The mobility aids market size is projected to grow from US$ 7,554.74 million in 2022 to US$ 13,344.61 million by 2030; it is estimated to record a CAGR of 7.4% during 2022–2030.
Market Insights and Analyst View:
A mobility aid is a tool that helps people with mobility issues walk; these aids can also be used by people to enhance their mobility. Mobility aids are made to make moving around easier for the elderly and disabled. Additionally, patients who have trouble moving around in their in-home care environments can be transported using these goods. Braces, canes, crutches, and walkers are a few examples of mobility aids. Walking aids include crutches, walkers, and assistive canes, commonly referred to as walking sticks. These devices can provide improved stability, decreased lower-limb burden, and/or movement generation, which help maintain upright ambulation.
Growth Drivers:
With age, people become more susceptible to mobility limitations, because of which they require medical assistance or aid to avoid dependency on other individuals. The worldwide population is aging rapidly, and the number of older adults is expected to increase significantly in the coming years. Most people expect to live into their sixties and beyond. According to a World Health Organization (WHO) 2021 study, the population of people aged 60 and above is expected to grow from 900 million in 2021 to 2 billion by 2050. The percentage of the global population aged 60 and above would almost double from 12% in 2015 to 22% in 2050.
According to the 2020 Census Bureau population statistics, the geriatric population reached 55.8 million (16.8%) of the total population of the US in 2020. The population of people aged 65 and above is predicted to surge from 2012 to 2050. Nearly 1 in 6 people in the country were aged 65 and above in 2020. As per the data published by the Fraser Institute, the share of the Canadian population aged 65 or older rose from 14% in 2010 to 19% in 2022, and it is further expected to reach 22.5% by 2030.
In Brazil, the aging population is increasing rapidly. According to the data from the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), Brazil has over 30 million people aged 60 and above (i.e., 13% of the country's population). By 2030, the population of this age group is expected to reach ~50 million (i.e., 24% of the total population). As per the Brazil Statistical Institute, people aged 65 and above are expected to hold a 36% share of the total population of Brazil by 2050. Similarly, as per the Eurostat statistics, over one-fifth (~21%) of the European population was aged 65 and above in 2022.
The geriatric population often faces issues such as reduced muscle strength, balance issues, and joint problems, making it challenging for them to move around independently. These assistance devices such as walkers, canes, and wheelchairs provide support and assistance to them. These devices can reduce the risk of injuries, help prevent falls, and allow older adults to remain active and engaged in daily activities. Therefore, the rising geriatric population is driving the growth of the mobility aids market.
