Oxygen Concentrator Price in Pakistan 2026: Flow Rate and Model Comparison Guide

Quick Answer A 5 liter oxygen concentrator in Pakistan generally costs between PKR 80,000 and 150,000. An 8 liter model runs from about PKR 140,000 to 220,000, and a 10 liter machine costs between PKR 180,000 and 300,000. Renting is usually the cheaper option when the need is short term, such as recovery after surgery or a temporary illness.

When a doctor prescribes home oxygen therapy, the first question most families ask is how much an oxygen concentrator actually costs in Pakistan. The honest answer is that it depends heavily on flow rate and brand, not just on the number you see in an advert. You can browse current stock in the Oxygen Concentrator and Accessories category to see live pricing while you read through this guide.

Oxygen concentrators are not an impulse purchase for most families. They are usually bought after a hospital stay, a sudden diagnosis, or a doctor’s instruction to start home therapy, often at a stressful moment when there is little time to compare every option carefully. This guide is written to shortcut that research, covering flow rate pricing, what actually drives the cost up or down, and when renting makes more financial sense than buying outright.

Oxygen Concentrator Price Ranges in Pakistan by Flow Rate

Flow rate, measured in liters per minute, is the single biggest factor in oxygen concentrator pricing. A higher flow rate means a bigger motor, a larger unit, and a higher price, regardless of brand.

Flow Rate	Typical Price Range (PKR)	Common Use
5 Liter	80,000 to 150,000	Most home patients with mild to moderate needs
8 Liter	140,000 to 220,000	Patients who need a higher continuous flow
10 Liter	180,000 to 300,000	Severe respiratory cases, sometimes dual outlet for two patients

As an example of real world pricing, the Yuwell oxygen concentrator listed on our store shows how brand reputation and after sales support can shift the price within a single flow rate category. A 10 liter oxygen concentrator is a useful reference point at the higher end of that range, since it shows what buyers pay once purity and output requirements increase.

Portable vs Stationary Concentrators: Price and Use Case

Portable concentrators are battery powered, usually capped around 5 liters of output, and cost more per liter of oxygen delivered, typically between PKR 120,000 and 250,000. Stationary units are plug in only, heavier, and generally cheaper per liter, priced between PKR 80,000 and 200,000. Portability sounds appealing, but most Pakistani households actually keep the concentrator at home most of the time, so paying extra for a portable unit only makes sense if the patient genuinely travels or moves between rooms frequently during the day.

A fair way to test whether portability is worth paying for is to track how often the patient actually leaves the bedroom or the house in a typical week. If the answer is rarely, a stationary unit does the same job for meaningfully less money.

What Drives the Price: Brand, Oxygen Purity, Noise Level

Brand names commonly seen in Pakistan include Yuwell, Longfian, Philips, Devilbiss and Airsep, each with its own pricing tier. Oxygen purity is another factor, and while most machines claim around 90 to 96 percent purity when new, that figure tends to drop as filters age, which matters for anyone planning a long term purchase rather than a short rental. Noise level also affects price, and older or cheaper units can run above 45 decibels, which becomes noticeable overnight in a small bedroom.

If you are still deciding between an oxygen concentrator and a traditional oxygen cylinder, our earlier comparison on the difference between an oxygen concentrator and an oxygen cylinder walks through the tradeoffs in portability, ongoing cost and reliability.

Import Origin and Assembly: Why Two Machines With the Same Spec Sheet Cost Differently

Two concentrators can list nearly identical flow rate and purity numbers on paper and still be priced tens of thousands of rupees apart, mainly because of where the machine is manufactured and how it enters the country. Fully imported units from established brands tend to carry a higher price but usually come with more consistent quality control and clearer warranty terms. Locally assembled or lesser known imported units can be noticeably cheaper, but buyers should ask directly about warranty coverage and where spare parts and servicing actually come from before assuming the lower price is simply a better deal.

Renting vs Buying: Which Makes Sense

Renting an oxygen concentrator in Pakistan typically costs between PKR 5,000 and 15,000 per month depending on flow rate and city, and it is a sensible option for short term or post surgical recovery. Buying tends to offer better value once therapy is expected to continue past roughly 6 months, since rental costs add up quickly beyond that point. Not every supplier offers a rental option, so availability varies by city, and it is worth asking about maintenance support before committing either way.

For accessories such as humidifier bottles, nasal cannulas and filters, the Oxygen Concentrator Longfian model on our store page lists what typically comes included and what needs to be bought separately.

Ongoing Costs After You Buy

The purchase price is not the last expense. Filters typically need replacing every few months depending on how dusty the environment is, and the humidifier bottle should be refilled with distilled water and cleaned regularly to avoid bacterial growth. Electricity usage is also worth budgeting for, since a concentrator running continuously adds a noticeable amount to a monthly power bill, particularly at higher flow rates. None of these costs are large individually, but together they are worth planning for rather than being surprised by them a few months after purchase.

Second Hand and Used Oxygen Concentrators

Used oxygen concentrators are sold in Pakistan at noticeably lower prices, sometimes 30 to 50 percent below a new unit, but the savings come with real tradeoffs. A used machine has already logged running hours that reduce the life of its internal filters and sieve beds, and there is usually no way to verify oxygen purity without proper testing equipment, which most home buyers do not have access to. If budget makes a used unit the only realistic option, it is worth asking the seller for the machine’s total running hours and insisting on a working demonstration with a purity check before payment, rather than relying on appearance alone.

Backup Power and Load Shedding: A Real Concern in Pakistan

An oxygen concentrator is only useful while it has power, which makes load shedding a genuine safety concern rather than just an inconvenience for patients who depend on continuous therapy. Families relying on a concentrator for a serious respiratory condition should budget separately for a UPS or small backup battery sized to the machine’s power draw, and should also keep a backup oxygen cylinder on hand for outages that last longer than the battery can cover. This is not something most sellers mention upfront, but it is arguably as important as the concentrator’s flow rate when deciding on a total budget.

Buying Checklist Before You Order

Checklist Item	Why It Matters
Prescribed flow rate	Buying above or below what is prescribed wastes money or under treats the patient
Warranty and local service	Repairs are far cheaper and faster with local support than shipping a unit back
Noise level in dB	Matters most for continuous overnight use in a shared bedroom
Backup power plan	Load shedding can interrupt therapy without a UPS or backup cylinder
Filter and accessory availability	Ongoing running costs depend on how easily parts can be replaced locally

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the average oxygen concentrator price in Pakistan in 2026?
