The market for bathroom safety equipment is expected to grow at the fastest pace, advancing at a CAGR of 8.5% during the forecast period. Increasing number of fall cases and rise in geriatric population are the supporting elements for the growth of the market. Elderly patients have a high requirement for toilet rails and frames, to provide secure grip and avoid falls. The monitoring and therapeutic equipment category in the European durable medical equipment market is further classified into blood glucose monitors, infusion pumps, vital sign monitors, oxygen equipment, and others. The market for vital sign monitors is expected to attain a value of more than $5.0 billion by 2024, attributed to the increasing number of diabetic patients in the region. As per the projections made by the WHO, deaths caused by diabetes are expected to double between 2005 and 2030 in the region. On the basis of end user, the European durable medical equipment market is fragmented into hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, home care settings, and others.
