Growth is driven by the combined impact of an aging global population, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, and sustained investments in healthcare delivery models that emphasize decentralized and patient-centered care. The market is undergoing a significant transformation as healthcare systems increasingly shift from traditional facility-based treatment toward continuous care delivered within community and home settings. This transition is expanding the patient base that relies on durable medical equipment while increasing demand across a broad range of product categories, including mobility aids, patient support equipment, monitoring solutions, and essential medical consumables. The growing preference for home-based care is supported by advances in telehealth infrastructure, improved device accessibility, and expanding reimbursement coverage for a wider range of medical equipment. Beyond patient convenience, healthcare providers and payers are increasingly recognizing home care as a cost-effective approach that improves outcomes while reducing the burden on hospitals and other acute care facilities. These long-term structural trends are expected to remain key contributors to market expansion throughout the forecast period.
The personal mobility devices segment accounted for 10.3% share in 2025 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.3% through 2035. The segment continues to benefit from rising demand among elderly individuals and patients experiencing mobility limitations caused by chronic health conditions, injuries, or age-related physical decline. Increasing life expectancy and the expanding global senior population are creating favorable conditions for sustained demand within this category. As healthcare providers place greater emphasis on patient independence, mobility enhancement, and quality-of-life improvements, the adoption of personal mobility equipment is expected to increase steadily across both developed and emerging healthcare markets.
The hospitals segment held a 34% share in 2025. Hospitals remain major purchasers of durable medical equipment due to the broad range of products required for patient treatment, monitoring, mobility assistance, and clinical care delivery. Procurement activities within healthcare institutions are increasingly focused on balancing clinical effectiveness, operational efficiency, and long-term value. Ongoing investments in healthcare infrastructure, patient safety initiatives, and advanced treatment capabilities continue to support equipment purchases across public and private hospital systems worldwide.
North America Durable Medical Equipment Market held a 31.2% share, growing at a CAGR of 4% through 2035. The United States remains the primary contributor to regional growth, supported by a highly developed healthcare ecosystem, extensive reimbursement programs, and strong adoption of home healthcare services. The region continues to benefit from significant healthcare spending, widespread access to medical technologies, and growing demand for equipment that supports chronic disease management and aging populations. In addition, evolving reimbursement structures and value-based care initiatives are encouraging the use of home-based treatment solutions, remote patient monitoring technologies, and specialized medical equipment, further strengthening market growth across North America.
