Palm Beach, FL – November 9, 2021 – FinancialNewsMedia.com News Commentary – Over the last few years, and with the ‘help’ of the pandemic, home health care medical equipment industry has surged. Home medical equipment are medical devices that offer safe, convenient, cost-effective, and suitable environment to patients within their home. The home medical equipment market has transformed within recent years, owing to increase in prevalence of various chronic diseases across the globe. Further, oxygen-related products in home medical equipment are gaining high adoption, due to significant increase in incidence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) worldwide. Numerous devices are used for patient care at home, for example, infusion pumps, wheel chair, apnea monitors, glucose meters, and cannula. For instance, glucose meters or glucometers are routinely used at home to assess the level of glucose in blood for diabetics. Further, new technologies such as needle-free diabetic care, medication administration equipment, and durable medical equipment, such as medical beds and lift chairs, propel the home medical equipment market growth. However, high cost associated with these devices is anticipated to hamper the growth of home medical equipment market. A report from Allied Market Research said that the global home medical equipment market size, which was valued at $30,545.34 million in 2019, is estimated to reach $56,457.87 million by 2027, registering a CAGR of 6.1% from 2020 to 2027. It added that the therapeutic segment accounted for majority of home medical equipment market share in 2019 and is anticipated to continue its dominance throughout the forecast period. This is attributed to increased usage of therapeutic products for home care such as home respiratory therapy products and ventilators. Active healthcare companies in the markets this week include Quipt Home Medical Corp. (NASDAQ: QIPT) (TSX-V: QIPT), AdaptHealth Corp. (NASDAQ: AHCO), ResMed Inc. (NYSE: RMD), Amedisys, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMED), Apria, Inc. (NASDAQ: APR).
The report continued: “The growth of the global home medical equipment market is driven by the increase in incidence of chronic diseases and considerable rise in geriatric population across the globe. Furthermore, technological advancements in home care medical equipment such as smaller size, portability and ease to access contributes to the market growth. However, surge in concerns related to patient safety and difficulty in adapting to medical devices restrain the growth. The growth potential in the emerging economies of Asia-Pacific is expected to provide numerous opportunities for market expansion during the forecast period. North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA. North America accounted for the largest market share in the home medical equipment market in (recent years) and is expected to retain its dominance throughout the forecast period(2027). This is attributed to the surge in chronic diseases such as asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure, and others in this region. However, Asia-Pacific is anticipated to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period owing to surge in disposable income, rise in awareness among people toward benefits of homecare medical devices.”
