The country is undergoing a significant demographic shift, marked by a rising elderly population. According to the Population Reference Bureau (PRB), the number of U.S. residents aged 65 and older is expected to grow from 58 million in 2022 to 82 million by 2050. This aging segment, being more susceptible to various health conditions, is expected to contribute significantly to the demand for home DME.

Additionally, the rising prevalence of chronic illnesses such as cancer, stroke, heart disease, and diabetes is a major contributor to market growth. As reported by the National Association of Chronic Diseases Directors (NACDD) in its 2022 publication on Chronic Disease Prevention, approximately 60% of Americans have at least one chronic condition. Moreover, over two-thirds of all deaths in the U.S. are attributed to one or more of five primary chronic diseases. Managing these conditions often requires DME like oxygen concentrators, nebulizers, inhalers, wheelchairs, and other support devices, which further drives market demand.
