The rising prevalence of orthopedic disorders is anticipated to drive the growth of the physiotherapy services market. Orthopedic disorders encompass conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system, including bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage. Physiotherapy is instrumental in alleviating pain resulting from orthopedic injuries or conditions, enhancing strength, flexibility, and mobility, and preventing further damage. For example, in February 2022, as per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a US-based government health agency, the number of individuals with arthritis is projected to rise from 63.5 million in 2020 to an estimated 78.4 million adults (18 and older) by 2040, constituting 25.9% of the projected total adult population. Hence, the increasing prevalence of orthopedic disorders propels the growth of the physiotherapy services market.

The increasing incidence of sports injuries is expected to drive the growth of the physiotherapy services market in the future. A sports injury refers to any harm or injury that occurs during athletic activities. Physiotherapy services are vital in managing sports injuries by providing timely rehabilitation, addressing musculoskeletal issues, and restoring optimal function. This enables athletes to recover effectively and safely, reducing the risk of re-injury as they return to their sport. For instance, in 2023, a report from the National Safety Council, a non-profit organization based in the U.S., indicated that emergency departments treated 3.7 million individuals for injuries related to sports and recreational equipment. This represented an 8% increase, with 482,886 injuries reported in 2023 compared to 445,642 in 2022. Therefore, the rise in sports injuries is propelling the growth of the physiotherapy services market.

Technological advancements have emerged as a significant trend gaining traction in the physiotherapy services market. Leading companies in the physiotherapy services sector are embracing new technologies as part of their strategy to maintain a competitive edge. For instance, in May 2023, Universal Practice, an Australia-based health tech company, unveiled an online physiotherapy practice that utilizes body-tracking technology. Through this innovative approach, patients can connect with licensed physiotherapists online, where the therapist employs the device's camera to map out the patient's body, conduct an examination, and develop a personalized holistic treatment plan. The platform offers comprehensive support, including rehabilitation programs, daily workouts, yoga, Pilates, and the option to engage in a conversation with a physiotherapist.

Leading companies in the physiotherapy services market are focusing on the development of AI-powered physiotherapy clinics to improve patient outcomes, streamline treatment processes, and offer personalized rehabilitation plans. AI-run physiotherapy clinics utilize artificial intelligence (AI) technology to aid in diagnosing, monitoring, and treating patients undergoing physiotherapy. This integration allows patients to access automated video appointments with a digital physiotherapist on the same day they seek care. For example, in June 2024, the National Health Service (NHS), a healthcare system based in the UK, launched Flok Health, an AI-driven physiotherapy clinic. This clinic operates through a smartphone app, enabling patients to interact with an AI physiotherapist. The AI provides real-time responses based on the information shared by the patient, allowing for personalized treatment adjustments according to individual feedback and symptoms. The AI system can create customized treatment plans by analyzing patients' medical histories, movement patterns, and treatment outcomes.

In January 2022, HBF, an Australia-based private health insurance company, acquired Life Ready Health Group for an undisclosed amount. This strategic acquisition enabled HBF to expand its portfolio to include physiotherapy services, providing members with added value and opportunities to enhance their health outcomes. Life Ready Health Group, based in Australia, is a physiotherapy group offering a diverse range of physiotherapy services.
