CLEVELAND, July 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- US medical equipment and supply demand is forecast to reach $129 billion in 2021, according to Medical Equipment & Supplies: United States, a report recently released by Freedonia Focus Reports. Continued increases in demand for medical services – driven in large part by the aging of the population and supported by gains in disposable personal income – will boost sales of associated equipment and supplies. New product introductions will also drive sales as providers and patients seek the latest innovations in selecting treatment options.

Growth in US shipments of medical equipment and supplies is expected to slightly outpace US demand as healthcare expenditures in developing regions (eg, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East) are projected to outperform US spending. For instance, Asia is forecast to see 8.4% annual gains in nominal healthcare spending to 2021. In 2016, China represented the third leading destination for US exports. Over the 2006-2016 period, US exports to China increased at a 16% average annual pace, outperforming the 3.4% average yearly growth in US exports.

These and other key insights are featured in Medical Equipment & Supplies: United States. This report forecasts to 2021 US medical equipment and supply demand and shipments in US dollars at the manufacturers' level. Total demand and shipments are segmented by product in terms of:
