Durable Medical Equipment (DME) Market Intelligence and Analysis for Period 2016 - 2024

Durable medical equipment (DME) can be defined as devices and products that serve medical purposes and that can tolerate frequent and/or subsequent usage. These equipment are predominately used to assist and improve the quality of life of patients with injuries and disorders. The global durable medical equipment market is driven by technological advances and cost containment efforts. Government subsidy and public private partnerships have increased the number of health care services and settings. This is likely to create openings for market players smoothing demand for DME. Home health care is a budget effective substitute and developing usage of these equipment in home health care settings acts as a key driver of the durable medical equipment market.

The geriatric population is a crucial target population for DME devices. The geriatric population is vulnerable to chronic diseases that require long term care. Prevalence of chronic disorders is likely to drive the global durable medical equipment market. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer is expected to rise by 75% over the next two decades. Moreover, the number of people suffering from diseases would increase to 23.3 million by 2030. According to the United Nations, the number of people aged 62 years and above is projected to increase from 845 million in 2013 to over 2 billion by 2050.

DME products are distributed largely by national and local providers; other channels, like third party distributors or mail-in orders. The DME market is highly consolidated, and has more than 100k players. However, high cost of equipment, regulatory changes, and limited reimbursement rates for medical equipment restrain the global durable medical equipment market. For example, competitive bidding, an ongoing Medicare initiative to bring DME reimbursement policies in line with other clients, has adversely impacted some of the DME distributors and manufacturers. New innovative product developments through research and development, collaborations, mergers and acquisitions are the key strategies undertaken by small and large players in the DME industry.
