Durable Medical Equipment Market Overview

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.
