Us Bathroom and Toilet Assist Devices Market - Growth, Trends, Covid- 19 Impact, and Forecasts (2023 - 2028)

According to estimates, the COVID-19 pandemic helped expand the market. The measures taken by governments, recommending people, including elderly individuals, to stay at home during the pandemic, increased the demand for bathroom and toilet assistive gadgets. However, the demand for such gadgets has decreased due to the declining number of traffic accidents that cause disability.

In the coming years, the US market for bathroom and toilet assist devices may expand dramatically. A person becomes more susceptible to illnesses like osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis as they get older. Therefore, the market for assistive device makers is expected to grow with the growing senior population. The supply chains of the majority of healthcare organizations are anticipated to operate efficiently and effectively throughout the forecast period.

Toilet assist devices help individuals use the bathroom without any help and maintain their privacy. In the wake of chronic illnesses and injuries, the usage of assistive devices significantly raises the quality of life while costing a fraction of the price of hospital beds or motorized wheelchairs. Additional maintenance expenses are typically nonexistent as well. In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADL), the government establishes a few standards for certain assistive devices.

ADL describes a person with disabilities as someone who needs assistance with basic self-care activities like dressing, bathing, or using the restroom and and other daily activities. Elderly people often have difficulty performing such daily tasks in their homes, particularly when bathing. According to a pertinent study, bathing was the top activity that elderly people had trouble with, while toileting came in third. Thus, this factor increases the overall number of hours spent providing unpaid and compensated personal assistance in homes. It also raises the risk of long-term dependency and nursing home admission for elderly persons. For this particular demographic group, bathroom and toilet assistance gadgets like bath lifts, chairs, hand grips, anti-slip mats, and other bathing aids can improve their quality of life and help them perform their daily tasks without any assistance.

Toilet commodes are available in plastic, metal, and other materials, and they can be static or mobile. They also come with a variety of functions, like adjustable seating and height. When prescribed by a physician, commodes are recognized as durable medical equipment under Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance), which is a crucial element driving the segment's expansion. Commodes also lessen the requirement for caretakers and assistance with toileting. They include a box that is mounted to a chair for waste product storage. They are cozy for the elderly and those with limited movement and are simple to clean. These commodes are also adaptable and versatile. They can also be installed on the toilet or above the toilet. Alternatively, they can be utilized as shower seats.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), United States accounts for around 61 million adults with disabilities, representing nearly 26% of the adult population. According to the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs, the number of people aged 60 years or older increased from 9.2% in 1990 to 11.7% in 2013, and the number is projected to continue rising to 21.1% by 2050. The elderly population is more prone to contracting diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis, which can limit their movements and increase their dependency on a caregiver to perform their daily tasks. This factor is likely to boost the demand for various toilet and bathroom aid items in the future.

The report covers a thorough background analysis of the US bathroom and toilet assist devices market, including a qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the market, emerging market trends by segments, important changes in the market dynamics, and a market overview. The US bathroom and toilet assist devices market is very competitive, with the presence of domestic and foreign players, which occupy an established space in the fragmented market. Some of the major players in the market are Arjo Huntleigh, Etac Ab, Bischoff Medical Supplies, Dietz Rehab, and Handicare.
