The global market for medical air is estimated at $1.12 billion.
Medical air is the reliable supply of clean, dry, filtered, medical grade compressed air that is compressed to about 345-380 kilo Pascal pressure (about thrice atmospheric pressure) for use in life support systems, and other medical procedures such as surgery. Compressed medical air is used to transport medicine and anaesthetics for inhalation, and for critical care ventilation. In the pharmaceuticals industry, oil and contamination free compressed air is required at every stage of the drug manufacturing chain.
The global market for medical air is estimated at $1.12 billion annually, growing at 8% every year including in India. Several international standards such as NFPA 99 in the US, CSA in Canada, NF EN ISO 7396-1, HTM 02-01 and European pharmacopeia specifications all make stringent requirements for the production and use of medical air.
