Revenue Analysis of Disabled and Elderly Assistive Technology (2017-2021) in Comparison to Industry Growth Forecasts (2022-2026)

The world is witnessing a substantial rise in its geriatric population and this has led to high demand for elderly transition services and assistive devices as well. The disabled and elderly assistive technology market is expected to benefit from the increasing geriatric population over the coming years.

Incidence of road accidents has also been increasing on a global scale and this has resulted in a hike in disability among the general population, which, in turn, is projected to drive sales of assistive devices for the disabled.

Other factors such as rapid technological advancements, increasing healthcare expenditure, and rising prevalence of chronic diseases are also expected to favor disabled and elderly assistive technology market potential through 2026.

However, the market growth is expected to be hampered by the high costs of advanced assistive devices, lack of acceptance in low-income economies, and low reimbursement from health insurance providers.

This latest disabled and elderly assistive technology market analysis by Fact.MR, a market research and competitive intelligence provider, predicts market evolution at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2022 to 2026.
