The demographic trend of an ageing European population is reshaping the retail market for medical supplies, notably due to the increased prevalence of issues like reduced mobility and hearing impairment among seniors. This shift bolsters the sales of medical and orthopaedic supplies across the continent, particularly as seniors become a more significant consumer segment for these products as the ageing population climbs. Traditional pharmacy chains are diversifying into the medical devices sector, offering items like blood pressure monitors at competitive prices and challenging specialised retailers. Online retailers compound the competition with lower-priced offerings attributable to their minimal operational expenses. Major companies are strategically acquiring smaller businesses to enhance their global reach and strengthen their European market standing. These trends underline a robust market environment catering to the senior demographic's needs, with expanding product ranges, competitive pricing and industry consolidation contributing to overall profitability and dynamism within the sector. However, online retailers are capturing a larger market share by offering basic medical supplies at competitive prices and providing a more convenient shopping experience. This shift is leading to a drop in revenue within the traditional medical supply industry. Industry revenue is forecast to grow at a compound annual rate of 1.2% over the five years through 2025 to €430 billion, including an estimated hike of 0.9% in 2025, while the average industry profit margin is expected to dip slightly to 9.4% amid climbing purchase costs. A hike in the hearing aid market is likely because of rising healthcare standards. In response, industry trends suggest medical orthopaedic retailers will diversify their offerings and add services like hearing tests to enhance market presence. Retailers are capitalising on the opportunity to facilitate increased hearing aid sales through the provision of comprehensive services, meeting the evolving demands of an ageing population in pursuit of hearing health solutions. Companies in the industry should rally behind the proposed EU Critical Medicines Act to strengthen the pharmaceutical supply chain and the industry's future. Industry revenue is forecast to swell at a compound annual rate of 4.6% over the five years through 2030 to €538.5 billion.
