Mobility Devices Market by Product
[67676758]
Based on the product, the global market for mobility devices is segmented into walking aids, scooters, and wheelchairs.
The wheelchairs segment accounts for the majority of the market revenue share. The rise in accident cases and mobility deformities are propelling the revenue growth of the wheelchairs segment. Moreover, technological advancements and increasing demand for wheelchairs in hospitals and clinics are expected to boost market revenue growth.
The walking aids segment is expected to register a significantly higher revenue CAGR during the forecast period due to its increased demand post surgeries.
Mobility Devices Market by End-user
Based on the end user, the global mobility devices market is segmented into hospitals and homecare.
The hospital segment dominates the market in terms of revenue share which is attributed to the increased road accidents and rising hospital admissions for treating neurological diseases such as paralysis, stroke, and multiple sclerosis. Moreover, increased technological advancements are increasing the adoption of mobility devices.
On the other hand, the homecare segment is expected to show higher revenue growth during the forecast period because of the rising necessity of implementing equipment for patient comfort. In addition, as the geriatric population is increasing, permanent disabilities can also drive segment revenue growth during the forecast period.
Mobility Devices Market by Region
Based on the region, the mobility devices market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the rest of the world.
The mobility devices market is likely to be dominated by North America, because of the presence of a large population with mobility issues. Moreover, government programs that reduce the burden of high-cost gadgets and better reimbursement policies are expected to increase market revenue growth.
On the other hand, the Asia Pacific mobility devices market is expected to register the fastest revenue growth during the forecast period due to factors like the rise in the geriatric population (mostly in East Asian nations like China and Japan), increased awareness of mobility devices, and increase in cases of limb dysfunctions and disorders. The Asia Pacific market for mobility devices is also expanding due to the accessibility of assistive equipment for the disabled.
Competitive Landscape
