The durable medical equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $229.95 billion in 2025 to $248.58 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising aging population, increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, expansion of home healthcare services, improved reimbursement coverage for dme, growing availability of assistive medical devices.
The durable medical equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $334.08 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for home healthcare solutions, rising adoption of connected medical devices, expansion of value-based care models, growing focus on patient-centric care delivery, increasing investments in digital health infrastructure. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of home-based medical equipment, rising demand for remote patient monitoring devices, growing focus on long-term care solutions, expansion of smart and connected dme products, enhanced emphasis on patient mobility and independence.
The rising number of surgical procedures is projected to drive the growth of the durable medical equipment (DME) market in the future. Surgical procedures encompass medical interventions that involve making incisions or employing minimally invasive techniques to treat, repair, remove, or diagnose conditions within the body. Durable medical equipment plays a vital role in various surgical procedures by providing support and comfort for patients, mobility assistance, safety and stability, infection control, enhanced surgical outcomes, and shorter hospitalization durations. For example, in June 2024, a report from the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, a US-based organization for board-certified aesthetic plastic surgeons, indicated that the total number of surgical and non-surgical procedures increased by 3.4% in 2023, reaching 34.9 million. Procedures related to the face and head experienced notable growth, totaling over 6.5 million, which is a 19.6% rise from the previous year. Noteworthy procedures included eyelid surgeries, with more than 1.7 million performed and a 24% increase, rhinoplasties with 1.1 million procedures reflecting a 21.6% rise, and lip enhancement/perioral procedures, which grew by 29% to reach 0.9 million. Thus, the increasing number of surgical procedures is propelling the growth of the durable medical equipment market.
Major players in the durable medical equipment sector are increasingly emphasizing strategic partnerships to broaden their operational capabilities. Strategic partnerships involve organizations combining complementary strengths and resources to generate shared value and long-term success. For example, in November 2023, Humana Inc., a for-profit health insurance company based in Kentucky, entered into partnerships with two nationwide durable medical equipment organizations, AdaptHealth Corp. and Rotech Healthcare Inc., to deliver durable medical equipment services to its Medicare Advantage HMO members. These partnerships aim to enhance access to equipment, deliver greater value, and simplify the overall experience for individuals managing their healthcare needs at home. AdaptHealth Corp. is a Pennsylvania-based provider specializing in home healthcare equipment, while Rotech Healthcare Inc., headquartered in Florida, offers services including ventilators, oxygen therapy, sleep apnea treatment, wound care solutions, and a wide range of home medical equipment.
In June 2024, Strive Medical LLC, a United States-based healthcare supplies company, completed the acquisition of ProMed DME LLC for an undisclosed consideration. Through this transaction, Strive Medical LLC seeks to strengthen its presence in the diabetic supplies segment and broaden its product portfolio, with a particular focus on continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) solutions, to expand its patient reach and reinforce its standing as a leading independent specialty distributor of home medical supplies. ProMed DME LLC is a United States-based durable medical equipment provider that focuses on the distribution of diabetes, urology, and wound care products.
