Elderly Care Devices Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2018-2028

Segmented By Product (Mobility Assistance Aids, Assistive Furniture, Bathroom Safety & Assistive Products, Communication Aids), By End User (Hospitals, Elderly Nursing Homes, Assistive Living Facilities, Homecare, Others), By Region and Competition


The global elderly care devices market is anticipated to observe impressive growth during the forecast period 2024-2028. The major factors include widespread incidence of musculoskeletal conditions, such as osteoarthritis, psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, osteopenia, osteoporosis, and growing advancements in technology are bolstering the growth of the market. Elderly care devices are devices that are used for planning healthcare management and coordinating the care of senior citizens. These products provide comfort in the daily activities of older age people and also deliver them with long-term care needs, which in turn improve their quality of life. The other factors supporting the market’s growth are an increase in healthcare expenditure, rising awareness regarding geriatric care devices, a substantial rise of investment in research and development activities, growing disabilities, surging number of manufacturers, increasing spending on health and wellness, rising inclination towards homecare services, and rise in number of elderly people suffering chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart strokes, among others.

Rise in Prevalence of Chronic Diseases

Growing incidences of chronic diseases, such as diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis, and others among the population, are strengthening the growth of the market. These devices help them to facilitate their daily living as the use of powered wheelchairs can help elderly people to live independently. The decline in agility and slow reflexes of old age people make them prone to injuries and fall even at home; therefore, the need for elderly care devices is surging in the country. For instance, according to the NCD Alliance, more than one-third of the European population aged 15 or above suffer from chronic disease, and two out of three people at age 60 and above suffer from at least two chronic conditions.

Increasing Investments and Several Initiatives will Foster Market Growth.

Heavy investments by investors for the growing demand for elderly care devices are augmenting the growth of the market. These increasing investments are invested into new startups which aim to scale up the efforts to serve elderly people. For instance, in 2021, the UK-based elderly care tech platform Birdie got USD11.5M Series A led by Index. The Caretech Birdie focuses on having more personalized and more preventative care so that older citizens can age at home longer, happier, and healthier.

Increasing Aging Population Encourages the Market Growth

The rise in the proportion of elderly people who are aged 60 and more in the country is facilitating the growth of the market. Elderly populations are more prone to various diseases such as neurological, cardiovascular, and orthopedics, due to which there is a surge in demand for elderly care devices. Also, old age people suffer from several health issues with rising age, which in turn surges the growth of the Europe elderly care devices market. For instance, according to Statista data of 2021, Europe has the largest proportion of the aging population at 19%, whereas Italy has the largest elderly population share with 23.5% of the total population.

Recent Developments
  • Owing to the overworked care staff, SARA (Social & Autonomous Robotic Health Assistant), an innovation started by the robotic system, is used as an assistant which improves elderly care in hospitals and nursing homes. Also, it improves the quality of life of elderly residents.
  • In 2020, Essence Group, a provider of IoT-based telecare solutions for older people, launched a new UK-specific telecare solution set, which includes multiple communication channels such as fall detection, activity monitoring, and outdoor monitoring to meet unique needs of old age people in the UK.
