Latin American Home Medical Equipment Market worth $1,547.24 Million By 2022
The Latin American Home Medical Equipment Market is expected to reach
$1,547.24 million by 2022 with a CAGR of 7.0% over the period of 2016 to 2022.
Latin American region is
characterized by the increasing population and rising incidence of various
diseases. The United Nations projects that the share of Latin America’s
population that is aged 65 or over will triple by mid-century, from 6.3 percent
in 2005 to 18.5 percent in 2050. Also, several Latin American countries,
including Brazil, Chile, and Mexico, may have older populations than the United
States in near future. Decreasing fertility rates, coupled with increasing
overall life expectancy, cited to success in combating infectious diseases
fueled much of the increase in life expectancy over the last six decades in
this region. As a result, demand for elderly care is expected to rise
significantly. This geriatric population base is highly susceptible to various
diseases such as diabetes, blood pressure, sleep apnea, arthritis, and
cardiovascular. Therefore, the growing global geriatric population base coupled
with the fact that approximately 70% of home health patients belong to the age
group of 65 years and above, is expected to drive market demand for home medical
equipment across Latin America during the forecast period.

The significant rise in
healthcare spending is another key reason for the increased adoption of home
medical equipment. Over the past decade, a number of countries in this region
have witnessed a significant growth in healthcare spending as a percentage of
their GDP. Moreover, changing demographics and epidemiology are further
obscuring this situation. Owing to this, the focus on alternative and more
economical methods of treatments, such as home healthcare, is significantly
increasing across the region. The shift to home healthcare is one of several
strategies being deployed to reduce the inexorable growth in the cost of
delivering healthcare services. As a result, some types of medical devices and
home healthcare equipment originally designed for exclusive use in hospitals
and clinical settings by trained professionals are being redesigned for use by
patients and lay caregivers in home environments. This dramatic shift in the
delivery of healthcare is creating new opportunities for manufacturers of home
medical equipment. In addition, technological advancements such as tele-health,
wearable devices, mobile health applications etc. and government initiatives to
promote home healthcare are also fueling the growth of home medical equipment
market in this region. However, patient safety concerns, equipment
effectiveness issues, and unstable economy of some countries could hamper the
growth of Latin American home medical equipment market to certain extent.
