U.S. Durable Medical Equipment Market Size to Expand from US$ 70.5 Bn to US$ 103.3 Bn, Persistence Market Research Finds

The U.S. durable medical equipment (DME) market is on a robust growth trajectory, projected to expand from US$ 70.5 billion in 2025 to US$ 103.3 billion by 2032, registering a CAGR of 5.6%. According to Persistence Market Research, this expansion is being fueled by the growing prevalence of chronic diseases, an aging population, and policy reforms aimed at enhancing patient access. The market encompasses a wide range of equipment designed for long-term medical use, such as monitoring devices, personal mobility aids, and therapeutic systems.

Monitoring and therapeutic devices are expected to dominate with a 54.7% market share in 2025, supported by the rising adoption of at-home care for chronic conditions like diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Geographically, the Southeast U.S. is projected to lead with 29.4% market share, driven by a high retiree population in states such as Florida and the increasing incidence of COPD.

Market Segmentation

By Product Type:

The market is segmented into personal mobility devices, bathroom safety devices & medical furniture, and monitoring & therapeutic devices. Among these, monitoring and therapeutic devices are set to command the largest share, thanks to increasing patient preference for home-based care and the growing use of neuromonitoring during surgical procedures. Rising rates of diabetes-affecting 38 million Americans according to the CDC-are accelerating demand for continuous glucose monitoring systems and other chronic care equipment.

By End-use:

The market is categorized into hospitals, specialty clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, diagnostic centers, and home healthcare. Hospitals are forecast to account for 43.8% of the market in 2025, underpinned by their capacity to handle emergency and inpatient care. Expanding hospital networks, like Orlando Health's orthopedic hospital in Florida, will further drive procurement. Meanwhile, home healthcare is emerging as a fast-growing segment due to convenience, cost-effectiveness, and patient-centric care models.

Regional Insights

West U.S.:

The West is witnessing strong growth in DME adoption due to its rising elderly population. California alone expects a 40%+ increase in residents aged 65+ by 2040, driving demand for home oxygen therapy, wheelchairs, and sleep apnea devices. However, rural access challenges persist, particularly in states like Arizona.

Southeast U.S.:

Accounting for 29.4% share in 2025, this region's market is driven by high COPD prevalence in states like Tennessee and Louisiana. Expanded Medicaid access in states like North Carolina is also enabling more patients to obtain home healthcare and DME solutions.

Market Drivers

The first major driver is policy reforms and Medicare flexibility. CMS programs, such as the DMEPOS Competitive Bidding Program, have reduced costs while expanding patient access. The shift toward value-based care is increasing coverage scope and affordability for long-term use equipment.
The second driver is chronic disease prevalence. Over 133 million Americans-nearly 43% of the population-live with one or more chronic illnesses. This is pushing healthcare providers to adopt long-term monitoring and therapeutic solutions that minimize hospital visits.
Finally, aging demographics are significantly boosting demand for mobility devices and home-use equipment, with baby boomers moving into the 65+ category by 2030.

Market Restraints

A key restraint remains financial barriers for non-Medicare/Medicaid patients. Out-of-pocket expenses average US$ 1,650 annually, and Medicare Part B still requires patients to pay 20% of equipment costs. High-ticket items such as advanced wheelchairs or home ventilators can thus be prohibitive for privately insured or underinsured individuals.
Additionally, limited rural access to specialty equipment constrains growth, especially in states without strong Medicaid expansion policies.

Market Opportunities

The most promising opportunity lies in mobile durable equipment services targeting rural and underserved markets. With over 130 rural hospital closures in the past decade, mobile delivery and remote monitoring solutions are bridging critical gaps.
Another opportunity is customization-designing equipment for niche groups like pediatric or bariatric patients, who often require non-standard sizing and specifications.

Finally, AI integration in monitoring devices offers new frontiers for early disease detection, personalized care, and reduced hospitalization rates.
