Rehabilitation Equipment Global Market Report 2024

The rehabilitation equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $16.27 billion in 2023 to $17.36 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including the expansion of the aging population demographic, an increase in the incidence of disabilities, a rise in participation in sports activities, an uptick in chronic diseases, a surge in sports-related injuries, and an enhanced focus on preventive healthcare measures.

The rehabilitation equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $22.84 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The projected growth in the forecast period can be credited to several factors, including the increasing emphasis on personalized medicine, a rise in healthcare expenditure, the expansion of telemedicine services, and the growing prevalence of degenerative diseases. Significant trends anticipated in this period include the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into rehabilitation practices, advancements in rehabilitation equipment, the development of smart rehabilitation devices, the incorporation of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies, and the introduction of remote monitoring solutions.

The increasing demand for home healthcare services is poised to drive the growth of the rehabilitation equipment market in the coming years. Home healthcare services encompass a range of medical and non-medical care delivered to individuals in their residences to address their healthcare needs. This demand surge is fueled by factors like aging populations, advancements in medical technology, and a transition towards value-based care models. Rehabilitation equipment plays a crucial role in home healthcare by expediting recovery, enhancing strength, flexibility, and balance, and promoting independence while ensuring patient safety through personalized monitoring and adjustments. For example, as reported by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in March 2024, the number of Medicare Fee for Service (FFS) users utilizing home health care witnessed an 8.3% increase in 2021, reaching approximately 3 million users, with 11,474 Medicare-certified home health organizations nationwide. Hence, the escalating demand for home healthcare services is propelling the rehabilitation equipment market's growth.

Key players in the rehabilitation equipment market are concentrating on developing innovative technologies, such as VR-based rehabilitation platforms, to gain a competitive advantage.
