Mortuary Equipment Market Industry Drivers: What’s Behind The Revenue Growth?
Rising mortality rates are projected to propel the growth of the mortuary equipment market going forward. The mortality rate, also known as the death rate, measures the number of fatalities in a specific location or period. As the death rate increases, so does the demand for mortuary equipment such as body bags, mortuary stretchers, lifting carts, mortuary washing units, and autopsy tables, which are used for preserving and storing deceased individuals. For instance, in September 2025, according to Eurostat, a Luxemburg-based government agency, excess mortality in the second quarter of 2025 rose compared with the same period in 2024, averaging 2.9% versus 2.6% the 2024. Therefore, the increasing mortality rates drive the growth of the mortuary equipment market.

#Mortuary Equipment Market Growth Trends: What’s Shaping The Future Outlook?
Major companies within the mortuary equipment market are concentrating on creating innovative products, such as biodegradable coffins, to encourage sustainable burial practices and minimize environmental impact. Biodegradable coffins represent environmentally sound choices, fabricated from natural materials that decompose swiftly, enabling human remains to return nutrients to the earth. For instance, in May 2023, Loop Biotech, a Dutch startup firm, introduced biodegradable mushroom coffins. The company utilizes upcycled hemp, combining it with mycelium, the root structure of mushrooms. Together, the mycelium and hemp fibers grow within a mold, a process completed in seven days, and these coffins biodegrade over 45 days.
