Asia-Pacific Disabled & Elderly Assistive Device Market

Domain – Life Sciences & Healthcare

Sub Domain – Medical Devices

The Asia-Pacific Disabled & Elderly Assistive Device Market size was valued at USD 6.92 billion in 2023, and is predicted to reach USD 20.17 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 15.4% from 2024 to 2030.

The Asia-Pacific region, include countries such as Japan, South Korea, China, and Australia, are experiencing a notable increase in its elderly demographic due to longer life expectancies and declining birth rates. This demographic shift underscores a critical need for assistive devices such as mobility aids and home care devices, which are essential for older adults to maintain independence and enhance their quality of life.

According to the World Bank Group report 2022, Japan leads the region with 30% of its population being elderly, highlighting a significant proportion in need of support. With a diminishing number of younger caregivers available to meet the needs of a growing elderly population, there is a rising demand for innovative solutions tailored to support aging communities.

However, the high cost of assistive devices creates significant barriers for people in developing and underdeveloped countries, particularly those with low or fixed incomes. These essential tools, that greatly improve the quality of life for individuals with disabilities, often remain out of reach due to the stark economic disparities and limited financial resources.

On the contrary, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into disabled & elderly assistive device represents a transformative leap towards a future where these devices are not only more advanced but also more personalized and accessible than ever before. AI enables assistive devices to evolve beyond static solutions, becoming dynamic and adaptable to the specific needs of each user. Through machine learning algorithms, these devices learn from user interactions, continuously improving their functionality and responsiveness.

China Holds the Dominant Market Share in Asia-Pacific Region

China's rapid increase in patent filings is fueling innovation across various sectors, including device and healthcare. Emphasizing research and development, this strong intellectual property environment stimulates domestic innovation, attracts international investments, and establishes China as a significant global player.

According to the latest report published by World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), China filed the largest number of patent applications for assistive device from 1998 to 2019, totaling 36,968 filings. Specifically, they submitted 25,972 applications in mobility, 5,229 in hearing, 4,089 in vision, 2,589 in self-care, and 781 in cognition. The increasing number of patents underscores China's dedication to cultivating a knowledge-driven economy and propelling sustainable growth in pivotal industries.
