The Durable Medical Equipment Market size was estimated to be US$ 203901.18 million in 2021 and US$ XX million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 339107.30 million by 2031; it is estimated to record a CAGR of 5.3% in till 2031. The market's growth is attributed to key driving factors such as the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, obesity, and stroke, the increasing geriatric population, and growing incidents of road accidents. Such factors are likely to remain key Durable Medical Equipment Market trends.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report 2018, approximately 9% of the population had diabetes, a leading cause of kidney failure and lower-limb amputations in the U.S. Also, the data suggest that nearly 1.5 million Americans are diagnosed with diabetes every year in the U.S. Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) account for 45.0% of all deaths in Europe and 37.0% of all deaths in the E.U. CVD is the primary reason for death in men and women in all countries. Therefore, a rise in the incidences of CVDs is likely to increase the demand for cardiovascular diagnostic devices, propelling the growth of the durable medical equipment market during the forecast period. Diabetes is becoming a life-threatening disease with no functional cure. It is primarily caused by the body’s inability to produce or utilize insulin. Diabetes is among the most common global health casualties of the 21st century. The incidence rate has increased significantly, leading to life-changing complications.
Rising cases of chronic diseases in both developed and emerging economies are driving the growth of durable medical equipment market.
Durable medical equipment (DME) is the utilities or devices that can be used for an extended period, which enables a patient to carry out daily activities. This equipment is used alone or can be used along with other devices for monitoring or therapeutic purposes. The products considered DME include personal mobility devices such as wheelchairs, walkers, and scooters and diagnostic devices like cardiac and blood glucose monitors. Monitoring devices help analyze a patient’s physiological parameters, such as blood pressure, heart rate, blood sugar, pulse rate, blood oxygen levels, and vital signs. These devices play a significant role as they help reduce patient hospitalization time and hospital visits. Therapeutic devices help treat respiratory diseases, cardiac conditions, and metabolic disorders like diabetes. Common therapeutic devices available in the market include infusion pumps, nebulizers, and oxygen equipment. The demand for DME has been rising due to the prevalence of chronic disorders such as sleep apnea, respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes.
Global durable medical equipment market is segmented by region into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East & Africa, and South & Central America. In North America, the US is the largest market for durable medical equipment. The growth of the durable medical equipment market in North America can be attributed to the rising prevalence of chronic disorders, the increasing geriatric population, and the rise in awareness programs. As per Canadian Lung Association, 26% of Canadian adults 18 years and above are at a higher risk of sleep apnea. The condition is among the underdiagnosed respiratory disease prevalent in Canada. Additionally, Continued Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy is the most common therapy for patients with sleep apnea. Therefore, there is an increase in CPAP therapy equipment in the country.
A significant increase in road accidents has increased the demand and supply of durable medical equipment during the forecast period. As per the estimates by the CDC, road traffic injuries are the eighth driving cause of death worldwide and are estimated to be the seventh driving cause of death by 2030. Injuries caused due to road accidents lead to deformities, amputations of limbs, fractures of bone, and severe pain in the different parts of the body. Other conditions caused due to injuries include spinal cord paralysis, head-brain injuries, facial disfigurement, and wrist and arm injuries. Personal mobility devices such as wheelchairs, walkers, canes, and crutches are advised for individuals recovering from these road accidents. Such a trend is likely to drive the overall durable medical equipment market during the forecast period.
Durable medical equipment(DME) can help maintain safety and a sense of independence, especially for the elderly or the geriatric population. They mainly provide support post-surgery at home or any healthcare settings. Four of the most common types of DME are shower chairs, bed rails, walkers and Hoyer lifts. These pieces can be expensive to purchase, and sometimes, renting them is a better use of resources.
Such advancements in recent years is likely to generate attractive growth opportunity for the durable medical equipment market.
Key segments that contributed to the derivation of the Durable Medical Equipment Market analysis are device type and end user.
The geographic scope of the Durable Medical Equipment Market report is mainly segmented into five regions: North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, the Middle East & Africa, and South America/South & Central America.
The Asia Pacific durable medical equipment market is expected to be the fastest-growing regionduring the forecast period. The region consists of the countries such as China, India, Japan, Australia, South Korea, and Rest of Asia Pacific. China holds the largest market share in this segment. China is regarded as an aging society, and the demand for related medical devices is expected to increase. By 2030, over 230 million people in China will be 60 or over. The growth of the market is categorized by an increasing number of market players involved in research and development activities. For instance, in January 2018, the global first clinical case of the MitralStitch mitral valve repair system, developed by Hangzhou DeJin Medtech Co., Ltd. (an affiliate company of DiNovA Medtech) was completed at Yunnan Fuwai Hospital, China.
