Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/lxsl3p/india_medical) has announced the addition of the "India Medical Gases Market Forecast & Opportunities, 2019" report to their offering.

The medical gases market size in India, in volume terms, is forecast to witness a two folds increase by 2019, exhibiting a CAGR of about 15% during 2014-19.

As per WHO standards, a country should have 3.5 beds per thousand population, in order to effectively serve its residents. However, the hospital bed density in India was recorded at 1.3 beds per thousand of the population in 2010. Thus, healthcare sector in India offers a huge potential to grow in terms of service facilities as well as healthcare infrastructure. This is one of the major reasons expected to drive the future demand for medical gases in India over the next five years. The country is receiving substantial support from the government for the improvement of healthcare infrastructure. It can be witnessed from the fact that the Indian government has set a target to add 500 beds per 1,000,000 of the population under its 12th five year plan. Additionally, low cost treatment and availability of highly specialized doctors are positioning India as one of the most preferred destinations for medical tourism. India received over 350,000 medical tourists during 2012 and the number is expected to grow in coming years.

The report forebodes that INOX Air Products Limited is set to maintain its leadership position in the medical gases market through 2019. The medical gases market in India is highly dominated by region-specific players, which are offering a stiff competition to multinational companies. India's specialization in cardiology, orthopaedic surgery, etc., is expected to drive healthcare demand, particularly for medical oxygen and nitrous oxide, which are vital requirements of any healthcare setup. Currently, the northern region, followed by the southern region, is the leading demand generators for medical gases, particularly medical oxygen gas.
