, the answer is to find which bottom-up assumption is wrong — a unit count, a price, a take-up rate — not to split the difference between them.

The bottom-up build rests on
  • Volume actually transacted — units produced, installed, dispensed or procedures performed, counted at the level each is genuinely recorded
  • Realised pricing by tier and channel, rather than one blended average applied across the whole market
  • Take-up and frequency: how much of the addressable base buys, and how often it repeats
The build is checked against
  • Disclosed revenue of the companies serving the market, where filings separate it far enough to be usable
  • Buyer-side spending totals — capital budgets, procurement lines, or the output of the end market the product is bought against
  • Trade and customs flows, where the product crosses borders in a separately recorded form

Data sources

Published data establishes what happened. Only the people transacting in a market can say why, and what is about to change — so the two are collected separately and weighted differently.

Primary — who is interviewed
  • Commercial and product leadership at the companies that supply the market
  • Procurement and specification leads at the organisations that buy it
  • Distributors, integrators and channel partners, where the market is served indirectly
  • Regulatory and standards specialists, where approval governs what can be sold at all
Secondary — what is read
  • Company filings, annual reports and investor disclosure
  • Government statistics, customs records and regulatory registers
  • Trade association output and standards-body publications
  • Technical and peer-reviewed literature, where the market rests on a clinical or engineering claim
Primary research design, this report

Primary outreach targets hospital facilities and biomedical engineering managers who specify and maintain central oxygen infrastructure, procurement officers at multi-site hospital groups who negotiate equipment and service contracts, and channel partners such as medical gas system integrators who install and commission these systems on the manufacturer's behalf. Regulatory affairs contacts at national health authorities are included where central gas pipeline codes require government sign-off before a system is commissioned. Sampling weights toward North America and Europe, where installed-base replacement is the dominant driver and facility contacts are more reachable, alongside a targeted sample in Asia Pacific and the Middle East, where new hospital construction is expanding fastest.

Secondary sources, this report

Desk research draws on national medical device and pressure-equipment registries where central oxygen generators and manifolds require separate certification from portable cylinders, hospital capital-expenditure disclosures and tender records published by public health authorities for new facility construction, and customs classifications covering compressors, gas-separation equipment and cryogenic storage vessels. Trade-association benchmarks from medical gas industry bodies in North America and Europe supply typical installation costs per bed and per facility type. Published clearance and conformity filings for oxygen generator equipment, required before a system can be installed in a hospital, are cross-checked against the installation-volume assumptions used in the bottom-up build.

Desk research runs across proprietary research databases including Factiva, OneSource and Hoovers alongside the public sources above. Modelling and statistical validation are run in SAS and SPSS.

Forecasting

The forecast is not a growth rate applied to a base year. It is built from the drivers that are expected to change, each one stated so a reader can disagree with it.

Forecast approach, this report

The forecast is built from projected hospital bed growth and new facility construction by region, combined with the pace at which existing liquid oxygen and cylinder manifold installations are converted to on-site generation. Pricing is held broadly flat in real terms, since generator equipment costs have not shown a sustained inflation or deflation trend, while installation and commissioning labor costs are assumed to track regional wage growth. The 2021 to 2022 period is normalized for the exceptional oxygen-capacity investment triggered by pandemic-related demand spikes, since that surge does not represent a repeatable annual pattern. The forecast holds only if hospital capital budgets continue to prioritize supply-security infrastructure over the study period.

Triangulation and validation

No figure enters a report on the strength of one source. Where the two sizing routes disagree the difference is not averaged away — the assumption causing it is isolated, tested against a third independent measure, and either corrected or carried forward as a stated limitation. Historical years are back-tested against the growth actually recorded before any forecast is allowed to run forward from them.

Validation, this report

Outputs are back-tested against recorded hospital construction and healthcare capital-expenditure growth for 2020 through 2024 to confirm the historical build does not diverge from independently reported infrastructure spending. Segment-level shifts, particularly the transition from cylinder manifold systems toward on-site generation, were reviewed against the installation and service contract mix reported by the manufacturers named in this report. Sensitivities were run on the generator-adoption rate and on regional hospital construction pipelines, the two assumptions most likely to move the forecast if either proves faster or slower than assumed. A scenario where generator adoption stalls in cost-constrained markets was tested separately to confirm the bear case still holds.

Confidence and limitations

Where an estimate is firm and where it is not is stated rather than left to be inferred from the precision of the number.

Confidence framing, this report

Confidence is strongest for the system-type split and for North America and Europe, where installed-base replacement patterns are well documented and the manufacturer base is concentrated enough to triangulate against. It is weaker for Middle East and Africa country-level figures, where new hospital construction pipelines are reported unevenly and generator adoption data is thinner. The application and end-user splits rest more on proxy reasoning than on direct disclosure, since few suppliers report revenue at that level of detail. A material change in public hospital capital budgets in any single large market, particularly a country carrying an outsized regional share, would be the most likely trigger for revision.
