Methodology

How the estimates were built: data sources, modelling approach and validation steps.

Research approach

A market size is a claim about the world, and a claim is only as good as the route to it. Every study is built upward from units and prices — what is actually produced, sold or performed, at what it actually changes hands for — rather than from a headline figure divided downwards. Disclosed company revenue is then used to check that build, not to produce it.

Market size estimation, this report

The estimate is built upward from unit volumes and realised prices for each equipment and service category: home respiratory and infusion device shipments, dialysis and diagnostic monitor placements, and billable home nursing and therapy visit counts, each multiplied by category-specific average selling prices or reimbursement rates drawn from payer fee schedules. This bottom-up build is then checked against disclosed revenue from named device manufacturers and home care service providers operating in the categories covered. Where the unit-level build and disclosed company revenue diverge, the correction is made to the bottom-up volume or price assumption, most often the assumed visit frequency or device replacement cycle, rather than by averaging the two figures together.

The four stages

The same sequence runs behind every published study, whatever the industry. The order matters as much as the steps: the segment axes are fixed before any number is collected, so the model is never reshaped to fit whatever data happens to turn up.

What the build rests on, and what checks it

The two are not interchangeable. The left column produces the number; the right column tests it. When the check disagrees with the build, the answer is to find which bottom-up assumption is wrong — a unit count, a price, a take-up rate — not to split the difference between them.

The bottom-up build rests on
  • Volume actually transacted — units produced, installed, dispensed or procedures performed, counted at the level each is genuinely recorded
  • Realised pricing by tier and channel, rather than one blended average applied across the whole market
  • Take-up and frequency: how much of the addressable base buys, and how often it repeats
The build is checked against
  • Disclosed revenue of the companies serving the market, where filings separate it far enough to be usable
  • Buyer-side spending totals — capital budgets, procurement lines, or the output of the end market the product is bought against
  • Trade and customs flows, where the product crosses borders in a separately recorded form

Data sources

Published data establishes what happened. Only the people transacting in a market can say why, and what is about to change — so the two are collected separately and weighted differently.

Primary — who is interviewed
  • Commercial and product leadership at the companies that supply the market
  • Procurement and specification leads at the organisations that buy it
  • Distributors, integrators and channel partners, where the market is served indirectly
  • Regulatory and standards specialists, where approval governs what can be sold at all
Secondary — what is read
  • Company filings, annual reports and investor disclosure
  • Government statistics, customs records and regulatory registers
  • Trade association output and standards-body publications
  • Technical and peer-reviewed literature, where the market rests on a clinical or engineering claim
Primary research design, this report

Interviews target commercial and procurement leaders at home healthcare agencies and durable medical equipment distributors, clinical and reimbursement staff at payers who set coverage terms for home-based services, and regulatory affairs contacts at device manufacturers who track clearance timelines for home-use equipment. Sampling weights toward the United States and Germany, where home healthcare reimbursement frameworks are most established and best documented, with lighter coverage extended into Japan and the larger Gulf markets to capture emerging public and private payer activity. Distribution and service-delivery contacts are included alongside device-side respondents so that both the equipment and services halves of the category are represented.

Secondary sources, this report

Desk research draws on device clearance and registration listings such as the FDA's 510(k) database and the EU's EUDAMED registry for home-use therapeutic and diagnostic equipment, home health agency accreditation and claims data published by CMS for the United States market, and customs trade codes covering home medical equipment shipments. Trade-body benchmarks from home healthcare and durable medical equipment associations supplement company-level disclosures, and national health insurance reimbursement schedules are used to cross-check the pricing assumptions applied to skilled nursing, therapy and hospice visit categories across the markets covered.

Desk research runs across proprietary research databases including Factiva, OneSource and Hoovers alongside the public sources above. Modelling and statistical validation are run in SAS and SPSS.

Forecasting

The forecast is not a growth rate applied to a base year. It is built from the drivers that are expected to change, each one stated so a reader can disagree with it.

Forecast approach, this report

The forecast is built from projected growth in the population aged 65 and over, the pace at which payers extend reimbursement coverage to home-based alternatives for procedures historically performed in hospital, and the adoption curve for connected monitoring devices that extend equipment use into ongoing chronic-care management. Pricing is assumed to track existing reimbursement schedules rather than shift materially, and the model normalises for the demand pulled forward into home respiratory and monitoring categories during 2020-2021, treating those years as an elevated base rather than a sustained new growth rate. The forecast holds only if reimbursement policy continues to favor home-based care over inpatient alternatives.

Triangulation and validation

No figure enters a report on the strength of one source. Where the two sizing routes disagree the difference is not averaged away — the assumption causing it is isolated, tested against a third independent measure, and either corrected or carried forward as a stated limitation. Historical years are back-tested against the growth actually recorded before any forecast is allowed to run forward from them.

Validation, this report

Historical outputs were back-tested against recorded growth in home healthcare agency claims volume and device shipment data for 2020-2024 to confirm the bottom-up build reproduces observed history before being extended forward. Segment-level share shifts, including the growing weight of diagnostic and monitoring devices, were reviewed against the interview sample to confirm they match what commercial and clinical contacts describe seeing in the field. Sensitivities were tested on reimbursement policy timing and on the pace of remote monitoring adoption, since these two assumptions move the forecast total more than any pricing input.

Confidence and limitations

Where an estimate is firm and where it is not is stated rather than left to be inferred from the precision of the number.

Confidence framing, this report

Confidence is firmest in the therapeutic equipment and skilled nursing service categories, where device clearance records and agency claims data are detailed and regularly updated. It is thinner in diagnostic and monitoring device adoption and in several emerging markets across the Middle East and Africa, where reporting is less consistent and reimbursement frameworks are still forming. A structural change in home care reimbursement policy in a major market, or a slower-than-assumed rollout of connected monitoring devices, would be the most likely source of a future revision to this estimate.
