U.S. Durable Medical Equipment Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report By Product (Personal Mobility Devices, Bathroom Safety Devices, Medical Furniture, Monitoring and Therapeutic Devices, Others), By End User – Market Forecast, 2025–2034
Description
The U.S. durable medical equipment market size is expected to reach USD 252.24 billion by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “U.S. Durable Medical Equipment Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report By Product (Personal Mobility Devices, Bathroom Safety Devices and Medical Furniture, Monitoring and Therapeutic Devices, Others), By End User; Market Forecast, 2025–2034” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.
Durable medical equipment (DME) refers to reusable medical devices designed to help in diagnosing, treating, or managing medical conditions, injuries, or disabilities. These devices include wheelchairs, hospital beds, oxygen equipment, and walkers. DME is usually prescribed by healthcare providers to improve patients' quality of life, enhance mobility, and support recovery. It is intended for long-term use in home settings rather than in hospitals.
U.S. durable medical equipment is regulated by Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurers, which set coverage criteria. Medicare Part B covers DME such as CPAP machines or diabetic supplies if prescribed. Suppliers operating in the market must be Medicare-approved. The U.S. DME market is vast, driven by aging populations and chronic diseases, with strict FDA oversight ensuring safety and efficacy.
U.S. Durable Medical Equipment Market Report Highlights
In terms of product, the personal mobility devices segment accounted for 4.95% of the U.S. durable medical equipment market share in 2024 due to the rising prevalence of mobility impairments, the growing geriatric population, and the increasing incidence of chronic conditions such as arthritis and osteoporosis.
The monitoring and therapeutic devices segment is projected to register a CAGR of 7.23% from 2025 to 2034, owing to the rising incidence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other respiratory disorders, coupled with an aging population.
The end use, the hospitals segment accounted for 27.13% of revenue share in 2024 due to their high patient inflow, advanced infrastructure, and extensive utilization of durable medical devices across diverse medical specialties.
A few key players in the U.S. durable medical equipment market include Becton, Dickinson and Company; Cardinal Health; Carex Health Brands, Inc.; Compass Health Brands; Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare; GE Healthcare; GF Health Products, Inc.; Invacare Corporation; Koninklijke Philips NV; Medline Industries, Inc.; Medtronic PLC; Nihon Kohden Corporation; Pride Mobility; and Sunrise Medical.
