Report Overview

The global durable medical equipment market size was valued at USD 208.5 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9% from 2023 to 2030. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the operations and financial liquidity of market players. The growing incidence of cancer, cardiac disorders, neurological conditions, and gynecological complications is likely to drive the product demand over the forecast period. The COVID-19 pandemic also disrupted the supply chain of durable medical equipment (DME) due to the lockdown imposed by the government. The supply chain interruptions have occurred for items such as oxygen equipment, CPAPs and RADs, and nebulizers. The storage of the supply has created complications for the high-risk patients which has further increased the overall demand for the products in the market.

Durable medical equipment helps improve accessibility to perform the task in daily living. DME is covered under Medicare but does not cover disposable items. Medicare Part-B beneficiaries pay 20% of the approved cost of the product and the remaining 80% is paid by Medicare. Better coverage and reimbursement policies for DME products are also likely to help boost the DME market growth. In addition, the rising number of elderly care centers because of the increasing geriatric population base across the globe is projected to drive the DME market further.

Elderly people have low immunity levels and thus, are prone to skeletal, cardiac, and neurological problems, which increases the need for long-term care and recovery. This, in turn, is estimated to augment the demand for DME products over the coming years. According to the UN data published in 2017, the population aged 60+ years was around 960 million, which accounted for 13.0% of the global population.

Durable medical equipment plays an important role in long-term care after surgery at home or any other healthcare setting. This is also estimated to propel market growth. On the other hand, stringent regulatory guidelines in developed economies and the lack of skilled professionals for this equipment are said to hinder industry growth.

Product Insights

Based on product, the market is segmented into bathroom safety devices and medical furniture, personal mobility devices, and monitoring and therapeutic devices. In 2022, the monitoring and therapeutic devices segment held a market share of 89.4% owing to growing incidence of lifestyle-related diseases, which need vital statistics analysis, and increasing demand for wireless monitoring devices.The market is gaining prominence due to the rising number of health and fitness monitoring applications and devices globally such as wristwatch, fitness band and smart glasses which can monitor heart rate, oxygen, temperature and provide critical health analysis to avoid uncertainty.

The bathroom safety device and medical furniture registered the highest growth rate of 7.0% due to the increasing prevalence of obesity and bariatric surgeries worldwide. The introduction of technologically advanced products with supreme patient comfort and portability is expected to fuel the segment growth.

End Use Insights

Based on end use, the market has been segmented into hospitals, nursing homes, home healthcare, and others. Hospitals led the end-use segment with 34.0% in 2022 on account of a high volume of patients due to the increasing chronic diseases globally and increased financing and services capabilities of these healthcare settings.

Nursing homes are considered to provide the most extensive care that can be offered in a non-hospital setting. Along with the basic line of treatment, nursing homes also offer custodial care, which includes skilled care, such as bathing, dressing, and providing meals. The segment is anticipated to witness a lucrative share over the forecast period on account of the increasing number of these establishments across the globe. Home healthcare is expected to witness the highest growth rate over the forecast period due to the cost-saving approach for the patient to get remote healthcare services.

Regional Insights

North America accounted for the highest market share of 34.9% in 2021. The rapid adoption of advanced equipment in the U.S. has allowed the region to account for a larger market share. The presence of leading manufacturers and quick adoption of advanced products are projected to boost the region’s growth further. The region is continuously developing cost-efficient and advanced devices for the patients to capture a huge share of the market. In addition, the rise in the number of hospitals and the growing geriatric population are factors responsible for the regional market growth.

Durable Medical Equipment Market Trends, by Region, 2023 - 2030

The Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region during the forecast period because of the rising target population base with increasing chronic diseases, the need for medical equipment by the patients, and supportive government initiatives. Moreover, economic strides made by countries, such as China, India, and South Korea, coupled with improvements in healthcare infrastructure will contribute to the region’s growth.
