The anticipated rise in the number of spinal cord injuries is set to drive the growth of the hydrotherapy equipment market in the future. Spinal cord injuries involve damage to any part of the spinal cord or nerves at the spinal canal's end, often resulting in changes in strength, sensation, and other bodily functions. Hydrotherapy, as a rehabilitation method for spinal cord injuries, proves effective in developing balance, strength, and movement patterns. It serves as a safe and engaging form of physical therapy when supervised by trained physical therapists. According to the United Spinal Association in July 2022, approximately 17,700 Americans acquire a spinal cord injury each year, with roughly 78% being men. Therefore, the high incidence of spinal cord injuries is a significant driver for the expected growth of the hydrotherapy equipment market.

The growing need for pain management is anticipated to boost the hydrotherapy equipment market in the future. Pain management is a specialized area of medical care aimed at alleviating or controlling pain. Hydrotherapy is crucial in this field as it provides immediate pain relief, promotes muscle relaxation, reduces muscle tension, improves blood circulation, enhances joint flexibility and mobility, and helps diminish inflammation throughout the body. For example, in July 2024, Chronic Pain Australia Limited, a non-profit organization based in Australia, conducted the National Pain Survey, which indicated that nearly half of those suffering from chronic pain are in their prime earning years, affecting national productivity. The survey included 2,599 participants, with 433 (16.7%) identifying as male, 2,065 (79.5%) as female, and 53 (2%) as non-binary. As a result, the rising demand for effective pain management solutions is driving the expansion of the hydrotherapy equipment market.
