助行器市场-2024年至2029年预测Assisted Walking Devices Market - Forecasts from 2024 to 2029 |
助行器市场预计将从2022年的38.28亿美国成长到2029年的58.19亿美元,复合年增长率为6.17%。
助行器是旨在为行动不便的人提供支援和帮助的工具,使步行更轻鬆、更安全。这些设备通常供因老龄化相关问题、受伤、残疾或医疗状况而行走困难的人使用。
行动障碍的盛行率不断上升,加上老年人口的增加,导致了更多的行动问题,这也是助行器市场的关键成长要素。此外,技术的进步和復健设备需求的增加进一步加速了市场的扩张。
由于医疗状况、受伤、事故等原因造成的残疾的普遍存在导致对助行器的需求增加。关节炎、骨质疏鬆症、帕金森氏症和肌肉骨骼疾病在全球范围内呈上升趋势,预计这将推动助行器市场的发展。
例如,据世界卫生组织称,到 2022 年 6 月,预计全球约有 17.1 亿人患有肌肉骨骼问题。此外,根据 CDC 的数据,关节炎是美国成年人工作残疾的最常见原因,目前估计有2570 万人在日常活动中遇到与关节炎相关的限制,到2040 年,这一数字还将增加。预计这数字还会上升到年底将达到3500万。
随着世界人口老化,由于肌肉无力、关节问题和平衡挑战等与老龄化相关的问题,对行动辅助的需求不断增加。助行器透过提供让老年人保持独立性和行动能力的解决方案来解决这个问题。
据健康老化组织称,跌倒是老年人面临的首要行动问题。结果是骨折和瘀伤,导致永久需要助行器。据世界卫生组织称,到2030年,世界上六分之一的人口将超过60岁,从2020年的10亿增加到14亿。到 2050 年,这个年龄层的人口将增加一倍,达到 21 亿。
从手术、受伤或医疗程序中恢復的人通常需要助行器作为復健的一部分。据世界卫生组织称,有 1300 万类风湿性关节炎患者患有中度或重度疾病,可以从康復中受益。在车祸中受重伤的人通常需要行动辅助作为復健辅助。因此,大量的交通事故预计将加速助行器市场的发展。例如,据世界卫生组织称,非致命伤害影响了 2,000 万至超过 5,000 万人,其中许多人因受伤而身障者。
技术创新正在开发更复杂的步行设备,例如动力外骨骼和智慧矫正器具解决方案。这些技术为患有严重行动障碍的人描述了增强的行动选择。
智慧型矫正器具整合感测器和致动器,提供即时回馈并根据使用者的动作调整支撑,以优化步态模式和平衡。例如,2022 年 6 月,CAN Mobility 开发了世界上最聪明的手杖,透过资料改善移动性。 CAN Go 是一款超舒适、耐用且时尚的手杖,由航空级铝製成,具有柔软、不粘、防滑的握把,增加了安全性。
儘管助行器市场正在经历成长和开拓,但市场限制因素和挑战可能会影响其扩张。例如,一些先进技术和电动设备可能价格昂贵,对于收入较低的个人或医疗资源有限的地区来说,其可近性有限。
例如,折迭式轮椅的价格通常超过 9,000 印度卢比,这在经济人口分布不均的地区可能是遥不可及的。此外,电气设备和先进技术需要定期维护和修理,这不仅耗时,而且会给用户带来额外的成本。
预计北美将出现显着成长
预计在预测期内,北美将占据助行器市场的主要份额。造成这一比例的因素包括行动障碍的高发生率、老年人口、技术发展和政府支持。例如,根据疾病预防控制中心的资料,大约 12.1% 的美国人患有严重的行动障碍,导致行走或爬楼梯出现问题。 Drive DeVilbis 等市场领导的出现进一步刺激了市场扩张。
The assisted walking devices market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.17% from US$3.828 billion in 2022 to US$5.819 billion in 2029.
Assisted walking devices are tools designed to provide support and assistance to individuals with mobility challenges, helping them walk more easily and safely. These devices are often used by people who have difficulty walking due to age-related issues, injuries, disabilities, or medical conditions.
The rising prevalence of mobility disorders coupled with the growing elderly population leading to more mobility problems are a major growth driver of the assisted walking devices market. Moreover, technological advancements and increasing demand for rehabilitation equipment further accelerate market expansion.
The prevalence of disabilities caused by medical conditions, injuries, and accidents has led to a growing demand for walking aids. There are increasing cases of arthritis, osteoporosis, Parkinson's disease, and musculoskeletal conditions worldwide which is expected to boost the assisted walking devices market.
For instance, according to the WHO, about 1.71 billion individuals worldwide were expected to have musculoskeletal problems in June 2022. Moreover, according to the CDC, arthritis is the most prevalent cause of job incapacity among US adults, with an estimated 25.7 million people currently experiencing arthritis-related limits in their daily activities, and that number is expected to rise to 35 million by 2040.
As the global population ages, there is an increasing need for mobility assistance due to age-related issues, such as reduced muscle strength, joint problems, and balance challenges. Assisted walking devices cater to this demographic by providing solutions that enable older individuals to maintain their independence and mobility.
According to the Health Ageing Organization, the number one mobility issue that older persons face is falls. This results in broken bones, and bruises leading to a permanent need for assisted walking devices. According to the WHO, by 2030, 1 in 6 people globally will be 60 years or older, rising from 1 billion in 2020 to 1.4 billion. By 2050, this age group will double to 2.1 billion.
People recovering from surgeries, injuries, or medical procedures often require assisted walking devices as part of their rehabilitation process. 13 million persons with rheumatoid arthritis have moderate or severe disease that might benefit from rehabilitation according to the WHO. People affected by road accidents-related severe injuries often require mobility assistance as rehabilitation equipment. Thus, the huge number of road accidents is expected to accelerate the assisted walking devices market. For instance, non-fatal injuries affect between 20 and 50 million more individuals with many becoming disabled as a result of their injury as per the WHO.
Technological innovations have led to the development of more sophisticated walking devices, including powered exoskeletons and smart orthotic solutions. These technologies offer enhanced mobility options for individuals with severe mobility impairments.
Smart orthotic devices integrate sensors and actuators to provide real-time feedback and adjust support based on the user's movement, optimizing gait patterns and balance. For instance, CAN Mobilities developed the world's smartest walking cane in June 2022 to increase mobility through data. The CAN Go is an ultra-comfortable, durable, and stylish cane made of aircraft-grade aluminum with a soft, non-stick, non-slip grip for added safety.
The assisted walking devices market has experienced growth and development however some restraints or challenges can impact its expansion. For example, some advanced technologies and powered devices can be expensive, limiting accessibility for individuals with lower income levels or in regions with limited healthcare resources.
For instance, foldable wheelchairs generally cost more than INR 9,000 which may not be affordable in this unequally distributed economic population. Additionally, powered devices and advanced technology require regular maintenance and repairs, which can be time-consuming and add an extra cost for users.
North America is Expected to Grow Considerably
North America is expected to hold a significant share of the assisted walking devices market during the forecast period. The factors attributed to such a share are the higher prevalence of mobility disorders, the elderly population, technological developments, and government support. For instance, around 12.1% of the American population suffers from serious mobility conditions leading to problems in walking and climbing stairs as per the CDC data. The presence of market leaders such as Drive DeVilbis further stimulates market expansion.
