U.S. Durable Medical Equipment Market Worth $83.3 Billion By 2028

U.S. Durable Medical Equipment Market Growth & Trends

The U.S. durable medical equipment market size is expected to reach USD 83.3 billion by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.8% over the forecast period, according to a new report published by Grand View Research, Inc. The rising prevalence of chronic diseases, growing geriatric population requiring long-term care, and increasing penetration of home healthcare services & staff are the key factors driving the product demand. The demand for DME is projected to witness a rise during the forecast period due to high adoption.

The growing aging population and rising shift towards shorter hospital stays are making home healthcare more common. With these trends, a significant number of medical devices, such as patient monitoring systems and mobility aids, are in great demand. Furthermore, the current coronavirus pandemic has presented unusual and extraordinary challenges to the healthcare system.

As the virus continues to spread, there is an increasing demand for home treatment for a number of health issues, including those directly or indirectly related to COVID-19. As hospital discharges become more prevalent to manage the current resources, the resultant demand and production put a strain on DME providers, especially for home oxygen and ventilator suppliers, which is projected to increase significantly. The ventilator circuit and other respiratory supplies are on a major supply crunch.
