Global Assistive Technology Market is valued at approximately USD 21.95 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 4.5% over the forecast period 2023-2030. Assistive technology refers to any tool, device, software, or equipment that is designed to help individuals with disabilities or special needs to overcome challenges and improve their quality of life. These technologies are specifically developed to address physical, cognitive, sensory, and communication limitations that individuals may experience due to various disabilities, including but not limited to mobility impairments, visual or hearing impairments, cognitive disabilities, and language disorders. The Assistive Technology market is expanding because of factors such as rising number of orthopedic & neurological disorders and rise in ageing global population.
Assistive technology can greatly enhance the independence, productivity, and participation of individuals with disabilities in various aspects of life, including education, employment, communication, and daily living activities. Its prevalence has progressively increased during the last few decades. According to the Pan American Health Organization, in 2019, regionwide Neurological conditions account for 533,172 deaths, 40% in men, and 60% in women. Furthermore, as per Statista, the orthopedic devices market in the United States is estimated to reach up to USD 15.28 billion in 2023 at an annual growth rate of 5.49% between 2023 to 2027, resulting in a market volume of USD 18.92 billion in 2027. Another important component driving space is growing ageing global population. According to the World Bank Group, the global old age population was 727 million in 2020, and it is predicted to treble over the next three decades, reaching about 1.5 billion by 2050. In addition, as per World Health Organization, by the year 2050, 80% of older people will be living in low- and middle-income countries. Also, rise in non-communicable diseases and rising government initiatives in healthcare sector would create a lucrative growth prospectus for the market over the forecast period. However, lack of awareness regarding assistive technology stifles market growth throughout the forecast period of 2023-2030.
The key regions considered for the Global Assistive Technology Market study include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Rest of the World. North America dominated the market in terms of revenue, owing to the increased demand for assistive products and services, and government initiatives in increasing the focus towards the rights of disabled people in the region. According to Statista, the North American walker market was estimated to reach up to USD 260 million by 2024. Furthermore, Asia Pacific is expected to grow with the highest CAGR during the forecast period, owing to factors such as rising geriatric and target populations, and active participation of government and nonprofit organizations in the market space.
