Global Rehabilitation Equipment Market 2023-2030

Global Rehabilitation Equipment Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Product Type (Daily Living Aids, Exercise Equipment, Body Support Devices and Mobility Equipment), by Application (Physiotherapy, and Occupational Therapy) and by End-Users (Hospitals and Clinics, Rehab Centers, Home Care Settings, and Physiotherapy Centers), Forecast Period (2023-2030)

The global rehabilitation equipment market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 8.2% during the forecast period (2023-2030) owing to the rise in the prevalence of chronic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and surge in the geriatric population suffering from osteoarthritis. Additionally, technological advancement such as designing smart accessible gadgets create opportunities for the rehabilitation equipment market. Rehabilitation is an essential part of health coverage along with promotion of good health, prevention of disease, treatment, and palliative care. According to WHO, in 2023 an estimated 2.4 billion people are living with a health condition that may benefit from rehabilitation.

Segmental Outlook

The global rehabilitation equipment market is segmented by the product type, application, and end-users. Based on the product type, the market is sub-segmented into daily living aids, exercise equipment, body support devices and mobility equipment. Based on the application, the market is sub-segmented into physiotherapy, and occupational therapy. Further, based on end-users, the market is sub-segmented into hospitals and clinics, rehab centers, home care settings, and physiotherapy centers. Among the application, the physiotherapy sub-segment is anticipated to hold a considerable share of the market. Physical therapy often gets more attention in the public eye, such as when a pro athlete gets injured. There are also more outpatient clinics for physical therapy. In addition, the rise in the prevalence of neurological disorders among the population is the key factor driving the demand for rehabilitation equipment.

The Mobility Equipment Sub-Segment is Anticipated to Hold a Considerable Share of the Global Rehabilitation equipment Market

Among the product type, the infectious disease sub-segment is expected to hold a considerable share of the global rehabilitation equipment market. Walking assistive devices are primarily those that enable individuals with physical limitations and the elderly population to move around easily. These devices include walkers, crutches, and canes. These devices improve and maintain balance, boost activity levels, reduce dependence on others, and broaden the patient's base of support all at once. The need for rehabilitation globally is predicted to increase due to changes in the health and characteristics of the population. People are living longer, but with more chronic disease and disability. One billion people, or 15% of the world’s population, experience some form of disability, and disability prevalence is higher for developing countries. WHO estimates that currently 2.5 billion people need one or more assistive products such as wheelchairs, hearing aids, or apps that support communication and cognition. Global ageing population and a rise in non-communicable diseases, this number will rise beyond 3.5 billion by 2050, with many older people needing two or more products as they age. This population is highly prone to have several diseases requiring personal mobility aid, which will further result in the adoption of walking assist devices.

Regional Outlook

The global rehabilitation equipment market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America. Among these, North America is anticipated to hold a prominent share of the market across the globe owing to various factors, including the rising incidence of chronic diseases such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and arthritis, incidence of sports-related injuries among the young population, and the existence of several significant players.

The Asia-Pacific Region is Expected to Grow at a Significant CAGR in the Global Rehabilitation equipment Market

Among all regions, the Asia-Pacific regions is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR over the forecast period. The most profitable markets are emerging economies like China and India because of their expanding patient pools, better public and private reimbursement systems, and ongoing healthcare facility development. Additionally, the region is expected to grow due to rising physician numbers, rising public awareness of rehabilitation equipment, and encouraging government initiatives and policies. With a population of over 1.4 billion, making up nearly one-third of the global population, China is a large country facing many challenges, including rapid population growth, and ageing, a high incidence of chronic diseases, an increase in the number of people with disabilities and postoperative rehabilitation, and a relatively high demand for rehabilitation therapy. At the end of 2020, China's population aged 60 and over has exceeded 264 million, accounting for 18.70% of the country's total population, an increase of 5.44 percentage points compared with 2010. Therefore, the level of rehabilitation therapist development is crucial to global health promotion.
