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.

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.
