Global Durable Medical Equipment (DME) Market by End Use (Hospitals, Nursing Homes) and Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa), Forecast To 2028

Industry Insights

Global Durable Medical Equipment market was valued at USD168.87 billion in 2018. It is forecast to grow 6.1% during the forecast period. Medical equipment that is durable can be used to manage various conditions and illnesses and provide convenience and therapeutic benefits for patients.

Product demand will increase due to increasing incidences of cancer, heart disease, neurological conditions, ophthalmic illnesses, and gynecological problems. DME market growth will also be boosted by better coverage and reimbursement policies. The DME market will also be driven by the rising number of elderly care centres due to the growing geriatric population.

Low immunity levels in elderly people make them more susceptible to neurological, skeletal and cardiac problems. This makes it even more important that they receive long-term care. According to estimates, this will increase the demand for DME products in the future. The UN published data in 2017 that showed that the world's population over 60 was approximately 960 million. This represented 13.0% of the total population.

Long-term medical equipment plays an important role in providing long-term support after surgery. The market is expected to grow due to this. However, the industry is expected to be hindered by strict regulatory guidelines in developed countries and a shortage of skilled professionals who can repair these machines.

Product Insights

The market can be divided by product into personal mobility devices, bathroom safety products, medical furniture, monitoring and therapeutic devices. The market share held by personal mobility devices was 8.5% in 2018. It is expected to grow at a maximum CAGR 6.4% during the forecast period. People Inc. introduced People First Mobility (PFM) as a DME supplier in January 2016. It provides a powered wheelchair, hospital bed, lift, and scooters to people with developmental disabilities who require special attention.

Segment growth is expected to be fueled by the introduction of highly technologically advanced products that offer superior patient comfort and portability. Infusion pumps, nebulizers, blood sugar monitors and other therapeutic devices include oxygen equipment, suction pumps and Continuous Positive Airway Pressure, (CPAP), traction equipment and others. Other products include wound care products and cardiology devices.

In 2018, the market share for other segments was highest. The segment's growth is expected to be boosted by rising cases of lifestyle-related illnesses and increased demand for wireless monitoring devices. Due to the increasing prevalence of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the segment of neonatars will be the second fastest growing over the forecast period.

End Use Insights

The market can be divided into hospitals, nursing homes, and home healthcare based on its end-use. Due to the high patient volume and better financing, hospitals dominated the end-use segment. Nursing homes provide the best care in a non-hospital setting. Nursing homes offer more than just basic care. They also provide custodial care which includes skilled care such as dressing and bathing, as well as providing meals. This segment will see a significant increase in demand due to the growing number of such facilities around the world.

Regional Insights

North America is expected be a major contributor to the global market. The region will continue to grow due to the presence of top manufacturers and rapid adoption of new products. The market will also benefit from a growing number of hospitals and a growing elderly population. As a result, Asia Pacific will be the region with the fastest growth rate during the forecast period. This is due to the growing target population and the support of government initiatives.

The Indian Government envisioned a National Health Policy in 2017 to ensure quality healthcare outcomes. It also introduced Draft National Medical Device Policy in 2015 to decrease dependence on imports and give impetus for the Make in India initiative. The new Goods and Services Tax (GST), at 12%, was also implemented. This is expected to reduce manufacturing costs and lower final product prices. The region's growth will also be aided by the economic progress made by countries like China, India, South Korea, and improvements in healthcare infrastructure.
